Gwaii Haanas
Water Taxi Service
Because of the vast size of the Gwaii Haanas area, most kayakers choose to get dropped off and/or picked up by our high-speed Zodiacs, which can transport you and your kayaks deep into Gwaii Haanas to make the most of your paddling time. We are also happy to provide marine transportation services for purposes other than kayaking.
We travel on fast, stable Hurricane Zodiac boats, which are perfectly suited to the variable weather and sea conditions around Haida Gwaii. These vessels are open to the elements, which means you must dress in warm clothing and rain gear. We provide an additional raincoat to throw on over your layers, but it is also essential to have your own warm clothing. The ride can be bumpy at times, and discussing any health or fitness concerns (such as back problems) with us before booking is very important.
