Second Time was Even Better

5.00This 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

5.00It 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.
Disappointing

1.00We 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

5.00Loved 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! 😍😍😍
