Haida Gwaii and Gwaii Haanas

A trip of a lifetime where we explored Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Area Reserve, and Haida Heritage Site via zodiac to learn about the depth of history and culture while experiencing the natural beauty of the area. Then on to Graham Island for long walks to Pesuta Shipwreck, along the beach to Tow Hill, and the endless northernmost beach. Only a sampling…
