Alaska Bus Tour Service
Leave the Driving to Others

Alaska Bus Tours to Wrangell/St. Elias National Park - This is a huge territory which is bordered by the Tok-Cutoff Highway on the north side and extends all the way to the coast of Alaska, at the top of the southeastern Alaska Panhandle.

These companies provide bus tours to the old mining ghost town of McCarthy, which is on the south side of the Park. Actually the road ends at the Kennecott River which is one mile from McCarthy. You have to cross the river on a foot bridge.

But once across the bridge, you can take a shuttle to McCarthy. You can also take a bus tour the additional six miles to the Kennecott Copper Mines and ghost town.

These Alaska bus tour services will pick you up from local hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts or RV parks in the towns of Glennallen, Copper Center or Chitina. If you are someplace in between and want to be picked up, they will probably do that, too. Just give them a call!

By the way, the McCarthy Road is a REALLY bad road to drive on, so you are better off taking a bus! (It is a one lane dirt road and can have unexpected rocks and holes.)

You can also get a Shuttle bus tour one way or round trip from Anchorage to McCarthy on Tuesday or Saturday with the following company. That is, if there are at least four people in your group.

Provides transport from McCarthy to Kennecott. Tickets for this service are also sold by Backcountry Connection.

Alaska Bus Tour Services registered with Kenai Fjords National Park or operating from Seward

Some of these make connections to and from the eastern side of the Kenai Peninsula and are registered with Kenai Fjords National Park for transport between Seward and Exit Glacier. Not all provide guided tours but they do give shuttle services.

As you can see from the names and addresses, many of these are truly Alaska bus tour companies, and they undoubtedly have many bus tours that they operate throughout Alaska.

More private than a bus tour, these Seward taxi services are also registered to provide shuttle service to Exit Glacier in Kenai Fjords Park.

Alaska Bus Tour Service registered with Denali National Park - These buses will take you to Denali National Park. Since traveling with your own vehicle within Denali National Park is limited to the first 15 miles in summer, find out more about Alaska tour bus service within Denali Park.

An Alaska bus tour or shuttle service is just another way to get around Alaska. If you arrived here by plane or ship, these bus tour services will give an easy way to get to some of your destinations, and give you the advantage of seeing everything along the way.
