Petersburg

Getting Here and Around

Once you arrive in Petersburg by ferry on the Alaska Marine Highway or by airplane, a host of outdoor activities await you. Kaleidoscope Cruises conducts whale-watching and glacier-ecology boat tours led by a professional naturalist, and Tongass Kayak Adventures leads day and overnight tours to the icebergs in LeConte Glacier Bay and to see the whales of Frederick Sound. You can also see the Stikine River and LeConte Glacier from above on a flightseeing tour with the locally popular air-taxi operator Pacific Wings or rent a boat at Scandia House or Jensen Boat Rentals.
