poolwife Posted March 16, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Wondering if anyone has had any experience in going on the Allen Marine Jet Tour Cruise to Misty Fjords from Ketchikan? Does it go so fast you can't really see anything? How is the trip? We were planning on taking it in late June, 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterwiggs Posted March 16, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2005 We are signed up for this tour also and can't find anyone who has done it. It is called Misty Fjords Wilderness Explorer. It's a four hour cruise into the National Monument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolwife Posted March 18, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Thanks for replying. The only one I talked to that had been on this was a girl I talked to at the "Lumberjack Show" and she said it was the best boat to go to Misty Fjords and the fastest. There is also a 6 1/2 hour cruise but she said that boat is just slower. She didn't work for Allen Marine so I was hoping she was right. I want to see Misty Fjords without flying so hope this is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredS Posted March 18, 2005 #4 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I have not been on that particular jet boat tour, but have been on them in New Zealand and on the Rogue River in Oregon and you do not go so fast that you cannot see things. You can see a great deal and usually the boat guides have spots where they stop and explain some interesting sight to you. They often times will slow or stop when something unusual is seen. While they have a schedule to keep, there is usually some slack time in it for the unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
