I chose Harv and Marvs based on their reviews here on Trip Advisor. Trust me, all these rave reviews are well deserved! I have gone whale watching 12 times or so in Alaska over the years. My number one goal was to be able to cross off bubble net feeding on my bucket list. On the morning of July 24th, 2018 I was able to do that THREE times! Captain Brandon first found a group of 6 orcas. Shortly thereafter he took us to a group of 12 humpbacks. His naturalist Drew (knowing my heart's desire) was quietly telling me "watch the birds, they are an indicator." After that things happened really quickly. Sure enough the birds swooped down and the humpbacks burst through the surface of the ocean. It was magical. We were blessed to see this another two times. Brandon and Drew were an amazing team. Brandon was continuously mindful of the rules regarding safe observing of humpbacks, e.g., distance maintained as well as time limits. Drew knew the behavior of the birds as well as the whales. He excelled at his job. As I said earlier, I have gone whale watching many times in Alaska. This was hands down the best company I have ever gone with, period!
