July, 2008 "Harv and Marv" are great! As other posters have mentioned, their names aren't actually Harv and Marv - it's a private joke between the two owners. They are accomodating, efficient, knowledgeable and fascinating people in their own rights. "Harv's" (or was it "Marv's") brother in law picks you up a 5 minute walk from the boat. At our... more

Harv and Marv's is a fantastic whale watching experience. We had no idea how popular they were until we were lucky enough to get spots on their boat. (Book early because they are taking reservations 2 years in advance!). In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable about the area and whale behavior, they are very friendly and make sure you have... more

My wife and I were looking for the smallest boat we could find, and their 6 seater fit the bill. Unless you have a friend, this is closest you can get to having a local person take you out... Saw plenty of whales bit I wouldn't have cared if we didnt because it's such a beautiful area... They picked us... more

Recently used this company for a whale watching tour and would highly recommend using them instead of utilizing the cruise ship tours. We were a family of 6 and had the boat to ourselves along with a very pleasnt and knowledgable captain. Prices slightly less than cruise ship tours. more

We had a great time with Harv & Marv's. I received a confirmation email from Eilene a few weeks prior to my travel date, telling me the time and place to wait for the van pickup. The van arrived promptly, and Sandy (the driver and Eilene's father) was friendly and humorous. Our captain was Harv (Pete). We had a party... more

In september of 2007, we took a whale and wildlife tour with Harv and Mrv's Outback Alaska Tours. It was FANTASTIC! We saw many whales and because we were in a smaller boat, we were able to just float around in the middle of them and they would come right up to the boat. Our boat only held six people,... more

We just got back from a trip to Juneau and had reserved with Harv and Marv's. That morning, we woke to heavy fog and many of our other cruise passengers trip's were canceled. But, Harv and Marv gave us the option of going out in the fog, which all 12 of us decided to do. We took two boats and... more

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Alaska . While in Juneau we went whale watching with Harv (at least that was his name that week; the week after he said it will probably be Marv). I had made the arrangements with Eileen over the internet before we left as I had read on tripadvisor about their company.... more

Whales! Whales! Whales! I was overwhelmed and elated by this experience. It was an afternoon I will never forget. When I booked a whale watching tour, I knew we would see whales, but that a very common outcome was to see a few humps and spouts at a distance on a cloudy day. And believe me, that would have been... more
