Haida Gwaii Adventure Tours And Travel

Haida Gwaii Adventure Tours And Travel

by Tonia Merritt

Visitors planning an itinerary for Haida Gwaii adventure tours and travel can easily spend the entire week exploring the waters and the amazing world beneath. The entire stay could also be spent on land, discovering both manmade as well as natural wonders. A flexible tour itinerary can be comprised of elements from both aquatic and terra firma plans. Here's a look at all such components that go into making this visit an adventure to remember.

There are 138 islands in this archipelago located 62 miles offshore from the BC mainland. The Island of Graham is the commercial base, offering the best Haida Gwaii accommodations in and around communities such as Masset and Queen Charlotte. The Island of Moresby is the preferred choice for national park visitors, since it is home to the magnificent Gwaii Haanas National Park.

Queen Charlotte's name was etched out when these islands were renamed as the "islands of the people". It hasn't much changed the fact that this is still an outdoor paradise. Visitors can expect to come face to face with the largest species of black bear in the world, and test their survival skills and strength in many ways and places where nature is still the predominant force.

Tourists on boat cruises can see eye-to-eye with migrating whales and tens of thousands of nesting seabirds. Adrenaline junkies can navigate kayaks through raging waters or go deep-sea sport fishing. On land, they can head out for a grueling trek through the rain-forest.

An adventurer who prefers to go solo can always pick up a map and hit the gas on Highway 16 as it winds its way past all the communities on both Graham and Moresby. This might, however, not be as easy as it sounds given that the total land-mass on this archipelago covers 3,931 square miles. It would be a whole lot easier to be led by a guide who knows the attractions and activities that visitors like and can safely indulge in.

A charter boat can be booked for fishing expeditions. It's also possible to book fishing lodges on one of the smaller islands, which are usually desolate apart from a boat ramp and the lodge. Local nature experts who double as tour guides can lead visitors on nature trails and bird-watching expeditions. Many will take a group camping for a week, engaging them with kayaks and surfboards, hikes, beaches, tree-climbing and so on.

The Gwaii Haanas National Park presents a unique challenge. This tour starts from Cumshewa Inlet and heads south, or heads north after starting from at Ninstints aka SGaang Gwaay at the other end. Along the way, visitors will experience a thrilling week in the outdoors where they must fish for food, hike and use kayaks to move forward. It also provides opportunities for nature exploration and an up-close look at ancient Haida heritage sites.

All said and done, <A href="http://www.haidahouse.com">Haida Gwaii adventure tours and travel</A> offer visitors a rare opportunity to get away from modernity and rediscover the simplicity and pleasure of life in the outdoors. But this is no ordinary camping trip, so be prepared for a wild patch of land and sea as yet untamed by man in North America. The best part is that it's not necessary to fly half-way around the world to find this adventure.
