Many visitors combine a few brief tours with an independent travel itinerary, enjoying the best of both options. Getting to Alaska is easy. Air travel is fast, leaving you more time for other vacation activities. Arriving by car, camper, or scheduled motocoach, can take five to 10 days, but gives you a chance to enjoy the landscape. Cruiseships and ferries can bring you to Alaska in three to seven days.
Many visitors use all three travel modes during their trip.
Advance reservations are recommended for tours, accomodations, and travel by air, rail, cruiseship, or state ferry. This is especially important during the peak season from May through September.
