If you found this page, you already know you want to go whale watching and touring the Juneau marine environment.
The question is: what options are available, and which one is best for what you want or need?
Harv & Marv’s Outback Alaska has a number of direct whale-watching competitors with operations in Juneau, Alaska. The two of us are so confident in our boats, our service, and your satisfaction that we are willing to offer a basic comparison of ourselves to the competition (complete with links!), so you can easily make the best choice for your specific needs and desires.
Pretty much all of the whale-watching boats operating out of Auke Bay have US Coast Guard licensed captains, safe boats, heated cabins, hydrophones, modern electronics, and so-forth; those things should be a given, not a companies' major marketing points. We are all looking at the same whales, porpoises, seals, and scenery. Where the companies differ is in the personalization and details of the experience the customers have.
Harv & Marv’s Outback Alaska www.harvandmarvs.com Two 30-foot six-passenger boats (one new in 2004, one new in 2005) with quiet, efficient twin Yamaha motors. Standard tour takes about three and 3/4 hours (starting at any mutually convenient time). Locally owned and operated by two long-time Juneau residents and outdoorsmen. $149.00 - includes ground transportation from downtown. $9.00 pp discount if you have 6 people.
Other Operations: There are a number of other whale-watching operations in the region. If you find one of them that suites your needs, we hope you have a safe and memorable time on the water with them, and hope you come back to Juneau again sometime to have a different but equally enjoyable time on our boats.
Compare the options, and choose what you think works best for YOU.
Two guys. Two boats. Lots to see and share. It's what we do.
