Getting Here and Getting Around

Helping passenger board Our bases of operation in Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka are surrounded by wilderness and can only be reached from the outside world by Alaska Airlines and the Alaska Marine Highway Ferry Service. Allen Marine does not offer transportation assistance or reimbursement to reach each individual location.

Juneau is the state capital (population: 30,000) with a limited public bus system that connects the main commerce centers but does not extend far outside the main city limits. Public transportation ends 1.5 miles from our facility. It is recommended to bring a vehicle to Juneau or consider purchasing a used vehicle (usually ample quantity). Car pooling among crew members is very common.

Ketchikan is Alaska’s “Salmon Capital” and the fourth largest city (population: 14,000) in the state. There is a public bus system that connects the main commerce centers but does not extend far outside the main city limits. It is possible to live comfortably in Ketchikan without a vehicle, but it is recommended that you at least bring a bike to get around town.

Sitka, Alaska’s first capital, is considered to be one of Alaska’s most picturesque and historically fascinating communities (population: 9,000). Sitka is a very pedestrian and bike-friendly town with 7 miles of road in each direction from the downtown area. Local bus service is also available. Allen Marine Tours housing is located 1-mile from our Sitka fleet’s base of operations.

For Fun

Alaska is like nowhere else on earth. Its great expanses of raw, dramatic, untouched wilderness have a profound effect on visitors and residents alike. In Southeast Alaska there are countless glaciers and remote islands that are home to an abundance of wildlife.

What is there to do in Southeast Alaska? Just about everything from strenuous to leisurely! Just to get started you can kayak, hike or mountain bike, camp on a pristine beach, or rent a Forest Service cabin accessible by trail, boat or float plane. The fishing here is world-class. Fly-fish for trout on a lake or rent a skiff and troll for salmon in a bay. Local recreation centers offer a variety of activities from swimming to racquetball to martial arts to belly dancing! Local artists and experts offer workshops and lectures in traditional native and classical art forms, natural and local history and maritime science. Explore your artistic side by attending a wide variety of festivals and performances scheduled throughout the summer featuring local and visiting artists in music, dance and theatre. Browse local galleries, museums and libraries for a glimpse into the cultural panorama. Or just join your friends at the end of the day to enjoy a hearty Alaskan meal of all-you-can-eat crab or awesome halibut pulled from the local waters.
