Alaska’s Boardwalk Lodge is located on Thorne Bay in Southeast Alaska. Guests traveling outside Alaska, in the Continental United States, will typically fly to Seattle’s SeaTac airport, take a 90-minute Alaska Airlines flight to Ketchikan, then a breathtakingly beautiful 33-minute float plane ride from Ketchikan directly to Boardwalk’s dock.
