Escape 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.

The adventures that entice sportsmen to simply arrive for adventures with every bit of equipment ready to go, including necessary gear and clothing for any season, are a big draw. You simply need to make your reservations and turn up on the arrival day, as your meals, entertainment and transportation each day are all set. You spend your days pursuing your activity and your nights in good company with fine food and relaxed entertainment.

Artists around the world gather to study the Haida carvings and paintings. Their distinctive colors and graphic designs are famous to students and teachers. They are discovered anew in classrooms because the artwork subjects are animals, fish and birds native to the area. More important is their role in story telling, as the people have told the old stories for generations, keeping their cultural history alive with each new group of youngsters.

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.

Historians visit to understand the ties between the British rule of the formerly named Queen Charlotte's Islands until the emergence of the ancient name for the Islands of the People. The island architecture in the larger towns still reflect the era when Great Britain was sovereign here. There are two distinct flavors that coexist, including the colonial past and the ancient traditions of the original Haida communities. These two cultures welcome guests to linger in local lodges and embrace what is available from both.

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.
