Explore The Area
Haida Gwaii is the ancestral territory of the Haida Nation. This storm battered archipelago of
150 rocky islands off British Columbia’s West Coast is tricky to access at times, which only adds
to its allure. With its diverse plant and animal life (the area is nicknamed Canada’s Galapagos),
and monumental poles and longhouses, there is something new to learn for everyone.
The islands are home to dramatic landscapes, abundant wildlife, and some of the world’s richest
heritage, home to more than 500 archeological sites. Haida Gwaii’s climate produces lush vegetation
and abundant wildlife. Eagles , Bears and groups of Sitka deer are often seen on the
grassy clearings along Highway 16.
