About Haines

Haines is a small Alaska town on Lynn Canal. Ships dock at Port Chilkoot Dock, less than a half-mile from the town center, and no tendering is needed. The walk to town is typically 15 to 20 minutes, partly uphill, and a visitor center sits just off the dock. A shuttle typically runs from the dock to the main sights while ships are in port.

Most visitors explore Fort Seward and its museums, browse local galleries, or join wildlife trips in the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. Others paddle Chilkoot Lake or fly over Glacier Bay. The town is usually quieter than larger Alaska ports.
