Different Kinds Of Haida Gwaii Accommodations Are Available

By Katrina Wheeler


There is no insufficient provision of Haida Gwaii accommodations. Guests will discover there is an extensive diversity of options available. The summer period, extending from May to September, is the most popular season. Visitors should make their reservations for their accommodations and guided tours beforehand.

Online information is readily available about where to stay. Most of these places can be found located in local communities or on Highway 16. The highway is the primary route running north and south alongside Graham and Moresby.

The natural splendor of this region, formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands, and its pristine environment continues to lure nature lovers. The isolated 150 island archipelago is a must visit destination for many travelers. This secluded area gives visitors a break from the perennial sounds of urban living on the mainland. Here is the only area for surfing in Northern British Columbia. The leading activities guests enjoy are camping surfing, fishing and climbing in the nature reserves and protected parks.

This secluded Canadian territory is triangular in shape and the form tapers at Cape St. James on the southernmost point. It is 300 km in length and 100 km in width. This territory is located 120 km to the west of the northern coast of British Columbia. It is situated under the Alaska panhandle about 75 km from American land. The major islands are the northern Graham island and the southern Moresby island. In the southern portion of Moresby Island there is a National Park as well as a Heritage site. A brief ferry trip of approximately 20 minutes connects these two main land masses and their Indigenous communities. These communities have their own cultural reflections of the Haida living traditions.

The Indigenous people have lived in this setting for many centuries. Archaeologists have identified more than five hundred historic locations. The finest mortuary poles are said to be located in the village of SGang Gwaay. In 1981, Nan Sdins Illnagaay was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Vacationers can choose whichever method of transportation is more suitable for arriving here. Each day, BC Ferries runs a ferry between Prince Rupert and Moresby Island. The six hour 30 minute journey is both scenic and practical. Car owners can bring along their cars. Otherwise, they will need to rent a car on arrival. There is no bus service provider here. Taxis function only in the main population centers. There is daily air service from Vancouver to Sandspit and Masset. The flight to Masset only operates daily during the summer. In other seasons this transport is only available three times each week. Vacationers may fly from Prince Rupert into QC City, Masset and Sandspit. For boaters, harbor services are available at these three locations as well. Additionally, there are bus and rail links.

The diverse range of accommodation extend from campgrounds, a hostel, to lodges, motels and hotels, bed and breakfasts places, rustic cabins and beach huts, upscale cottages and guest houses. Some rentals are shut during the winter season. Campers and RVs can gain entry to most of the campgrounds.

Some areas will offer a wider range of choices. These include the town of Masset, the nearby Tow Hill community and the village of QC. The diversity of Haida Gwaii accommodations are designed to satisfy individual guest preferences without over commercialization of the pristine environment.
