The Haida name for the islands, Gwaii Haanas, translates as 'place of wonder'. During this voyage you will visit the famous, old Haida village of Nunstints, now a United Nations World Heritage Site. There are more original standing totem poles remaining here than anywhere else on the coast. The feeling and magic of seeing the totem poles still in the old village site is incredible-completely different than in a museum. You will have the unique opportunity to meet Haida elders during the trip and learn about modern Haida life. The islands are located at the edge of the continental shelf, and the surrounding waters are rich with nutrients and life. It is a wonderful area to discover different species of whales, porpoise, and sea lion breeding rookeries.
