Hoonah, being an island community, is only accessible by boat or plane.

===Ferry===
The [[Alaska Marine Highway]] serves Hoonah with the [[M/V LeConte|M/V ''LeConte'']] with recent gaps in coverage due to state funding and needed repair work.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://dot.alaska.gov/comm/pressbox/arch_2019/PR19-0050.shtml|title = Press Release, Transportation & Public Facilities, State of Alaska}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ktoo.org/2019/10/31/leconte-repairs-delayed-potentially-dropping-another-alaska-ferry-from-the-winter-schedule/|title=LeConte repairs delayed, potentially dropping another Alaska ferry from the winter schedule|date=October 31, 2019}}</ref>{{r|Resneck}}  The ferry service has traditionally offered residents a slower but more dependable and cheaper option to travel to and from Hoonah to [[Juneau, Alaska|Juneau]].

The city of Hoonah operates a small boat harbor, a large vessel mooring harbor and a new boat haul-out facility. The Alaska Department of Transportation built a new ferry facility that opened in early 2001 in Hoonah.

===Airport===
The [[Hoonah Airport]] was expanded in 2011 and now has a {{convert|3000|ft|adj=on}} runway. The airport is planned for expansion to better allow military [[C-130]]s from the Coast Guard and Air National Guard to land in Hoonah.

The airport offers service via bush carrier [[Alaska Seaplanes]] which offers multiple flights a day between Hoonah and Juneau and other local communities. Connections can be made in Juneau with [[Alaska Airlines]] for regional and interstate travel or to other bush carriers traveling to remote villages or communities from Juneau.
