Haida Gwaii: Island of Spirit and Beauty
- Visit Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve
- Hiking in the mystical coastal rain forests
- Explore connections between land, identity, and nature
- Wildlife watching and kayaking
- Visit ancient Haida village and community sites
A visit to Haida Gwaii offers a remarkable blend of inquiry into Indigenous cultures, Canadian history, and breathtaking nature. Explore the island through visits to ancient Haida village sites like Ninstints, where towering totem poles tell stories of resilience and tradition. Learn about the Haida Nation’s significant role in Canadian history and their ongoing cultural preservation work. Hike through lush forests, witness wildlife in Gwaii Haanas National Park, and experience the island’s powerful atmosphere. Haida Gwaii’s untouched landscapes and rich heritage make it an unforgettable program.
Dates: April, May, November
There can be more rain in April, May and November, these dates run outside of the main tourism season on the island, so it is easier to have a more in-depth experience with less crowds.
Length: 5 to 7 days on the island
This program can be combined with a Vancouver or Victoria program element to add extra days on the front or end of the visit to the island.
Cost Considerations
Even though Haida Gwaii is in Canada, the costs can add up quickly. Flights are expensive given how few there are daily and the limited number servicing the island’s airports. The type of accommodations will also greatly impact the cost of the program.

Straight Talk On Service Learning
Are you looking at adding a service learning experience into your program model?
We understand the importance of engaging students with communities through action. The problem with typical service learning is that it can create an incredible power imbalance between the host community and the visitors - often causing more harm than good. We are dedicated to changing the way service learning is thought of, planned for, and engaged in. We believe in learning service and interdependence, small changes in language that has a giant change in values and impact. Ask us more about how we are working to change the typical approach to service.
Programs Designed For Growth
Sharing in the experience adds an important layer to the design of all our Global Learning Programs. We ask every program to share their experience through blogs, video highlights and photo albums. We consolidate and transfer learning through real time engagement.
