    Harv and Marv's Outback Alaska Whale Watching - Cory and Alex were a great team.

    Our whale-watching trip with Harv and Marv's Outback Alaska was absolutely incredible and easily…read moreone of the highlights of our Alaska vacation. Naturalist Dale was fantastic. He shared so much interesting information about the whales, local wildlife, and the surrounding area, and he patiently answered every question our group had. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. Captain Matt was nothing short of amazing. He seemed to know exactly where the whales would be and where they were headed next. It was almost like he was a whale whisperer--or Aquaman himself--communicating directly with them! Time and again, he positioned us perfectly for incredible views and unforgettable encounters. The small-group atmosphere made the experience feel personal and relaxed, and the crew clearly cared about both the guests and the wildlife. We saw amazing whale activity and never felt rushed. If you're visiting Juneau and considering a whale-watching excursion, don't hesitate to book with Harv and Marv's. Between Dale's expertise and Captain Matt's uncanny ability to find whales, you're in for an unforgettable adventure.

    Took a tour last year with them and wanted to repeat. While this was nowhere as fantastic as last…read moreyear it was still good. It was good enough that will book another tour on return cruise in a few days. While didn't see Orca's and it was rainy and had trouble finding whales, we did find 3 and this proves that nature is unpredictable. What earned them five stars, and an endearing place in my tiny heart, is the crew. Captain Dan was good but what made this trip for me was the naturalist Kaelyn (hope got it right). She was amazing, had a wealth of knowledge, and extremely easy to talk to. She shared the passion she has for wildlife, particularly whales, and spoke at length about their behaviors here and in Hawaii. She really is fantastic. Our boat had a small group size and surprised they didn't cancel it, very small. The crew on this trip, and my prior one last year, couldn't stop talking about the company itself, a small locally owned group which has excellent customer service, truly exceptional. They also Treat their employees like the gold they are Many thanks to them for a great tour. While didn't see as much as had hoped, and while weather didn't cooperate, it's a fantastic trip and time. They really truly take care of you.

    It's the most amazing thing I've ever done. I felt safe the entire trip start to finish. Friendly…read morestaff, comfy hoodies and you can actually drink the glacier water if you bring a water bottle. I bought one on site just before my flight. The dogsled camp was fantastic, so many happy dogs! There was a local artist that works there and sells stickers, prints and earrings which was pretty cool. Only complaint: I asked them to leave me on the glacier but they said no. Rude.

    This was by far the best excursion we did while on our trip to Alaska. I'm terrified of heights and…read moreflying but my friends talked me into doing this and thank god they did! We were picked up from the cruise port and transported to the airport where we were given special shoe coverings and shown safety videos. From there we were in the helicopter and on our way to the glacier. Our pilot Corey was amazing and spoke about different things as we were flying over them. My fear quickly faded once I saw how beautiful Alaska looked from up above and I was in front (best seat in the house). The ride itself was smooth and fun. Once we landed on the glacier we were able to walk around, take some pictures and even drink up some of the natural glacier water. (Tip: take an empty water bottle). I can't recommend this company enough. Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime experience!

    If you have limited time in Juneau, the Tram up Mouth Roberts is eye opening…read more The tram ride is slow enough to enjoy. No ear popping, it can be a little crowded, but the cool thing is your ticket is good all day and you can run up and down until the end of the day. Military discount is small, but if you have a good size group, it's worth it. There are a couple of amenities at the top. A a small cafe, a gift shop, a little auditorium that plays a movie about the history of the tram. We got up to the top. We went hiking on the small trail, but if you have it in your...you can hike up to Browns Cross and get an even better view of Juneau and the surrounding areas. And one ticket will allow you to do it early and then again later? Wow. The staff are friendly and keep things in order. They get you up pretty quickly. We had a good time, and I can see why it's a must do on Juneau lists. Recommend.

    I'm guessing our experience was better than others. The cost was much less because we booked it…read morethrough NCL. There's a $50 credit per tour that applies to the first guest through the "More at Sea" package. You'll also get Latitude Reward discounts depending on your tier. It somehow ended up costing less than $20 for both of us. It's also an all day pass, so you can go up & down as many times as you want. We were one of the first in line that morning. There were only 8 people in front of us. We watched as they were taking the staff up to the shop & resraurants. Before long, it was our turn. The tram was pretty packed with lots of standing room and very few seats. I chose to be on the outer edge with a great view. The climb is steep, and you do go straight up like an elevator for that last push to the top. To be honest, I've been on much higher gondolas (to the top of the Zugspitze near Garmisch). The Goldbelt Tram was an easy ride compared to that. I did like the commentary along the way. It was nice to hear fun facts & history as you're taking in the view of the channel and forest below. There is a gift shop, restaurant, bar, and theater as you get to the top. We opted to take on the Alpine Loop Trail early. We also made sure to stop at the Chilkat Theater to view the "Seeing Daylight" documentary. Don't miss that viewing. It's part of the whole experience. It really puts everything into perspective about the land and its people (Tlinget) who have lived here for centuries. You'll see an ongoing theme as you explore other Alaskan towns. It really ties it all together. We didn't get to try the restaurants. We thought it best to explore Downtown Juneau and the waterfront instead. It was a good decision. It was all very memorable! I'd love to do it all again.
