Disappear To Another World When You Experience Adventures At A Haida Gwaii Lodge

By Ericka Marsh


In a remote place between the Pacific Ocean and the Hecate Strait, not far as the crow flies from the western coast of British Columbia, is a fascinating archipelago. Historians estimate that the culture that lives there can be found throughout history as far back as thirteen thousand years into the past. This collection of one hundred and fifty islands, or so, is home to some of the most exciting adventures one could enjoy.

The continental shelf supports this archipelago of Canada. Travelers arrive to the major ports by taking ferries or flying from Prince Rupert of Vancouver. It can include several hours to get there, but it is well worth the time. Anyone who owns a private vessel is also welcome to dock at the marinas available. Because a haida gwaii lodge often provides everything the adventurer needs for the time spent, it is easy to see why many come again and again.

Many lodges located on the archipelago cater completely to the needs of sports fishermen. They arrange for groups to arrive, and then settle in. All the clothing, gear, equipment, meals and boats are provided to match the season. Reeling in the best fish and salmon the area has fills the days with loads of fun. Whatever is caught becomes the fresh evening meal, with games and friendly talk late into the evening.

The artists who work and live there often focus on the ancient Haida arts and culture. Many students travel from around the globe to have the chance to study with them. There are workshops available, and many shops selling lovely art pieces. Raven and Eagle, two popular characters in the old tales are often featured in bold graphic jewelry and other decorative items. These are stories that have become popular in schools as people learn more about multiculturalism.

Scientists think this land is filled with organisms that benefit from its volcanic waters. Naturalists come to see the wide diversity of organisms that exist there. It is thought that the extravagant variety was spared from the cold of the Ice Age, which explains why so many birds and animals that currently live on the mainland also live there.

The main islands of Graham and Moresby anchor the central spots within the complete archipelago. Originally named for Queen Charolott during British rule, the main cities reflect the colonial architecture built during that time. But Haida culture continued to coexist alongside, so the ancient name meaning Islands of the People has come into modern use. The two distinct cultures continue, with visitors enjoying what represents each.

For photographers, there is visual adventure beyond imagination. The pristine and rocky shorelines are equally as photogenic as the formal British architecture of previous eras. A local stay allows easy access to walks along beaches and through forests, with plenty of photo worthy views everywhere.

Come to the Haida people, lodge on the distant archipelago, calm your spirit and fill yourself with new experiences. Make you reservations to disappear into its mystical and historic spaces. Before you realize it, you will be renewed.
