Kayaking Tours in Haida Gwaii

Explore the rugged beauty of Haida Gwaii by kayak, where every paddle stroke brings you closer to the islands’ stunning landscapes and rich marine life. Our flexible kayaking adventures offer something for everyone, from calm paddles near the shore to extended day trips and overnight expeditions. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced paddler, we can tailor the perfect experience for you based on your interests, skill level, and the conditions at hand.

Customizable Tours

Our kayaking tours are designed to be as flexible as your adventure spirit allows. If you’re looking to explore the waters just out front of Gould’s Beach House, we can guide you on a serene paddle along the coastline. For those wanting more, we offer day trips launching directly from the house to explore nearby islands, bays, and secluded beaches. Overnight trips are available for the truly adventurous, where you’ll experience the island’s untouched wilderness up close and camp under the stars.

We customize every tour to your specific needs, whether you prefer a laid-back journey through calmer waters or something more challenging. Conditions can change quickly, but with our experienced guides, you’ll always be in good hands.

Kayak Rentals & Independent Expeditions

For those who prefer to paddle solo, we offer kayak rentals that allow you to embark on your own adventure. Whether you want to explore the nearby inlets or plan a multi-day expedition, we provide high-quality equipment and all the local knowledge you need for a safe and unforgettable experience.
