Getting Here and Around

The Alaska Marine Highway System offers daily ferry service from Ketchikan to Metlakatla and back. If you prefer to arrive from above, ProMech Air has scheduled floatplane flights between Ketchikan and outlying communities including Metlakatla and Prince of Wales Island. Run by the Metlakatla community, Metlakatla Tours leads local tours that include visits to Duncan Cottage, the cannery, and the longhouse, along with a Tsimshian dance performance. Local taxis can take you to other sights around the island, including Yellow Hill and the old Air Force base.
