Alaska Motorcoach & Bus Lines

You won't find Greyhound up here, rather a series of small bus companies that can get you to most of Alaska's highlights.

Some of the buses are luxurious coaches. Others are smaller coaches and vans that link between many of the towns. With the exception of Seward to Anchorage and Anchorage to Denali (which is served by both types), usually the vans make the runs to the smaller towns.
