Haida Gwaii, Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia
14 days
If Haida Gwaii is not near the top of your Pacific paddling list, it should be. The “Galapagos of the North” boasts some of the last, best remnants of the Pacific Northwest’s wild raincoasts. Gwaii Hanaas National Park’s unparalleled Eden-like mix of ancient rainforest and vibrant marine life offers a window into what the Pacific Northwest used to be. The tangible and authentic history and current genuine hospitality of the Haida Nation complete the picture.
