Allen Marine Tours

These guys run a great whale watching tour. Every handoff from the ship to the bus to the boat was smooth and carefully orchestrated. They were entertaining throughout. The food was good--and tons left over, despite the boat being at capacity. Everything was clean and in good repair. We laughed at the "$100 no whale guarantee" that apparently has never been needed. And, sure enough, we saw a bunch of whales. The narration was good and they even handed around some baleen, which was cool. Highly recommended.

Very friendly and kind server at the on board bar/snack counter. I was experiencing some sea sickness and he gave me some ginger chews to help. Tour was awesome! It was late in the season but we saw a pod of 3 Orcas and some humpback whales. Highly recommend!

Went whale watching on this tour. I was so excited to see 2 humpback whales and 2 other kind. And the staff answering all our questions about how the whales come up for air and sleep. I highly recommend this tour.

What an amazing time we had on our whale watching tour! Definitely saw whales. And our stop at Orca Point Lodge was fabulous. The food was so delicious. Looking for an excursion on your Alaskan cruise. Be sure to book with these guys. Class act for sure. Friendly, personable and so much fun to be with.

What a fantastic experience to be close up to the whales and sea lions. Rapidly taken out into the bay directly to where the whales can be seen. The journey out was amazing with great scenic views of the water, the shores, the snow-covered mountains and four massive and spectacular glaciers. The guide on the tour was helpful, very friendly, and full of information about the sea life. I would highly recommend Allen Marine Tours for a memorable day with 2-3 hours aboard the boat.

My first time whale watching in Alaska and I was not disappointed. Upon our first 20 minutes we spotted a mama humpback with her calf. To watch them swim alongside each other was magic.

There was a lady who was angry that they weren’t jumping out of the water and doing flips. I guess she’s never heard of SeaWorld.

If you’re looking for an easygoing ride amongst the snow capped mountains, looking out for whales in their natural habitat then this is for you. No matter where you are located on the boat, you will see a whale whether it is inside or outside, they do a great job of making sure everyone gets to see.

Huge thank you to Captain Chris, John, Bella and Austin for working overtime and taking us out on what was the most gorgeous calm sunny day Alaska has ever seen. The water was beautiful, the sunset was beautiful and of course the whales we saw were beautiful! We also saw sea lions and a black bear! Chris had some great stories and I appreciated him telling us everything he was doing and what the regulations were and why. The whole atmosphere was chill and fun but also informative and an overall great experience!!

My wife and I went on a whale watching excursion while on an Alaskan cruise. What an experience! We had hump back whales fluke right next to our boat. We also came across seals and bald eagles. Fantastic opportunity thanks to Allen Marine Tours

We did the Otter and Wildlife Quest at Sitka and were picked up right off the cruise ship so we didn't have to take a tender in to the dock. Mo was our naturalist and led us to sea lions, a couple bald eagles, a bear sighting, and a raft of otters. The sea was rough enough to make the otter sighting difficult, but seeing a bear in the wild for the first time was a thrill.

We rode the St. Gregory for whale watching as part of a Celebrity Cruise lines excursion. We also went out to the orca point lodge for dinner. Had an amazing time, the crew were super friendly. The snack bar on board was a nice touch. They even threw I complimentary hot cocoa and donut holes, which definitely made the experience better for tired kids. Would definitely recommend!

We were on the SS Tatiana. The crew was excellent. We had several fantastic wildlife sightings including a group of sea otters fighting over an octopus (or squid; the naturalist wasn’t sure). I would recommend going on a tour with Allen Marine Tours.

This is a MUST do tour to the Tracy Arm Fjord. We got to touch the glacier and have their signature cocktail the Glacierita. I am not a fan of tequila and was a little bummed that I couldn't swap out the liquor but this tequila was of high quality. Everyone said the dri k was not weak but because of the quality of the tequila it tasted perfect to me and I am not a margaritas girl. Hunter the bar tender was great. In the 2 hours we were on the boat we saw waterfalls, scenic and picturesque views, wild life. We saw the glacier calving a total of 3 times. The captain of the boat did a great job navigating it so everyone got a great view so don't worry about what side you were on. They had complimentary hot chocolate , tea and donut wholes as well as chips and other snacks you could purchase. They also had other drinks.

Hunter and the rest of the crew on our tour were amazing! We really appreciated the attention they gave to everyone on board, answering questions, and providing lots of great information about the wildlife and natural resources of the area. We also saw more whales than we were expecting so that was just a wonderful bonus!

This was amazing!
Amazing!!
Truly, we can't say this enough. As a family, we have been on multiple whale watching tours in Alaska and Hawaii. This was the best. The boat wasn't too crowded, our driver was great to get us close and on each side, the guide was knowledgeable, the crew was friendly. Everything about this experience was great.
It helped that we were blessed enough with sun, bubble feeding, and a breach all on the same trip. That all just made the experience better.
Again, we couldn't ask for a better trip. It's been the best!

Allen Marine crew was great! Very helpful and responsive to questions. The naturalists on both tours that I took were knowledgable and funny.

Amazing experience. We came all the way from Florida to experience Alaska’s beauty & their wonderful wildlife. We were very happy with how he experience and highly recommend this tour. 👍

He did it very exciting. Zodiac boat tour through very non-populated areas of Alaska. We saw three eagles in a they only have seals. Do you have the option to drive your own zodiac or get in with others. I thoroughly enjoy driving. There is a small snack and choice of beer or beverage at the end.

We did Misty Fjords in Ketchikan and Evening whale watching in Juneau with this tour group. Both of our guides were knowledgeable and personable, they also had very positive attitudes. Super fun and informative.

Went on a tour as part of our anniversary. It did not disappoint. The guides promise to see whales or they’d refund part of the tour cost. We travelled out into the bay in a covered catamaran.

Working with other tours, they waited for the right time to see humpback whales (we saw probably 5). We also got to see Sea Lions and it was a lot of fun.

Even though the boat was full, the crew were very attentive and provided drinks and snacks for the passengers.

Just an outstanding time and they definitely helped make our anniversary even more special.

We took two separate tours with this company. Both were lively and educational. I took many pictures of whales and seals. The company was run very professionally. All the employees were very nice and friendly.
