Mystical islands with a rich cultural history

Update for Summer 2020 Travel: As of July 2020, Haida Gwaii remains closed to non-essential and leisure travel. For more information on responsible travel and Indigenous experiences, please visit the Indigenous Tourism BC website.

This remote and rugged archipelago is steeped in the ancient culture of the Haida First Nation. Here old-growth rainforest is surrounded by a rich marine environment, both home to unique subspecies found only on these magical islands. Gwaii Haanas, a highly protected area overseen jointly by Parks Canada and the Haida Nation, is home to extraordinary natural scenery and cultural treasures, including ancient totems that are slowly decaying and being reclaimed by the land.
