About
Have you ever wanted to travel to the North end of Harrison Lake? Allow Shoreline Tours to transport your back in time to one of the most historic and beautiful places in British Columbia.
This 10 hour trip takes our 62 foot boat the entire 74 kms to the North end of Harrison Lake. We cruise up the Lake and talk about the history of Harrison Lake, Port Douglas, and the Hydro-electric stations on the lake. As we cruise up, we point out many areas of interest. Upon Arrival to the end of the lake we see the currents of the Lilloeet River where it enters Harrison Lake. If the weather and water level is in our favor, we are able to get into the Douglas channel. On our way back we visit Doctors point, cruising to Long Island and dock in Long Island Bay to stretch our legs before enjoying a beautiful dinner and arriving back to the dock in Harrison.
Enjoy a full day on the lake with us, departing the dock at 8am we set out on our journey. You will be served breakfast, lunch, and dinner on board. All your meals and non-alcoholic beverages are included in the ticket price. We very much look forward to hosting you!
