What a wonderful day we had on this tour! Hats off to Kathy, Tess, Coral, and our boat's pilot (sorry I forgot his name). The boat was comfortable, the sights were spectacular, and the enthusiasm of the crew was delightful and contagious. We visited a charming lighthouse before searching for whales. We were rewarded with sights of sea otters, eagles, and plenty of whales. Mother Nature spoiled us today! The crew was so friendly and knowledgeable and eager to share their information with us. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

This tour didn't run due to low registration but they helpfully & smoothly transferred me to another whale watching tour (no lighthouse portion) instead. We saw lots of whales and had a great time with the Harv & Marv team!

Staff was wonderful! Mac, Annie and Hannah. Fun that they would get as excited y seeing the whales, eagles and sea lions as we did. All very friendly.

We loved this excursion. The boat was very nice, well maintained and comfortable. The crew was amazing! Anika took pictures of the whales and shared with us so we could just enjoy seeing the whales in real time. We saw several whales and sea lions. Seeing the lighthouse and Mendenhall Glacier were added bonuses. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed whale watching, lighthouse exploring, glacier views and a large group of seals on the rocks during our 3 hour excursion. The Captain and crew were very knowledgeable and fun to be with while we searched for more whales. Lots of fun!

Loved the whole tour! We got to see 3 humpback whales and a calf! The staff was very nice and informative. The seats on the boat were comfortable. We got complimentary snacks and drinks while on the boat which was nice too!

5 stars from start to finish! Easy to find guide after leaving ship. Shuttle ride shared a lot of great information during drive. And our excursion was AMAZING! Captain Steven, Tess and Annie were fantastic. So grateful we saw not one but half a dozen whales. If we are ever back in Juneau we will take this tour again

Terrific, very cool tour, from pick up which was pretty easy, I had some stuff to do , running late but they were very nice to me, I did make it on time and seen the lighthouse, whales , sea lions, glaciers, they had plenty of snacks and water and some reindeer sausage. Two thumbs up

I was guaranteed a whale sighting and I got way more than I expected. The captain was amazing and interactive, and the crew members were polite and attentive. Snacks were tasty and mostly Alaska based which is a fun added touch for tourists and locals alike. To be a part of a tour group that exclusively has access to seeing the lighthouse felt special. I’m a local and it felt like a local adventure and not a tourist trap. I would 10/10 do this again, preferably with the same crew. Thank you Steven, Grace Ann, and Kris. (apologies if spelling is incorrect, I did my best)

Capt. Stephen and naturalists Tess and Alexis were so friendly and knowledgeable. They made sure we saw whales and other wildlife, and answered all questions we had. The boat was spotless and comfortable. Bus driver was friendly and pointed out many sites as we traveled to and from the docks.

Experienced captain and guide. Captain Dan and Hannah were both very knowledgeable about the wildlife we were seeing.

I cannot recommend this excursion more. It was by far the favorite of everyone in our family. It truly was one of the special moments one will take with them for the rest of their life. The crew was exceptional. The stop at Sentinel Island to see the lighthouse was like no other experience. Gorgeous untouched, flora of the island rich with trees, grasses, plants, ferns, etc. along with the lighthouse and learning about its history was truly special. Then it was time to go searching for whales. We were lucky enough to see both orcas and humpbacks. We learned so much from the knowledgeable crew about both of these whales. Professional pictures were taken by the captain and crew, and we’re given to all of us including that special shot of a humpback breaching. This truly was a day that I will never forget. If I could only do one excursion on a cruise to Alaska, this would be it …hands down.

Absolutely wonderful tour. Kaelyn, Anika and Dalton were so knowledgeable and engaging.
We were able to see orcas, sealions and humpbacks. The lighthouse is a great addition to the tour and the information graphics inside were very helpful.
Jack the driver was also great, providing us with facts as we went along and a bonus stop to see Meadenhall glacier from afar.
Snacks included sausages, rice krispie squares and nature valley bars. Both hot and cold drinks were provided, including hot chocolate.
The vessel, Polaris, was brand new and immaculate. Really comfy and an absolute pleasure.

We had an excellent trip and saw many humpback whales, seals, eagles and the lovely lighthouse. Corral, Capt John, Driver John and Emily were very knowledgeble and made it very comfortable. It was a great way to start our Alaska journey.
Amy_S, Aug 2025
The tour was very informative, we learned a lot and saw a lot. Not only did we see the lighthouse, we stopped for a view of mendenhall glacier, we saw multiple humpback whales, Stella sea lions, and eagles!

Don't dismiss your naturalist 's youth, he was sharp and entertaining. An interesting mix of history, current challenges, and ideas for next time
David_G, Aug 2025
Crew and staff were fantastic and were able to get us to an area where we saw bubble net feeding by a group of 10 whales. Just an amazing experience and the lighthouse tour was a great way to end it. Would do this again!
Larry_T, Aug 2025
Rely on your hosts to have available lots of pics. Whales especially Orkas move too fast to get a good Pic.
Nancy_C, Aug 2025
What a great experience! We were fortunate to experience a pod of Orcas. Wow! We also got to see some sea lions sunning on a buoy.
Patricia_T, Aug 2025
This was a marvelous excursion! The boat captain and the naturalists were very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw soooo many whales and many other animals - Dall's porpoise, sea lions, otters, eagles and even a black bear on the way back to the ship. I highly recommend this tour and this tour operator!

The tour covered the lighthouse, and various sightings, including whales, sea lions, and purposes as they conveniently showed up on our tour. Morgan, Coral, and Captain. Graham we’re excited and enthusiastic when we all discovered new and exciting viewings. Our guides enthusiasm made all the difference in making this a wonderful experience.!

Staff was wonderful. From our shuttle driver to the boat captain and both young ladies that was the staff. Very knowledgeable, helpful, saw plenty of whales, and other sea life. John, Cloe and Coral are all great. Highly recommend them and this tour.
