Our Islands

Canada's most remote archipelago Haida Gwaii (Islands of the People) or recently referred to as the Queen Charlotte Islands, is an energizing place steeped in culture with unique natural endowments.

Whether you enjoy an active sportsfishing holiday, exploring and learning about the Islands history and culture or prefer to get away and enjoy our peaceful solitudes, along vast sandy beaches or in ancient First Nations Villages the Queen Charlotte Islands offer an unforgettable experience for anyone who visits.

Situated north of Vancouver and west of Prince Rupert the Islands are well connected to mainland British Columbia, through daily scheduled air service and with BC Ferries which operates a vehicle and passenger ferry service year round.

Highlights of any trip to the Islands, your visit may include a trip into the Gwaii Haanas National Park and Haida Protected Area recently named the best National Park in North America, or the opportunity to catch one of the many species of Salmon or other sport fish plentiful in the waters all around the Islands.

Whatever your preferences, the Islands offer endless opportunities to discover or relax in safe and natural surroundings. A unique experience awaits, come and discover the Islands!
