HAANAS

We’re delighted you’ve found us! We are a small, family-operated business specializing in relaxed, classy, fun boat tours into Gwaii Haanas. Our tours benefit from local knowledge and passion, and our business benefits the islands’ economy because Haida Gwaii is our home.

Our captains are all local residents with extensive experience navigating and exploring Gwaii Haanas and Haida Gwaii. Gwaii Haanas is our front yard. Let us share the special spots that a lifetime of exploration has uncovered.

Please join us for a tour – we are excited to share the magic of our home with you. We specialize in smaller boat tours (up to 6 guests per trip) and carry six Seaward kayaks for guests to explore the less accessible nooks and crannies of Gwaii Haanas. 

Our tours are for people who want to learn, participate, laugh, and discover an extraordinary corner of the world. We hope to meet you here!
