More and more of our trips are starting and ending in small towns like Kake, Hoonah and Pelican (maybe Craig soon). It offers a fantastic experience to paddlers to see Alaska from a small plane or ferry and to see a small Alaska town. More importantly, it adds a day to your trip that would otherwise be spent motoring in Abyssinia. The cost is usually very reasonable (for example: $69 to fly from Juneau to Hoonah). The sights are worth it too!
