5) See First Nations Culture first hand at Haida Gwaii
A hidden gem not because it appeals to the few rather than the many but simply because of the effort it takes to get to it, Haida Gwaii is an archipelago of islands located off the coast of British Columbia. Hailed as ‘Canada’s Galapagos’, Haida Gwaii is the home of the Haida people who, for a long time, were the most advanced and powerful of First Nations people. The unique Haida culture, in evidence across the whole of the islands in a myriad of ways, is the main draw for visitors to Haida Gwaii. With some of the world’s largest spruce and cedar trees and startling wildlife on land and in the surrounding seas, Haida Gwaii is heaven for nature lovers.
