Allen Marine runs a "tight ship" with comfortable accoutrements and knowledgeable crew. Silversea arranged our Sitka tour and we boarded directly from the ship in a light rain. The weather cleared during the outing, so we moved from the inside seating to the top standing area. There were plenty of great photo-moments for lots of wildlife: Bald eagles, Sea Otters,... More

we just returned from the Alaska Dream. It was a fantastic trip with a wonderful crew and about 28 of the best passengers. The ship and the staff are top notch. We enjoyed all of the stops and especially with ATV's and z-boats. The flood was super We were concerned about "Irene" targeting our town and the Captain kept us... More

We've cruised Alaska's coast before, but never saw so much wildlife. Allen Marine, a local family-owned tour business, really knows where the humpbacks, killer whales, and sea otters hang out. We took this tour out of Sitka and another from Juneau. Both tours were super, reasonably priced, and had comfortable indoor and outdoor viewing seating. More

At first, we were reluctant to sign up for another 7-hour boat ride after a rough cruise ride to get to Juneau from Seattle. But we had an extremely smooth ride in the Allen Marine’s... More

We saw several large groups of otters. As we found wildlife the captain... More

The Sea Otter Discovery Tour operated by Allen Marine Tours is a wonderful way to see the beautiful Sitka landscape and visit with adorable sea otters. We took the tour on a rainy, windy day in Sitka which was perfect for spotting sea otters as they huddled together in seaweed. The naturalist and the captain and crew on the boat... More

We recently returned from a Regent Cruise to Alaska, and took Allen Marine twice: the Misty Fjords tour in Ketchikan and the Sea Otter and Wildlife Quest in Sitka. Both were terrific. The guides were knowledgeable, but didn't deluge you with information; when the scenery spoke for itself, they let you enjoy it in the quiet. On the Misty Fjords... More

My family took the Sea Otter and Wildlife Quest as a shore excursion on our Alaskan Cruise. The ship was spotless, and the sightseeing excellent. We saw so many animal, and the wonderful and knowledable captain got us so close! But the best thing about this wildlife cruise: the guide. Our guide (cannot remember her name) obviously had a Passion... More
