Excellent Tour! Tour guides worked very hard to ensure we saw several whales. Beautiful sites as well and overall great day!

This was our second time choosing Harv and Marv for whale watching in Juneau. It was even better this time. Although a previous storm had caused the whales to disappear from their usual spot, our tour guide knew where they now were. We saw over 30 whales. It was so exciting. If we come back to Juneau for a third time, we will book Harv and Marv again. Great excursion.
Great tour with many impressions

It was a great tour and thanks to Dale who told us a lot about whales. The pick up at the ship was great and the bus transport to the port was very pleasant and the driver Katy could tell us a lot about the area. We would book the tour again. Many thanks to the whole team for this great experience.

We hired the tour because it was one of the few that included seeing a glacier on the way, that didn’t happen and they didn’t explain why. The duration of the excursion marked 4h 30min, lasted 3h 50min. Worse, the sighting was practically nonexistent and they had time to move location but they didn't, for me a waste of money.
A great experience

Knowledgeable staff that shared so much information about the whales and sea lions. The captain made ever attempt to make sure we saw as much as we could. He even shared amazing pictures for us to keep.

Loved it! The captain Dalton and naturalists Tessa and Cora were fantastic! Lots of good information, really knowledgeable. Saw whales! And a good variety of other animals and beautiful vistas. I would highly recommend and would absolutely go out with them again! I also loved that they shared the photosthat they took at the end, so I could spend more time watching with my eyes and still have some amazing photos from the experience! 😍😍😍
Well worth the money!

Ok we went 6Oct25, way late in the season so we knew the quantity of whales would be low but Capt Anise (sp?) did a great job tracking the few remaining whales down. Deckhands Coral and David (who MC’d) were awesome. We saw Sasha and her little one ChaCha as well as Ripper. I can’t remember the others names but we saw 5 total. Shout out to or greeter Roman and bus driver Jordan. This crew did very well given the weather and time of the season. Would highly recommend.

Harv & Marvs was an amazing experience. We went at the end of September and were lucky enough to see about 60 whales! They always answered the phone when I called with questions, they arrived after a short wait at the pier in a nice bus, great boat, knowledgeable guide - customer service was great! This tour lasts 3 hours which allowed us the time to go a bit farther out to find the pod of whales!!
