WELCOME TO WRANGELL
Your adventure awaits
HOW TO GET HERE
Easier than you think
Wrangell is located in Southeast Alaska in the heart of the Tongass National Forest, along the Inside Passage between Juneau and Ketchikan. The town of Wrangell is perched on the northern tip of Wrangell Island and is only accessible by boat or plane. There is so much to do in and around Wrangell, especially from May thorugh September. July & August are the peak season for weather and wildlife.
BY AIR
Alaska Airlines provides daily service from Seattle and Anchorage, as well as Juneau, Petersburg, and Ketchikan. Sunrise Aviation is our local air charter service that provides flights to and from other Southeast Alaska communities. There are other small charter plane services in nearby communities that provide service to Wrangell, as well as surrounding islands, towns, and amazing flightseeing tours. A plane ride over the icefields of the Stikine-LeConte Wilderness Area is highly recommended!
BY SEA
The Alaska Marine Highway System provides ferry service within Alaska and occasionally to and from Bellingham, WA. Breakaway Ferry is a local private ferry with service to other Southeast Alaska communities--note that you will need to call for their schedule as it changes based on need. Many of our local jet boat charter operators also provide water taxi services to Petersburg, Prince of Whales Island, and drop offs to local USFS cabins.
