It appears Harv & Marv and maybe Alaska Galore Tours may be related or maybe the same ???  Have similar websites that appear to offer some of the same excursions. Pics of same vessels.

They share the same mailing address: P.O. Box 32825 Juneau, AK 99803

I have read Harv & Marv many great reviews but nothing on Juneau Lighthouse Tours. If they were partners or something could assume same Juneau.

 

Thx

There are 73 registered whale-watching boats in Juneau.  They all go to the same locations and watch the same whales.  They are in constant contact with each other about where the whales are feeding.  Agonizing over whether your particular whale watching tour is better than someone else’s is pointless.  In fact, the more responsible and ethical your captain is, the less likely you to have a great whale-watching experience.  On busy ship days this year, passengers complained that there were too many boats (I heard up to ten) surrounding the whales and they never got in close to see them.  NOAA is watching carefully, especially the small boats that only take six passengers, to make sure they’re not crowding the whales and disrupting their feeding.

wolfie11 thx for the info.  It is helpful. 

 

Agonizing over one tour company being better then another is not quite what I am asking.  More so reputable / reliable operator is more what I'm asking.

They appear to have excellent reviews on other “sites”. You might expand your search to some other reliable travel review websites.
