Whale Watching with JLT From $159

Join our sister company “Juneau Lighthouse Tours” on this brand new customized luxurious whale watching catamaran. As our industry grows, it is no longer sustainable to build additional smaller passenger vessels for whale watching. We have taken our 3 hour whale watching tour that everyone has grown to love and paired it with the most comfortable and spacious 49 passenger vessel in Alaska. It features ultra comfortable seating with USB charging, two full bathrooms, upper and lower viewing decks, quiet proposition, heated cabins, and an incredibly smooth ride!

Wonderful

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!

Once in a Lifetime

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!

Amazing

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!

Vacation Highlight

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.
