Haida Gwaii

Very relaxing place to visit. We received a flight to anywhere in Western Canada as a gift and we choose Haida Gwaii (specifically Sandspit and Queen Charlotte City). We stayed in Sandspit at a fishing lodge (2 star) but adequate for our sightseeing needs. We did a lot of sightseeing around Sandspit and Queen Charlotte City. Very friendly people. I would definitely recommend the place to all Ocean fishermen and women out there and any mushroom pickers as well.

I was born and had the increadible pleasure of growing up on Haida Gwaii. I can’t say enough about it’s beauty or the intense character of the people who live there. Every small town is a whole world to the people that live there. Each town has a feel that is different and unique to the next. Take rain gear and layer up. Listen to the local people and take what they say to heart. Do not assume that because you are from a larger city that you know best. Kayakers and bush people be careful this place is not for those without a good guide, emergency supplies and common sense! Enjoy the beauty and get ready to see the most gorgeous rainy place in the world.

When visiting Tow Hill, don’t miss Moon Over Naikoon Cafe.

Everything is SOOO green, very mystical. Haida Gwaii is beautiful, the smoked fishes are AMAZING. A little cold and rainy when I went, but still had a wicked time.

Nice place off the beaten track,its a destination not on the way to any where else.Its my home in the spiritual sense,I fell in love with the ocean there.Now I am a sea captain.Magic!
