Harb & Marv whale watch and Mendenhall Glacier viewing - All staff shoresides, bus driver Chris, Capt Marvin, Tess and Coral were very helpful especially to me with my walker and disability. The new Boat Beacon was very comfortable both inside, nice plush seats and great aft viewing by platform. Tess even pointed out that I could sit on the steel edge.

Fantastic tour, lots of humpbacks - Harv and Marv's or Juneau Lighthouse Tours runs a fantastic operation. Pickup was on a large charter bus to take the Auke Bay with a stop to view Mendenhall Glacier on the way. We were on the Pharos boat which was one of the newest with two levels of indoor seating, two bathrooms, and was clean and shiny. Snacks (coke/diet coke/rice krispy bars) provided. Two naturalists' were on board to provide education about whales and help observe along with Cap. John, all were fantastic and really loved their jobs and the animals. Saw lots of humpbacks and some porpoises and even though it poured down rain the whole time it was fantastic. Enjoyed this company as their tour time is an hour longer than competitors allowing them to get into some other areas to search.

Best Day Ever!!! - If you are on the fence about this experience, jump off now and sign up for this tour! This has been the highlight of our trip so far in Alaska. Nick, Morgan and Dalton were more than amazing. So knowledgeable and friendly. On this trip, we saw orcas, 🐋, humpback and sea lions. We witnessed a baby breaching and saw bubblenetting, rolling and the orcas riding the surf! We also saw amazing views of several glaciers. The most amazing day! Thank you. Sign up now!!! 😀

Whale watching cruise exceeded our expectations. - Our whale watching cruise with Harv and Marv’s Whale Cruise was wonderful. Our cruise guides Morgan and Cory were very knowledgeable, personable and great hosts on the cruise. We saw orcas and whales and their knowledge of the individual whales, their locations and history was impressive. Morgan was a very personable guide whose passion and knowledge about whales was clearly evident and we appreciated it very much. We say quite a few whales in three or four different locations and the captain Dalton did a great job getting us into position to view the whales at the proper distance without harassing the whales. We enjoyed the tour very much and highly recommend it.

Great Experience!! - We had a great time. We saw many humpback whales. We also happened to see 3 Orcas, which the guides said was rare. It was fabulous. Morgan, Cory and Dalton were our captain and crew. They were so knowledgeable and got just as excited as we did to see all of the whales. The boat we were on was only a month old and was so nice. We would definitely do this again!

Nice boat ride, no whales - We were in Alaska on a northbound cruise. We hadn’t seen any whales on our cruise so wanted to go on a whale watching boat.
The crew were nice and gave out interesting information on the whales typically seen in the Alaskan waters nearby. Unfortunately we did not see any o our trip, but you can’t fault the company for what nature doesn’t provide … and wild animals are in charge of where they decide to be.
However back on the ship we spoke with several other passengers who say several whales on their whale watching trips… so maybe the captain and crew need to be aware of where the whales decide to be on a day and adjust their sailing plan to go where the whales are?
