KAYAKING

  • What do I need to bring?

    Please dress for the weather – if it’s sunny out, we recommend sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat or other sun protection. If it is cloudy or rainy, we recommend a light rain jacket or weather-appropriate clothing. A water bottle is a great idea, and feel free to bring along a granola bar or power bar if you think you might need a snack on your trip.

  • Where do I meet the guide?

    For Harrison River trips, please meet your guide at our office – located inside the lobby of the Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa. Click here for directions.


  • Can I bring my kids, or is there and age limit?

    Children 12 and up are welcome on all other tours in a tandem with an adult. We do not recommend that children under the age of 16 attempt the tours in single kayaks.


    Please note: all children under 16 must have a parent or guardian with them at all times, and a signed waiver form is required for all participants. Staff may request that a parent or guardian accompany a child in a tandem kayak at their discretion.


  • Do you paddle rain or shine?

    Yes! We do. Please dress appropriately for the weather – if it is raining out, we recommend bringing a rain jacket, or other weather appropriate gear. Only in cases where the weather presents a hazard to paddlers (such as lightning or high winds) will we cancel a tour. Please see our cancellation policy above for more information.

  • Is there a weight limit for your kayaks?

    Most of our fleet is made up of Pungo 120 and 140 kayaks. There is a maximum capacity of 325 lbs / 147kg for the 120s, and 350 lbs / 159kg for the 140s. Cockpits are 22″ / 56cm wide in both models.

ECO TOURS

  • Do I need to bring anything?

    Definitely do not forget your camera! Otherwise, our boats are equipped with all safety equipment, life jackets, etc, as well as having plenty of bottled water. The boats are covered and heated, but please dress appropriately for the weather to ensure your comfort throughout the trip.

  • Where do I meet the guide?

    Once you have booked your trip, you can meet your guide at the dock directly in front of the Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa. Click here for directions.

  • What if it rains? or snows?

    Our boats are covered and heated for your comfort in all weather. The forward seating area is kept comfortable and cozy, while the back deck is open for photographic opportunities. During our Winter Eagle Watching Tours, cloudy, rainy or snowy weather provides better viewing opportunities! When skies are clear, more Eagles will be in flight up higher. With a lower cloud ceiling, most birds tend to stay lower down, within range of sight, or in the trees and on the beach where you can experience these amazing birds up close.
