Homesteader We understand individuals and groups of people have different requirements, schedule and budget. This is why we offer all our services as a "tailor-made" package so you can choose what you want to do. We can arrange all your activities catered to your personal requirements and the wishes of your group.
We gladly combine activities between groups residing at our guesthouse to lower costs of chartered guided boat excursions. A holiday with us offers relaxation, great social meals, friendship, abundant sightseeing and wildlife encounters.

Why we are not like the other "guided tours"... Simply because we don't give... "tours". If
you are looking for something better then an inflexible,
scheduled, moved around like a herd of sheep; we are definitely
the alternative. Our daily activities are decided according to the
group's wishes, sea conditions, weather forecast with the advice of your local guide from the comfort of our
homestead. We strive to offer you a unique experience exploring Gwaii Haanas while sharing our unique lifestyle at our homestead. Unlike other outfitters operating in the area, you will be dealing with the owners from the moment you contact us until you leave our premises. Visiting Gwaii Haanas with us will not only be a trip of a lifetime, but also a cultural experience amongst knowledgeable local resident. We offer an ecotourism holiday at it's best in Gwaii Haanas!

Our location is only accessible by boat or floatplane. We use Beaver floatplane transportation for good reasons: Only
1 hour flight in a WARM, DRY, scenic ride from/to Queen Charlotte
village. Why
boat transportation does not pan out:
Our location is VERY remote
from “town”. Boat transportation from/to town is a
most of the day ordeal in potentially very wet and cold
conditions. It will more then likely involve pounding waves, or
worse, having to travel in very rough conditions. And you will be
listening to loud outboard engine noise the whole time... |
Where are we exactly? Hidden in a remote corner of Canada's Pacific West Coast, our location is far away from cities, roads, boat traffic and large crowds of tourists. Our guesthouse and homestead is located on Kunghit island, deep to the south in Gwaii Haanas. Kunghit Island is the largest island further south of Moresby Island. We are in a prime location to access points of interests like Ninstints, UNESCO World Heritage Site, and many other locations like Cape St-James, Woodruff Bay, Rose inlet and many others. We
are surrounded by pristine wilderness as far as you can see! Explore and discover the
region with us and benefit from
the knowledge and guidance of local guides and residents. |

Gwaii Haanas, Haida Gwaii Gwaii Haanas, meaning "Place of wonder" in the Haida language, is an ideal place to visit for sea kayakers, bird watchers, wildlife photographers and nature lovers. The complex and undisturbed ecosystem supports a large variety of fauna and wildlife. Without poisonous creatures to give you a bad day, our temperate rain forest provides a safe and relaxing environment for all, especially children. Giant trees, mosses of all shades of green and seashores bursting with life await you to discover. If you are looking for an unparalleled experience in a increasingly rare and pristine wilderness area of our planet, come and discover with us the front and back yard of Gwaii Haanas Guest House! As far as you can see, as far as you can paddle: no clear cut areas, no towns, no roads, just you and unspoiled nature to discover! |
Hop Using our rigid hull inflatable boat, the MV Rubber Duck. We offer guided day excursions to remote beaches, ancient Haida village sites like Ninstints, bird colonies, sea lion and Harbour seal rookeries, hot springs and countless scenic areas weather permitting. We also sometimes have close encounters with whales, dolphins and more unusual creatures like Sun fish or sea otters. Just let us know where you want to go and what you wish to see! Explore the area with confidence with over 25 years experience at our homestead and as a tour operator. The Rubber Duck is powered with twin 70hp, efficient and quiet 4 stroke fuel injection outboard engines. All this for increased safety, minimum pollution, noise and impact on wildlife. |

How to get to us: We are located in Rose Harbour (see map). Several airlines provide transportation including Air Canada Jazz between Vancouver and Sandspit. You can also travel from/to Prince Rupert with BC ferries or by floatplane (Inland Air). We organize floatplane transportation between our guesthouse and Queen Charlotte Village. If you are short on time, It is also possible to use floatplane transportation directly to/from Rose Harbour between Prince Rupert (Mainland) or Port Hardy (Vancouver Island) but it is rather expensive. This works best if your group is at least 4 to 6 people so the floatplane is mostly full. |
Gwaii Haanas is a powerful place. It is a grounding place. It
is unique, priceless and waiting for you. |
