The Queen Charlotte Islands, also known as Haida Gwaii, offers the greatest overall coastal journey. There is a wealth of cultural and natural history here and a chance to see wildlife and wild places at their finest. We have been sharing these magical islands with people from all parts of the world for 24 years, longer than any other operator. We have explored these islands intricately. Explore the coast by kayak, walk through towering spruce and cedar trees enveloped in moss, soak in natural hot springs, catch and barbecue salmon and halibut, visit seal and sea lion colonies, visit ancient Haida village sites with remains of poles and longhouses still standing, wander along white sand beaches and explore the intertidal zone. Join us as we watch orca, humpback whales, minke whales, dolphins and porpoises frolic in the waves, and as we sail past some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. All of this can be achieved in the spectacular Gwaii Haanas National Park (South Moresby)

We offer eight-day tours of Gwaii Haanas, and we strive to have your trip meet your personal goals, be it photography, adventure, relaxation, bird watching, art, or time with family and friends. We can take you away from the hustle of city living and transport you to a simply beautiful place where your soul will flourish.

We use our boat, the Ocean Light II, as vehicle to get you to a variety of different scenes, always stopping for the night in a safe, calm anchorage. The boat offers semi-private cabins and ample space both inside and out for your comfort. The majority of meals will be eaten on board with the exception of the occasional picnic lunch. Healthy, hearty food is served including seafood, fresh salads, fruit, home-made soups and fresh-baked breads and goodies.

We specialize in family tours and special interest groups, including artists and photographers, and can design a trip to meet any needs. Exploring Haida Gwaii aboard the Ocean Light II is an experience you will cherish for years, it is perfect for those who want a holiday, want to meet new people, want to breathe clean air, examine an ancient culture and explore a new place.
