by Sharron Cantu

As time goes by, many interesting places get discovered by people for them to have vacations at. Lately there has been a growing trend in visiting the islands of Haida Gwaii off the north coast of British Columbia. Many have booked plenty of <A href="http://www.haidahouse.com">Haida Gwaii adventure tours and travel</A> packages for themselves and their families.

As Haida Gwaii is an archipelago, or rather a group of islands, then there will be plenty of water related fun and activities to be had. Most popular activities in the island would most likely involve those with whale watching and whale sightseeing tours.

Depending on the month or season, one will be able to see a variety of whale species up close when taking a whale watching tour. Species one will most likely see are orcas or killer whales, humpbacks and gray whales. On rare occasions all these species can be seen together in one spot.

Plenty can be done on the islands as well. There is plenty of hiking and camping to be had, and a bit of mountain biking as well on the many trails found in the islands. And fishermen will find plenty to do In the many streams that also are full of kayaking possibilities. Many more experienced travelers actually do the hiking and mountain biking in the morning, and spend the later half of the day soaking up the sand on the beaches and just relax until the sun goes down.

Should one want to learn more about the local culture and populace as well, there is always plenty of things to do and partake in. The Haida are a very friendly people and are more than happy to share their history and culture with you. To make things more interesting perhaps you should also read into their local culture and traditions before you make the trip, so you can avoid the most common and embarrassing questions that a tourist would ask any local.

Quite a few totem poles are erected on the islands in groups. They are actually carved historical records of each of the families that have lived on the islands. A well travelled tourist will find very similar designs on the totems as those found in totems near and around the Alaskan regions. This is because the Haida are a very prolific people and are also found in those places.

Should one really want to immerse fully in the local culture by visiting each and every community on the islands, the trip will roughly take around four days or so to complete. While doing so you can also accentuate your experience by visiting the various crafts workshops and museums that dot the islands. Here you will notice the beginnings and origins of the bent wood technique that is very much a specialty and characteristic of the Haida and many related people.

This archipelago of adventure can be easily reached by plane from Toronto, which is only a two hour flight. One can also reach the place via boat or ferry which may take a little longer but can be exciting and worthwhile nonetheless. Whether by boat or plane, this is one place that can also be enjoyed not only by individuals but groups and families as well.
