Renamed from Queen Charlotte Islands in 2009, this captivating archipelago of over 200 islands off the northwest coast of British Columbia is sometimes called “Canada’s Galapagos.” Ancient Haida culture and abundant wildlife survive amidst magical rainforests, storm-battered beaches and pristine waters.
You will be a guest of the Haida people in their ancestral territory, where their vibrant way of life has existed since time immemorial. This tour focuses on the Haida and other Coastal First Nations, including the Tsimshian, Gitxsan and Nisga’a peoples. Highlights include ’Ksan Historical Village, Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park, Balance Rock, a picnic lunch at the beach, the Haida Heritage Centre, remains of the Golden Spruce and a delicious family-style Haida Feast.
