Why Many Are Taking To Haida Gwaii Adventure Tours And Travel Packages

by Essie Osborn

Haida Gwaii is an archipelago located in the north of British Columbia, and is considered as the region's best kept secret when it comes to recreation, relaxation, fun and adventure. A mere stone's throw away from the city of Vancouver, a short two hour flight, will see you land on these beautiful islands. No wonder many have taken advantage of <A href="http://www.haidahouse.com">Haida Gwaii adventure tours and travel</A> packages that are available today.

The islands are the home of the Haida people, who also make parts of Alaska their home. First known as the Queen Charlotte Islands as named by it first surveyor Captain Dixon, it has since been renamed as Haida Gwaii, or islands of the Haida.

The island can boast of one thing, and that is it can cater to anyone. It has plenty of enough activities and sights for anyone of whatever age to enjoy. Whether one wants to go more for historical or cultural enrichment, water or land adventure activities, there will be something to be definitely enjoyed and remembered. Most would want to do a lot of hiking as is one of the most popular activities, but one should be aware that many types of transportation may be needed if one wants a complete tour of the area. One would need bikes and kayaks on one's journey through the entire archipelago.

Those who want to absorb and experience the local cultural heritage will need about four days to do so. This is about the right amount of time if one wants to visit each and every one of the communities and go through the local art stores, museums and craft shops. It is also of note to visit the many totem poles erected by the various families to highlight their own histories.

Whale watching can best be done from the vicinity of the islands and is touted as probably the best area for whale watching at close distances. Those who want to watch gray whales are best advised to do so in the months of March and April while those who are fans of the killer whale should watch these whales in the months of May to September. Humpbacks can also be seen in the area almost the whole year round.

Those who are die hard hikers will be spoilt for choice with the divers amount of hiking trails and tours available. Hiking tours are led by local tour guides and there is even a unique land and hiking tour that includes a tree climbing tour! Some would prefer to take mountain bikes to explore the area. In the end however, most like to relax and take a stroll on the expansive beaches around.

For those who do not want to much strenuous activities, there are plenty of spaces to lounge around in. There are also great fishing spots to be had along areas with great kayaking also. There is always something for anyone to do to make the trip worthwhile.

Thus for those who want something different, this little gem of British Columbia might just be the thing you are looking for. The weather is great all year round with not so cold winters and not so hot summers. Perhaps now is a good time to pack your bags and head on towards Haida Gwaii!
