Getting Here and Getting Around

Juneau, Alaska, with its pristine beauty, amazing landscapes and incredible wildlife is land-locked, which means the only way into Juneau is by Air or Sea. 

Alaska Airlines is currently the only jet service into and out of Juneau, and provides multiple flights daily.

To travel by sea, many adventurous folks drive to Skagway Alaska, Bellingham Washington, or Prince Rupert British Columbia and catch the Alaska Marine Highway Ferry.

We advise all team members to acquire (or bring your own) vehicle while in Juneau. Public transport is available, note the schedule is limited. A bicycle is not an acceptable means of transport to and from work due to the typically inclement weather and distance between work locations (as much as 16 miles).
