About Pacific Alaska Tours
Alaska Native Owned & Locally Operated
Pacific Alaska Tours is proud to be an Alaskan-owned and operated company with deep roots in Alaska’s communities and cultures. As part of the Alaska Coach Tours family, we are 80 percent owned by Na-Dena’, a joint venture between Doyon, Limited (the Alaska Native regional corporation for Interior Alaska) and Huna Totem Corporation (the Alaska Native village corporation for Hoonah, Alaska). The remaining ownership is held by the dedicated employees of Alaska Coach Tours.
This unique ownership structure connects our operations directly to Alaska’s indigenous heritage and ensures that tourism dollars support local communities and Alaska Native shareholders throughout the state.
