Kayaking in the Queen Charlotte Islands

Green Coast Kayaking, Haida Gwaii, BC (Canada)



After 9 years of guiding trips and kayaking in the Queen Charlotte Islands, the land and the sea continue to gift us with new sights and understandings. We are very excited and grateful to be able to explore and witness the wonders of Gwaii Haanas with you!
Considered to be among the world's top paddling destinations, Gwaii Haanas is an irreplaceable and awe-inspiring oasis of raw wilderness situated at the southern tip of Haida Gwaii / Queen Charlotte Islands. Beyond extraordinary kayaking opportunities, Gwaii Haanas provides a rare glimpse into a world untouched by boundaries. Here, old growth forests and fresh water creeks, ancient human histories and abundant wildlife forms are constantly merging, shifting, and shaping each other.
