wrangell: how to get here and where to stay
While it's true you can't drive here, there are several other transportation options! And beautiful lodging once you arrive.
Alaska Airlines
Wrangell is served by Alaska Airlines with Boeing 737 jets. Flight 65 is northbound from Seattle and departs around 8 am daily arriving at 10:30am after a stop in Ketchikan. Flight 64 departs Anchorage at 12:45 and Juneau at 2:15 pm, arriving in Wrangell at 4:15 after a stop in Petersburg. These flights are also available with their codeshare partners.
Alaska Marine Highway System
The summer ferry schedule is usually published in the spring. We expect it to be released in March with multiple sailings to and from Wrangell. Coming from the Lower 48, the best place to catch the ferry is from Bellingham, WA. The ride is about 700 miles long and takes 48 hrs. Wrangell is the first stop after Ketchikan. Alternately, if driving north, catch us on your southbound leg by boarding the ferry in Haines or Skagway. We’re the stop after Petersburg. In 2023, the ferry from Prince Rupert started running in June and was open for reservations.
