All-Inclusive Tours

Haida Gwaii Discovery Tours offers a unique opportunity to participate in a 6-day 5-night discovery tour of Haida Gwaii.

Similar to tours offered in the past by Natural History Societies these tours are based out of comfortable accommodations in the Villages of Masset and Queen Charlotte and involve daylong excursions to areas of interest around the Islands exploring the natural, cultural and settlement history of the Islands. Experienced local guides in conjunction with expert local guest speakers allow visitors to learn about this unique area and leave with a broader understanding of the conditions that make this a truly special place.

Tours are limited to 15 participants and cover most of the Islands major stops and points of interest, including many lesser known local areas.
