About us

Allen Marine Tours is a family-owned business, and one of the oldest tour companies in Alaska. We have been cruising the pristine waters of the Inside Passage for over 45 years. We currently operate vessels from the ports of Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka. All of our day-cruises are thoughtfully designed to provide our guests with the best means possible to view and learn about the wilderness and wildlife of Southeast Alaska, and provide insight into the human history & cultures of the people who live here.

The vessels we operate were custom built in our own shipyard in Sitka, and our unmatched experience is evident in every design. Features common to all vessels include spacious and comfortable passenger accommodations, wrap-around windows and expansive open-air observation decks. Most of our fleet is made up of high-performance, waterjet-powered catamarans, preferred by all who ride them for their speed, smooth ride and superior maneuverability.

Every year our goal is to operate the highest-rated shore excursions in Alaska. Allen Marine Tours has received numerous awards for tour quality and we have earned an industry-wide reputation for exceeding our guest’s expectations.

What we'll do

Take a round trip adventure from Ward Cove!

Tour Highlights
• Catamaran reliability! This tour is seldom affected by rain or low clouds. These common conditions, which often cause flight seeing tours to cancel, actually enhance the beauty of Misty Fjords.

• The most luxurious way to experience Misty Fjords! The newest and fastest vessel in Alaska.

• Award-winning tour quality! Tour operator has over 45 years of experience. Skilled Captain, professional Naturalist, and the friendliest, most attentive service crew in Alaska.

• Enjoy the service and narrative provided by your crew and watch for marine and coastal wildlife as you 'fly' at sea level past the rugged coastlines bordering Revillagigedo Channel.

• Along the way you may stop to view an active bald eagle's nest, and New Eddystone Rock; an immense volcanic spire rising from the emerald sea.

• Delight in the unhurried exploration of Rudyerd Bay. Here you'll learn the natural history of the fjords and listen to the call of nesting seabirds while gliding quietly beneath 3,000-foot glacier sculpted cliffs.

• On the cruise back to Ketchikan, watch for whales, seals, eagles, and other wildlife!
