An Immersive and Authentic Cultural Experience
Explore Gwaii Haanas, appropriately translating to “Islands of beauty”
Weave amongst the 138 islands that create Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Area, and Haida Heritage Site. Jointly managed by Parks Canada and the Council of Haida Nation, Gwaii Haanas encompasses roughly the southern third of Haida Gwaii, creating a refuge from industrial logging and preserving the vast ecosystem that provides for so many flora and fauna species.
For the Haida people, the boundary between earth and ocean exists only on a map. As one of the Haida Ways of Being lists out on the Haida Pledge: “everything depends on everything else” – on this trip, we hope to bring this concept to life by not only experiencing wildlife encounters and historic cultural sites, but by learning deeply about them and exploring how everything is interconnected in this spectacular archipelago.
- Unparalleled First Nations Culture. Gain a deeper understanding of the rich Haida culture by visiting historic village sites and receiving interpretation by the Haida Watchmen.
- Raise the Sails. Enjoy the steady silence as your crew unfurl the sails and set course along the coast.
- Moss Laden Forestscape. Tread lightly through the mossy undergrowth as cedars and spruce tower above, having stood sentinel in these places for millenia.
- A Birder’s Paradise. Binoculars at the ready to spot the many special winged species that call the islands of Gwaii Haanas home.
- Micro to Macro Wildlife. From the small shell home of the abalone to the metric tonne sized sea lion, Haida Gwaii offers a plethora of wildlife viewing potential.

Island Roamer
Vessel Type: Yacht
Length: 21 metres
Passenger Capacity: 16
Built: 1983
The Island Roamer is a custom 68-foot ketch, launched in 1983. The boat's design, safety and comfort make her perfect for these trips. She features 8 private cabins (double occupancy), 3 heads with hot showers, a large comfortable lounge with an extensive library, and a well-equipped galley. On deck, the large covered seating area provides protection in all types of weather. The Island Roamer is large enough for comfort, privacy and safety, and small enough to create a good rapport among passengers and crew.
