Celebrating 25th year in business

Fishing has been fair to good this past week, although most of our boats are now put away for the winter we are still operating fishing charters out of Mission and Harrison Hot Springs. Our Jet boat tours are focusing on Eagle Tours as we are having a record year for Harrison River Eagle migration. We are operating two twin engine jet boats with a capacity of 20 passengers so we can accommodate single passengers to larger corporate or family groups. We offer up to 3 charters a day, please call the office for times.

The weather for the next week looks great for both Fishing and Eagle watching. The cost for Eagle watching tours is $69 per person for 1 ½ hour tour, guided fishing charters are available in 4,6 or 8 hour increments.
