Escape the Ordinary: Celebrate the Holidays on the Harrison River
Every year, the calendar fills with Christmas parties and office celebrations that start to blend together. The same venues, the same small talk. It can feel like the holidays have lost a bit of their magic.
This year, choose something different. Step away from the noise of the city and spend your celebration surrounded by the raw beauty of British Columbia. Picture snow-capped peaks in the distance, bald eagles gliding overhead, and the views of the Harrison.
Step Aboard The Mackennedi: Luxury on the Water
When you step aboard The Mackennedi, our custom-built luxury pontoon, everything is ready. The fireplace is warm, the music is playing, and it’s fully decorated for the season. You arrive, and your celebration begins.
Stress-Free Corporate Holiday Events
If you’re planning a company holiday event, you know how much work it can be, choosing a venue, organizing food, decorations, and schedules… It can take the joy away from the celebration. This year, leave the planning to us. A private Christmas party on the Harrison River with us is simple, and exactly the kind of event people look forward to.
Everything is ready the moment you arrive. The cabin is warm, the fireplace is on, and the boat is fully decorated. Your team can unwind, roast s’mores, and take in the scenery as you cruise through some of the most beautiful river landscapes in British Columbia. The moment you step on board, the work is done. All that’s left is to relax and celebrate with your team in a way they’ll actually remember.
Perfect for Families
For families, the holidays are full of prep and hosting before anyone can actually enjoy themselves. A gathering on the water changes that. There is no setup, no cleanup, and no long checklist. You bring the people, and everything else is taken care of. Children can watch for eagles, grandparents can stay warm by the fire, and everyone can share time together while the boat tours through the valley. You can bring your own food and drinks or let us help you arrange catering from local partners. Every detail is handled so you can simply enjoy time together.
Winter on the river is a special time. With fewer boats around and the landscape quiet and untouched, the Harrison River feels almost private. A private pontoon charter can take you past forested bends and hidden beaches, up the Harrison River where hundreds of bald eagles gather in the colder months. The pace is relaxed, but the experience is full of adventure, and moments you’ll remember long after the holidays.
Designed for Comfort and Adventure
The Mackennedi was designed for active, comfortable exploration. The enclosed cabin is heated, the fireplace is ready, and there is room for up to twelve guests. Celebrating on the water turns ordinary gatherings into shared experiences. We promise, everyone will leave with something to talk about at the end of the trip. For companies, it’s a chance to reward your team with something unique. For families, it’s a day spent together, moving, exploring, and connecting in a way that feels active and memorable rather than staged or rushed.
Our winter tours operate from Harrison Hot Springs, a short drive from Chilliwack, Mission, and the Fraser Valley. Boarding is easy, with flexible departure times and on-site parking. Once on board, you can pick your route, explore the Fraser or Harrison Rivers, and customize your tour to match your group’s interests, from our classic 3-hour holiday tour to a world class fishing charter with sturgeon fishing.
At the end of the day, the best memories are the ones made together. A holiday tour on the river gives you the best ones yet!
