Local Guides Who Know Every Bend in This River

Harrison Eco Tours has been running small-group boat and kayak trips out of Harrison Hot Springs for over 12 years. Our guides — including fan-favorite Captain Molly — grew up on this water, and reviewers notice: the local knowledge and easygoing guiding come up again and again. We keep groups small, boats heated and covered, and tours running rain or shine, because we'd rather show you the river than wait around for perfect weather.

The Village

Action-Packed or Blissfully Relaxed— Harrison Hot Springs Does Both

Harrison Hot Springs made its name as one of BC's original spa towns, built around a natural mineral hot spring — and it happens to sit right where the Harrison River meets one of the richest wildlife corridors in the province. Most guests end up doing a little of both.

For the Adventure Seekers

Jet boat wildlife tours, guided kayaking on Harrison Lake, Rainbow Falls by water — the version of Harrison for people who want to be out on the river, not just looking at it.

For the Relaxation Seekers

Soak in Harrison's natural hot mineral pools, book a treatment at the Resort & Spa, and unwind lakeside after a day on the water

We went for the Rainbow Falls and had an amazing time on this boat tour! The views were absolutely spectacular, and the ride itself was safe, cozy, relaxing, and enjoyable from start to finish. A special shout out to our guide Molly — she was fun, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. It was such an exciting yet peaceful time. Highly recommend!

We took the early afternoon cruise on Harrison Lake with our 20-month-old and had a wonderful time. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, with stunning views all around. Captain Molly was fantastic—very helpful and knowledgeable. She shared fun facts about the area and the local fauna. It made the trip feel more than just a sightseeing cruise, fun learning as well. Highly recommend this experience for families, even with young children!

Far exceeded all of our expectations. Booked a private tour for our group of 8. From initial calls to chat about tour options to a great time on the water and hike to Rainbow Falls, our tour guide Frank made the day memorable for all of our guests.
