I am planning an Alaska trip for my family & friends and I've been more than impressed with Callie and the help she has offered to assist in our upcoming whale watching and fishing excursions. She's quick to respond to email, she offers loads of information and has gone above and beyond what one would expect in planning an outing.... More

I have to say that this was a great, great tour! We had Captain Lewis and Captain 'T' who was in training. We were early in the season and the day and you know how wildlife can be....elusive. However, we managed to see some great humpbacks and when we saw porpoises, the captain started turning the boat around and getting... More

Cruised on Carnival and scheduled Harv & Marv's on May 11, 2013. I cannot say enough about Harv & Marv's. Especially Captain Shawn. He was so informative and seemed to be just as excited as all of us to see whales! He made it so exciting. Everything went so smoothly, from the time they picked us up at the dock... More

We took a cruise aboard Holland American and the shore excursion that I had originally wanted to go on was booked. So, I searched Trip Advisor & found Harv & Marv's. The reviews were good, so thought that I would try to book it one week out. Everyone that I dealt with was fantastic. Quick response from Callie. Great directions... More

My husband, mother, brother and I booked a whale watching tour for our Juneau stop last week (May 7, 2013) while visiting Alaska on HAL's Zaandam. Our cruise ship was over 2 hours late getting into port so we arrived at 2:30 when our tour was booked for 12:30. All the staff at Harv and Marvs were wonderful and reassured... More

Last June, I booked the M/V Alaskan with Harv and Marv for our multigenerational family's port day in Juneau, and what a magnificent private tour we had! Though this wasn't our first whale watching tour, it was one of our best experiences. Captain Shawn was in radio contact with other boats and he quickly guided us to see some nearby... More

I am a little late posting this review. My husband and I and 5 other friends took a Holland America Alaskan cruise last fall. Actually, our cruise was the last of the season and we were in Juneau about 9/24/12. Instead of booking thru the cruise line we booked a whale watch tour with Harv and Marv's. We had 7... More

Pre excursion service has been outstanding. Callie works hard to ensure that you get the best boat for your excursion by learning about your party etc. She was helpful in suggesting ways to maximize our time in port but working with another vendor to arrange an alternate pick up location so we could fit in two desired excursions.

Awesome few hours out on small boat with Captain Steve and a couple from Ontario. Saw seals and approximately 20 humpback whales. Experience of a life time! They take care of you from the moment they pick you up at your ship. Snacks on boat and trip back to ship stopped at Mendenhall Glacier. Perfect day.

Fabulous whale watching cruise for our family of 4. We chose the semi-private option, because we wanted a more intimate experience on a smaller ship. We had 1 other couple with us, for total of 6 people, plus the captain. We were able to get up close to many whale pods, plus saw a lot of other sealife. Our captain,... More
