Harv and Marv's Minimum Age Policy

Dear Prospective Passengers:

We would like to explain and assure you we are not wanting to discriminate or
alienate anyone from our tours. To the contrary, we would love to show our
piece of Alaska with everyone, young and old alike.  But from past experiences
we have been put in the awkward position of having to implement this minimum
age policy.

By design our company is one of the smallest Whale Watching Companies in
Juneau.  Most of our boats carry 6 or less passengers, offering an intimate and
personal setting for our passengers. I personally have been providing these
tours for over nine years now. Over this time and on numerous occasions I
have had the unfortunate experience of children ruining the experience for
others, jeopardizing the entire tour and even shortening the length of our tour.  
As you can imagine this is an uncomfortable situation for everyone involved.
In response to these unfortunate events we have implemented our minimum
age policy that restricts children under the age of 13, unless a Private Tour is
booked.

This policy has been implemented to maintain the quality of service to all of our
passengers and
not to discriminate against children. Our Goal for each and
every tour is to make it the most enjoyable and positive experience for all.

We have looked into some alternatives and options but until we are able to
offer an alternative we will adhere to this policy.  We truly apologize for any
inconvenience or disappointment this may cause.

If you do have children under the age of 13, here are a couple other companies
that do a great job and offer child discounts:
