ABOUT US
Step off the cruise ships into our world, to enjoy exclusive Juneau whale watching tours. Our smaller boats offer more personal experiences with the option of 6 guests on our smaller vessels or 18 – 40 guests on our larger vessels. At Harv and Marv’s we want to spend more time with you on the water, which is why we offer three hours with our locally-trained captains looking for and enjoying our marine mammals! Since 2004, our guests have enjoyed watching humpback whales on 100% of our whale watching tours!
TOP-RATED WHALE WATCHING TOURS IN JUNEAU
This was such a memorable day! The bus stopped at a viewpoint of Mendenhall Glacier and then to board the boat for our whale watch. We booked our tour for the 6 person maximum capacity. Our guide/driver was very knowledgeable and had us seeing humpbacks (even a breaching baby!), sea lions, otters, and porpoises. I highly recommend Harv & Marv's!

We used Harv and Marv's for a shore excursion on our recent cruise, and we're so glad we did. Not only did we see many whales, but the entire experience was outstanding. Graham was a phenomenal guide, passionate about the whales and Alaska, and very knowledgeable about the individual whales we were seeing. We were so glad we booked!

My wife and I booked a boat for up to 6 people. We were the only two. Mickey met us at the dock with enthusiasm. Captain John was fantastic! Very knowledgeable about all the sea life. We saw six different whales, bald eagles, and sea lions. He brought us to a few different places. It was a really beautiful day with calm seas. A truly great experience!

We had a wonderful experience a few family members were on this boat with us and a few were on a larger boat at the same time ...hands down Harv and Marv's experience was superior ...we actually had a whale sneak up right beside the boat ...the captain said it was a first for him! The captain was great and so was the naturalist! We highly recommend it.
