This special edition trip, with Canadian Geographic and the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, brings you a VIP resource person (past resource people: Wade Davis, Robert Bateman, Severn Cullis-Suzuki) and special extras.
Haida Gwaii / the Queen Charlotte Islands is a must-see destination for those who love wildlife, far-flung places and/or northwest coast First Nations culture. This cruise explores it all - from rich intertidal life to rainforests to huge whales that feed here. From hot springs to Haida village sites, including UN World Heritage Site, SGang Gwaay.
On this trip you'll have the opportunity to be personally guided on your journey by cultural expert Ilski'de (Elsie Gale). The small size of our ships means you'll have one-on-one time with our other expert guides and Haida resource people.
Elsie, a Haida textile weaver and regalia maker, is a traditionalist through and through—with a deep understanding and passion for Haida Gwaii, the Haida culture, customs, history, and arts. She has an adventurous spirit and enjoys the wilderness, the ocean, and the rich way of living these environments bestow!
Elsie has served as a Haida Gwaii Watchmen in Gwaii Haanas and now works as a cultural specialist in the spring and fall. Elsie also weaves, create arts and crafts, and shares Haida culture under the banner of Gwaii Naay Island House. Being a self-employed owner/operator, her mission is to “provide an Authentic Haida and Hospitality experience while sharing and preserving Haida culture and Haida Gwaii in a respectful way."
