Gwaii Hannas

Gwaii Haanas is a National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site. It is a remote area accessible only by boat or chartered aircraft. Our lodge is in the perfect location if you are planning a trip into Gwaii Haanas. We are the last stop on the way to the Moresby Island departure point. This park is cooperatively managed by the Government of Canada and the Council of the Haida Nation. It is a magical network of 138 islands and it stretches 90 km in length.

  

Gwaii Haanas offers a unique blend of cultural and biological features that aren’t found anywhere else in the world. To the west, mountains rise steeply. To the east, the coastline is dotted with inlets, bays and islands, while rain forest and upland bog, salmon streams, estuaries and kelp beds sustain a rich diversity of life. The relationship between the land, the sea, and the living culture of the Haida people is powerful and dynamic.

Gwaii Haanas combines rare opportunities to experience wilderness, solitude, spirituality, adventure, discovery and Haida culture. Wildlife encounters may include whales, bald eagles, colourful intertidal life, or some of the one-million seabirds nesting along the shores, as well as black bears, river otters and sea lions. Some of the vegetation and wildlife are unique to these islands.

We work with local tour operators for trips to Gwaii Haanas and can facilitate your entire trip. All trips to Gwaii Haanas via boat depart from Moresby Camp. Our lodge location is perfect for this, as we are much closer than anyone else.
