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.
For questions about accessibility in Sitka, contact Southeast Alaska Independent Living to learn more about their“ loan closet” of durable medical equipment and assistive technology for temporary use.
