An intimate experience with land and sea awaits those with a sense of adventure and the skills necessary for a wilderness trip. There are no roads into Gwaii Haanas – access is limited to boats and seaplanes. Visitors who come to explore Gwaii Haanas do so either as part of a guided trip, travelling with one of our licensed tour operators, or on a self-guided adventure.
Gwaii Haanas: The Living Landscapes of SG̱ang Gwaay In this episode, we’ll travel to the Pacific Northwest islands of Haida Gwaii, home to the Haida Nation for more than 13,000 years. Our focus: a collaborative archaeology project at an evacuated village on the remote island of SGang Gwaay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, that was devastated by hurricane-force winds in a 2018 storm. Many voices tell the rich history of Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and Haida Heritage Site.
