Gustavus is a picturesque community located 48 air miles west of Juneau, Alaska's state capital. Spread across a large plain created by receding glaciers, Gustavus is an oasis of humanity surrounded by Glacier Bay National Park, the wild and lonely roads, beaches, and waters of Gustavus invite individual exploration and solitude.
Visitors arrive by plane or boat as there are no outside roads connected to the area. Air taxis, Alaska airlines jet, and a privately run ferry provide service to Gustavus from Juneau during the summer months. There are a variety of personally hosted Inns, and Bed & Breakfasts in Gustavus and a lodge in the National Park. Saltwater fishing and natural history boat charters, kayak rentals, flight seeing, whale watch tours, golfing, biking and hiking allow access to the wilderness that surrounds us. Local cafes, galleries and gift shops are in the town center. Everywhere in Gustavus you may see eagles, bears, moose, and shore and marine birds with a backdrop of wildflower fields and 360 degree views of mountains. Gustavus is a paradise for photographers and adventurers alike!
