What Makes Haida Gwaii Adventure Tours And Travel Stand Out

By Jennie Sandoval


Tourism can be of different kinds. For those who love escapades and exploration, then the Haida Gwaii adventure tours and travel would be a great idea. The Islands, formerly known as Queen Charlotte, have various people visiting from all parts of the world. Visitors will be treated to thrilling experiences from several activities popular in this Island.

The major activity that you would expect to take part in is Kayaking. This would of course be more suited to people with previous experience. However, it is possible to get courses from some centers that train you on the basics required to help you navigate your craft. It is important that you are confident and attain a sense of balance while in water.

While kayaking, you get the opportunity to see some of the rarest species of plants and animals that are found along and in the ocean. The beautiful sea view also provides several unique shots for photographers. A kayaking trip may be done on a daily basis. An alternative is to arrange for a week long trip that allows you to enjoy all that the sea has to offer non-stop.

If you do not love the water that much, you can sign up for a hiking experience instead. These are available on a daily or hourly basis. They can be as short as three hours long and they give you the opportunity to go through the different trails found within the villages. Fishing in these islands is done for both commercial and fun purposes. It is therefore easy to learn all about it. This is very relaxing, since it is about setting traps and waiting for your prey to be caught.

The Islands have plenty of open spaces that are suitable for setting up camps. If you love camping, you will definitely enjoy the experience here. Of importance is to have some survival skills before you attempt this. While camping you can go for walks through the woods and get an opportunity to enjoy the landscape which affords a variety of views at different times of the day. This helps you forget about the pressures of your normal life as you can take time and meditate.

The Islands are the best places for surfing. Many people now prefer surfing during winter as the waves are fiercer then. Boat tours can also be taken. This allows one to experience firsthand the difference between natural and cultural aspects of the islands. These tours provide the opportunity to watch whales as they course through the waters. This is a magnificent experience.

Other types of wildlife that can be found at the islands are over 100 species of birds. These are viewed at different times of the year. Whales and sea birds are also very common due to the plenty fish found in the ocean. In addition, golf courses are available for those who love golfing.

The locals of these islands have really tried to preserve their culture and thus learning about their history is always fulfilling. Their artwork is shown at their museums. This is mostly work inspired by the surrounding landscape and beautiful sea view. All these make the idea of taking the Haida Gwaii adventure tours and travel very appealing.
