Once in town, it’s a short walk or cab ride (about half a mile) to the Inter-Island Ferry Authority terminal.
If you’re arriving by Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS), simply walk into the terminal and follow signs to the Inter-Island Ferry Authority desk in the shared terminal space.
Step 3
Take the Ferry to Hollis
Board the Inter-Island Ferry Authority for a scenic trip across Clarence Strait to Prince of Wales Island.
INTER-ISLAND FERRY SERVICE
The Inter-Island Ferry Authority provides daily, year-round service between Ketchikan and Hollis. The trip takes approximately three hours and offers a comfortable and scenic journey through Southeast Alaska.
