Haines is more accessible than most other southeast Alaskan communities of its size, as it is connected to the North American highway system by the [[Haines Highway]], which passes through [[British Columbia]] on its way to the junction with the [[Alaska Highway]] at [[Haines Junction]], [[Yukon]]. However, snow and ice conditions in the winter and the long driving times can often make this route less feasible, and at times results in closure of the portion of the highway in the [[Chilkat Pass]], just north of the Canada–US border. Haines is one of only three cities in southeast Alaska which are accessible by road to another city, the other two being [[Skagway, Alaska|Skagway]] and [[Hyder, Alaska|Hyder]]. The primary mode of intra-Alaskan transportation is by the [[Alaska Marine Highway]]. The [[Lynn Canal]] route of the ferry system ([[Juneau, Alaska|Juneau]]-Haines-[[Skagway, Alaska|Skagway]]) is the only profitable route in the entire system{{Citation needed|date=December 2008}} and often receives a large amount of ferry traffic, especially in the summer.

The [[Haines Airport]] receives a large amount of traffic, with one air carrier (Alaska Seaplanes) providing services to Skagway and [[Juneau, Alaska|Juneau]]. Haines became a port-of-call to several cruise ship operators including Princess Cruises and the Holland-America Line. As of summer 2009, the cruise ship visiting frequency was about 18 per season, according to local residents.{{citation needed|date=April 2012}} Between 2010 and 2012, an average of 30,000 cruise ship passengers visited annually.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hainesalaska.gov/sites/default/files/fileattachments/community_amp_economic_development/page/1598/haines_port_study_final_report_12-24-2012.pdf|title=Port of Haines: Potential for Development|last=Northern Economics, Inc.|date=December 2012}}</ref> The cruise ship berth is very near [[Fort William H. Seward]].
