Why Many Are Taking To Haida Gwaii Adventure Tours And Travel Packages

By Essie Osborn


One of the best kept secrets to wind down and relax, and have a bit of adventure too, exists in the northern coast of British Columbia. The place is called Haida Gwaii, and is an archipelago that is just a two hour plane ride away from Vancouver. Due to its near location, many have started to discover and enjoy this hidden travel wonder through many Haida Gwaii adventure tours and travel packages available today.

Inhabited by the Haida people, who also inhabit significant parts of Alaska, the islands were first named as the Queen Charlotte islands by a certain Captain Dixon, which is ironically also the name of his ship. With respect to the original inhabitants, the isles are now named Haida Gwaii, which means Islands of the Haida People.

The island can boast of one thing, and that is it can cater to anyone. It has plenty of enough activities and sights for anyone of whatever age to enjoy. Whether one wants to go more for historical or cultural enrichment, water or land adventure activities, there will be something to be definitely enjoyed and remembered. Most would want to do a lot of hiking as is one of the most popular activities, but one should be aware that many types of transportation may be needed if one wants a complete tour of the area. One would need bikes and kayaks on one's journey through the entire archipelago.

For the culturally inclined, it would take about four days to go through all the local communities and to absorb the local culture and heritage. Many experiences can be had by going through the local workshops of bent wood furniture and such as well as visits to the many totem poles that are historical records of various families in the islands.

Whale watching can best be done from the vicinity of the islands and is touted as probably the best area for whale watching at close distances. Those who want to watch gray whales are best advised to do so in the months of March and April while those who are fans of the killer whale should watch these whales in the months of May to September. Humpbacks can also be seen in the area almost the whole year round.

Those who prefer a land adventure would be pleased to know that there are quite a lot of hiking trails available as well as guided tours. One of these guided tours is quite unique in that it provides a tree climbing experience. Most people at the end of a long hike enjoy the serenity of the surrounding beaches to chill out and yet others take to biking and exploring the island on mountain bikes.

For those who would like to do something less physical, there are plenty of places for fishing around the kayaking routes. There are also plenty of places to just chill out and lounge. There is definitely something for anyone regardless of physical prowess or bent.

There is no best time to visit this hidden secret of British Columbia, in fact anytime is the best time for winters are not so cold and summers are fairly temperate. In fact anytime is a good time. So pack your bags and enjoy what many others have enjoyed before you and charter your next tour and travel package to Haida Gwaii.
