We would like to invite you to explore our corner of the world nestled deep within Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site.  Hidden in a remote corner of Canada's Pacific West Coast, the area is far away from cities, roads, boat traffic and large crowds of tourists.
Located on Haida Gwaii, Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site offers pristine wilderness at its best!  Explore and discover the region with us and benefit from the knowledge and guidance provided by our local guides and residents.  Our homestead and guesthouse offer rustic, comfortable accommodations, wholesome nutritious meals, kayak rental and guided boat excursions deep within Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site, Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada.

Activities and transportation

We provide many other services besides comfortable accommodation and delicious meals.  If you feel bold and adventurous, we also organize activities such as:

Our rigid hull inflatable guided boat tours offers excursions to remote beaches, ancient Haida village sites, bird colonies, sea lion and Harbour seal rookeries, hot springs and countless scenic areas are offered, weather permitting.  Just let us know where you want to go and what you wish to see!  Explore the area with confidence with your guide and owner Patrick with over 25 years experience in the area.  Our website will give you many ideas and suggestions of what to see in the area.

Our beachfront location gives easy access to sheltered or open waters for beginner and advanced sea kayak paddlers alike.  Our boat is powered with tandem (2) efficient and quiet 4 stroke fuel injection outboard engines for increased safety, minimum pollution, noise and impact on wildlife.

Homesteader hospitality:

We understand that 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.

Our activities are organized with your requirements and weather conditions in mind, not some inflexible schedule like a large group being herd around in a predetermined tourist circuit.  Who wants to be out there when there is stormy and unsafe weather conditions?  Just kick back and relax at the guesthouse and enjoy peace and quiet by the wood stove until the weather improves!  With us, you can pick a nice day to explore the area!

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.

With our extensive knowledge of the area, we always do our best to give you the opportunity to see and hear the life forces at work in our corner of the Earth.  Enjoy these precious moments to connect  with nature while relaxing in its surroundings.  Join us and partake in the circle of life revolving around ancient forests, 10,000 years of aboriginal history and a pristine ocean ecosystem.  Gwaii Haanas has changed many visitors' outlook on the importance of preserving our dwindling worldwide ecosystems.  We will do our best so you will be part of it all!  Become one with us and Gwaii Haanas.
