Potential Highlights
- Be enveloped in history and nature within the world renown Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve. Learn from Indigenous knowledge holders during shore excursions to village sites where local guides offer a warm welcome and generously share the living culture of their region through stories, artwork, and traditionally harvested food.
- Have a positive impact! As visitors, permitted by the Archipelago Management Board, we have often participated in the Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve Marine Debris Shoreline Cleanup and submitted an official report of our activities to Parks Canada. In past years, trainees have removed 7 cubic metres of plastics from Gwaii Haanas beaches simply by doing some cleanup before playing soccer or other shore activities.
- Enjoy a taste of the offshore experience mixed with calm anchorages and coastal exploration.
- Keep an eye out for north coast natural wonders, like bioluminescence, passing whales, playful otters, territorial sea lions, and an array of coastal bird species.
We acknowledge with gratitude the many First Nations whose traditional territories we sail through along the BC coast, among them the Lək̓ʷəŋən-speaking peoples (known today as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations), the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, and the Nations of the Gulf Islands, Vancouver Island, the mainland coast, and Haida Gwaii. We honour their enduring relationships with these lands and waters.
