start exploring
Haida Gwaii is an ideal destination to experience the rugged and remote wilderness that Northern British Columbia is known for. Accommodation varies from rustic off-grid beach cabins to modern and natural lodges, and extraordinary camping in old growth forests or on the beach. All accommodation is small scale and intimate. Each time you book you are talking with an owner who cares passionately about the quality of your experience.

stay grounded
There are no malls, fast food franchises or large hotels on Haida Gwaii. Cell service is often spotty outside of each community. Here we live slowly, at a pace that is rich with unique experiences. The winter season is full of concerts, artisan fairs, coffee houses and events across the island. Locals reconnect and plan for high season visitors in the summer, but love to see new faces all year long.
Attractions
One way to think of Haida Gwaii is as a village of 4,500 hardy, unique characters who live in seven towns spread across the Islands. The ocean and the forest are our front and backyards, the ferries are our connection to the mainland, and our local businesses are where we meet and support our friends. Come and enjoy this archipelago with us.
