Getting Around Town
WHETHER YOU ’ RE PLANNING A LARGE CONVENTION OR A SMALL , INTIMATE GATHERING , there are multiple ways for your attendees to get around town from the minute they arrive .
Some hotels offer airport shuttle services , so check with yours beforehand to see if that is an option .
Sitka is home to three motorcoach transportation companies with options that vary from full-sized motorcoaches for 40 + passengers to medium-sized sprinter vans and smaller passenger vehicles . Under their care , your guests will travel comfortably , safely , and reliably around Sitka .
Our car rental companies offer cars , vans , and even pick-up trucks ! Or , if you want to leave the driving to someone else , you can hire a local chauffeur service by the hour or the day . Sitka also has multiple taxis and a public bus service , including two lines of operations that run along Sitka ’ s main road system .
Most of Sitka ’ s meeting venues are located within walking distance of lodging , but our extensive biking trail system , cyclist-friendly streets , and affordable bike rentals are enough to satisfy any biking enthusiast .
