Please Note: Before you visit Haida Gwaii, make sure that you take the Haida Gwaii Pledge – here
The Haida Gwaii Visitor Pledge was created to help visitors to the Islands understand how to respect and care for Haida Gwaii. With this increase of awareness, the hope is that visitors will make a more conscious effort to protect the Air, Ocean, Lands and People while visiting Haida Territories. 

This suggested itinerary features unique Haida experiences, traversing the verdant old-growth forests, dramatic coastlines and expansive beaches.

The Indigenous-owned Haida House at Tllaal provides comfortable accommodation that serves as a starting point for an immersive exploration. The tours celebrate the rich traditions, artisan skills and history of the Haida people in a lush and ancient land.
