Exciting Reasons Why You Should Take Haida Gwaii Tours

By Ida Dorsey


Earlier known as the islands of Queen Charlotte, the region of Haida Gwaii is in Canada, and is the most remote chain of islands. Haida Gwaii tours include activities broadly classified into outdoor, water based, wildlife activities and sightseeing tours. These trips appeal to anyone interested in adventure activities and also to those interested in nature and wildlife. Largely based on island activities, there are various exciting options available to enthusiasts.

Gwaii has an excellent climate and presents a range of outdoor activities. It is possible to have a tour at any time of the year. It is very easy to obtain accommodation from the tour operators themselves, or to rent some camping gear also easily available on the islands.

Lodges are also plentiful, and tourists flock there. Any equipment such as kayaks, canoes, camping gear and more can also be quickly hired. There are plenty of operators with multiple packages. Their websites provide all that one needs to know and also include stories from people who have visited as well as videos of the places.

Tour operators provide outdoor based activities like sightseeing, and of course, water based activities. Water based activities include sailing, boating, cruises, kayaking and canoeing. Water sports, surfing activities, whale watching and of course, fishing. Outdoor based activities include hiking, walking and beach combing. Sightseeing tours include wildlife viewing and visiting heritage sites. The forest trails are exquisite and covered in greenery. The walks and hikes turn out to be enchanting with a variety of flora and fauna in the region.

The islands have been largely separated from the central regions for quite some time, and this has led ecology to adapt and evolve in a manner different than that of the mainland. Wildlife in the area is brimming with sea eagles, birds, bears, goats, and sea creatures like dolphins and whales and some other rarer species. The sea animals are densely populated here, and it is debated if this area is the densest on the entire planet. Ecologists and tourists have a wonderful chance to watch wild animals in their ecological habitat.

The culture and heritage of the islands is rich with a protected United Nations heritage site which is also a naturally occurring hot spring. Numerous museums and galleries display the rich aboriginal culture of the islands. Seasonal events and festivals involving dance, theater and music with an active and thriving community keep occurring across the island.

As with accommodation, food options are also abundant in Haida. There are many restaurants, shops selling coffee and bakeries. Exquisite wineries and breweries are also present. Many lodges cater to the many tourists who arrive here. Camping sites are also plentiful. With over a hundred and fifty islands in the area, there is a lot of exploration to be done. However, just two of these islands have roads and the rest need to be visited with the help of a ferry or seaplanes.

The beautiful islands of Gwaii prove to be a prime destination for nature lovers and adventurers. Haida tours, with a plethora of activities and beauty, offer an unusual treat and exciting opportunities to wildlife appreciators, ecologists, adventure lovers and even normal people holidaying. The exotic nature and diversity of the islands makes it an enchanting destination to travel to.
