Editorial Review: Product Description: The focus of this book is the Alaska Marine Highway, which serves as a lifeline for many coastal communites in Alaska. This ferry system - a total of nine boats - links tiny coastal communites and large cities alike. It runs from Washington, up the Inside Passage, all the way to the Aleutians in the far north, a total of 3,500 miles. The Adventure Guide to The Inside Passage & Coastal Alaska follows this route, telling you everything you need to know about the ships themselves, the sights and the towns. Tours on land - flightseeing, kayaking, canoeing, boating - are covered. The book is targeted at anyone traveling in this region, not just those taking the ferry, and has full information on what to see and do in each town, where to stay and eat and how to get out of town. Extensive details about wildlife, including the best places to see some, and how to be an eco-conscious traveler. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good reference even if you - gasp! - go by cruise shipThis book is oriented toward people who are doing the Inside Passage by ferry rather than cruise ship. Throughout the book there is constant snottiness toward cruises. I went by cruise ship and still found the book worth the price. If you are taking ferry boats, then this is the book to buy. The author does grudgingly admit that cruising is economical. Yes. I got 7 nights lodging, all the gourmet food I could eat, transportation to four cities, and an excursion to Hubbard Glacier for $1000. If my companion had had a more flexible schedule, I could have done it for $700. I.e., $100/day. Pretty hard to do better than that. Rating:  - excellent reference for travelI got a copy from the library, read it then went to amazon to order it. That says it all. We head to Alaska next year. |
