Over 1.6 million cruise passengers visit Southeast Alaska every year. They spend a few hours in each town, their dollars flow through cruise-affiliated companies, and communities are actively capping visitor numbers to protect their quality of life.
But there's another way to see Southeast Alaska. The Alaska Marine Highway ferry system connects over 30 communities across 3,500 miles of coastline. Independent travelers who take the ferry stay for days, not hours. They eat at local restaurants, book with local guides, and sleep in local lodges. Every dollar goes directly into the community economy.
The problem? There's no tool that makes this kind of travel easy to plan. Until now.
What we're building
AMHS schedules between Southeast communities with vessel info, travel times, pricing, and direct links to book. The backbone of your trip.
Every port of call, covered honestly. What to do, where to eat, how to get from the terminal to town, and how many days to plan — from people who actually live here.
Fishing charters, whale watching, kayak guides, lodges, restaurants, and cultural experiences — organized by community. Real businesses run by real Alaskans.
Local B&Bs and lodges, vacation rental links, and USFS public use cabins — remote wilderness shelters most visitors don't know exist, bookable for as little as $35/night.
Build your itinerary around the ferry schedule. See your ferry legs and community stops on a visual timeline with saved activities and realistic time budgets.
Community guides and ferry schedules cached for use without cell service — critical in Southeast Alaska, where connectivity disappears between communities.

Built by a Southeast Alaska tourism operator who understands what it takes to run a business in a small coastal community.
