The Inter-island Ferry Authority

M/V Stikine or M/V Prince

of Wales departs Hollis every morning at

Hollis is a small community located on the east side of

Prince of Wales Island and has limited services available.  Public transportation is not available to or from the

ferry terminal without reservation.  Island Ride operates a shuttle service with reservations only.  Call for prices and reservations at 907-401-1414.  For more information

regarding available transportation services please

see our  Travel Planner pages.

The weather in SE Alaska, particularly during the months

of October thru March, can be forceful and unpredictable.  Thirty to fifty knot winds and rain are common and infrequently cause delays in arrivals and/or departures and on very rare occasions may result in cancellation of a voyage.  Passenger safety is our foremost concern in all circumstances.

General information about Prince of Wales Island can

be found in the "Prince of Wales Visitor's Guide" produced 

and available for download by the Prince of Wales

Chamber of Commerce.
