Queen Charlotte Islands
Perched on the edge of the Gulf of Alaska eighty miles off the coast of British Columbia (see map), the South Moresby wilderness is the most wild and remote of our kayak tours. The Queen Charlotte islands are the ancestral home of the Haida Indians who call this area Gwaii Haanas (Place of Wonder). Your sense of wonder begins with the float plane ride that carries you over these islands to the start of a week of discovery. Our kayaks give us the freedom to reach abandoned villages of the Haida people and to experience the ghostly presence of their ancient totem poles and long houses in the company of a Haida guide.
In addition to the wealth of Haida culture that is present among these islands, there is also an abundance of wildlife. Eagles, the islands' ever-present sentinels, observe our passage from their perch in a giant cedar tree. Peregrine falcons dart about the sky before diving to attack their unsuspecting prey. Immense sitka spruce tower over the darkened forest floor and remote shorelines are a beachcomber's paradise.
