Alaska Bus Company

What’s an affordable, comfortable, and reliable way to get around the Kenai Peninsula? Just hop aboard one of Alaska Bus Company’s 27-passenger shuttle buses! This summertime-only service runs 7 days a week. The 5-hour route runs in both directions between the Anchorage airport and the charming town of Homer, stopping in Girdwood, Cooper Landing, and Soldotna. They can even pick you up along the highway at smaller towns along the way, like Sterling, Ninilchik, and Anchor Point with advance notice.

You’ll be traversing one of the world’s most scenic routes, with big picture windows to look out from your reclining leather seat. (Buses also have shades, if you’d rather rest.) Take advantage of the USB and 120v charging outlets as you travel in air-conditioned comfort; buses feature air ride suspension, making for an exceptionally smooth trip. They also have Starlink WiFi so you can stay connected during your journey! Drivers may provide some narration along the way, but their focus is getting you to your destination safely.

Luggage is free, up to 2 large check-in-size bags (there’s a small fee for additional bags), and the bus stops about every hour for a restroom break. Bring your own car seat if traveling with infants; pets are allowed but must be kept in a kennel.

Private Charters

If you’ve got a group, book an Alaska Bus Company vehicle for a private charter! There’s a 4-hour minimum, or you can hire a vehicle and driver to stay with your group for the whole trip. It’s ideal for family reunions, company retreats, and weddings. And, the service is not limited to the Kenai Peninsula. Charters are available throughout Southcentral and Interior.

About Alaska Bus Company

Husband-and-wife owners Brian and Soniyae started Alaska Bus Company about 3 years ago, after they had trouble finding affordable transportation between Anchorage and Homer for guests coming to a very important occasion—their wedding! They converted their first bus to run on vegetable oil, working with restaurants in Homer to supply this eco-conscious fuel and passing on the savings to their riders. Today they’ve expanded the fleet; look for more routes and vehicles in the future!
