tour boat sinks haida gwaii

Our 54-foot motor yacht Great Bear II will be your home away from home for our 8-day tours in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve. The ship is certified by Transport Canada passenger vessel and is equipped with all the latest safety and navigation equipment. Our 18-foot hard bottomed zodiac is perfect for shore excursions, shoreline exploration, and as a platform for witnessing the spectacular carpets of intertidal sea life in Burnaby Narrows. We also carry kayaks and a row boat for guests to use in the serenity of our coastal anchorages.

FOCUS OF OUR TRIPS

Our Haida Gwaii tours in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve take us one hundred kilometers west of B.C.'s north coast, on the edge of the Pacific Continental Shelf, and to the archipelago of Haida Gwaii. Its shores bathed in warm, nutrient-rich waters, Haida Gwaii is often referred to as the Canadian Galapagos. Because the Haida First Nations People had such an abundance of food, they had time to develop one of the world's most powerful and creative cultures. The Haida culture, art, and the unique flora and fauna of B.C.'s Haida Gwaii are the main focus of our tours in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site.

VISIT THE HAIDA HERITAGE CENTRE

Our Haida Gwaii adventure tour may begin or end with a visit to the Haida Heritage Centre in Skidegate where in 2001, the Haida raised six new totem poles in a memorable ceremony at the site of Kaay llnagaay, (Sea Lions Town). This important heritage centre celebrates the living culture of the Haida people, and includes an interpretive centre, carving sheds, theatre, and art school.

SEE OLD HAIDA VILLAGE SITES AND SPEAK WITH HAIDA WATCHMEN

As we travel south aboard our motor yacht Great Bear II into Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, our tour will bring us to the old village sites of Skedans, Tahnoo, Sgang Gwaay, (a World Heritage Site), and also Gandll K'in, (Hot Springs Island). In each of these sites, Haida Watchmen will greet and share with us the life and culture of each of these awe inspiring and very spiritual places. You will be able to walk alone on trails through these old villages, and have the time to see, hear, and smell, all that makes these sacred places so special! Bring plenty of film for your camera!!

UNIQUE FLORA & FAUNA, A BIRD WATCHER'S "EDEN"

Because Haida Gwaii has been separated from the British Columbia mainland for so long and much of the land escaped the last ice age, there exist many unique and genetically different species that cannot be found anywhere else in Canada. (Even the larger Black Bears found here are genetically different from their relatives on the mainland.) Haida Gwaii are a bird watchers 'eden': you may see Tufted Puffins, Peregrine Falcons, Bald Eagles, Trumpeter Swans, Sandhill Cranes, Murrelets, Shearwaters, Cormorants, Oyster Catchers, some of which only come on land to nest in the summer and spend the rest of their lives at sea.

WHALE WATCHING

Whaling was once an important industry in the islands. Those days are thankfully long gone and the whales have returned, and the whale watching is great! While it may be possible to enjoy whale watching throughout our tour in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, we have found ourselves surrounded by large groups of as many as 50 Humpback whales along the southern islands. Additionally, we can see Fin Whales, the second largest whales on earth, Minke whales, Transient Orca and if Pacific White Sided Dolphins and Dalls Porpoises that sometimes come to play on the ship's bow wake.

A CLOSE UP OF THE PROLIFIC MARINE LIFE

A "float" through in Burnaby Narrows in the zodiac or in the kayaks with our onboard Naturalist at low tide is one of the highlights of our trips in Haida Gwaii. Below you, in the tidal channel stretches an endless carpet of sea life: tiny Bat Stars, small to huge sun stars, anemones, sea cucumbers, clams of every description, mussels, some tiny, and some the size of your hand, clinging to the seaweed drenched rocks, colourful red turban snails and huge moon snails. Hermit and rock crabs scurry along the colourful bottom looking for their next meal.
