Overview

This five-day cultural and eco-adventure immerses travellers in the soul of this storied archipelago, often called the “Canadian Galapagos.” Beginning with a flight from Vancouver to the remote island of Haida Gwaii, you’ll be warmly welcomed by local hosts at Haida House at Tllaal—your oceanfront home for four nights. Days are filled with curated excursions led by knowledgeable Haida guides: tour sacred village sites like K’uuna (Skedans), soak in natural hot springs on Gandll K’in, or discover the powerful legacy of Gwaii Haanas. Visit the renowned Kay Llnagaay Heritage Centre, meet skilled artists and carvers, or take part in a traditional weaving workshop. Between adventures, relax on a serene forested property, savour gourmet meals inspired by land and sea, and enjoy the comforts of all-inclusive hospitality. Whether you're hiking to ancient trees or sampling baked goods in a hidden village café, this journey is a rare chance to connect deeply with Haida culture, history, and nature in one of Canada’s most extraordinary destinations.

At Entire Travel Group, our focus is Independent Holiday Packages. Available daily, they are pre-designed, purpose built, packaged itineraries full of memorable experiences delivered by our hand-picked local partners.

Our holidays suit every demographic, from couples to singles, to retirees to families and everyone else in between.

Can you book my international airfares?

On some Islands Holiday Packages (e.g. Fiji), it is practical to include flights, so where we have done this it is indicated by the plane icon.

However, on the majority of our Holiday Packages, we do not include international flights.

We found that many customers may prefer to:

  • Travel on a specific airline of their choice
  • Have the flexibility to book flights with Frequent Flyer points
  • Select flight dates that may be different to our Holiday Package start/end dates
  • Use a Travel Credit already held with the airline
  • Use their travel agent for this service

We are able to assist with flights on any Holiday Package, so please just notify us during the Book Now process or contact our team.

Should I take travel insurance?

Travel insurance is strongly recommended. During the Book Now process please confirm you require assistance, and our team will be in contact with you.

What should I do before travelling?

Before you travel it is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate documentation including visas. If you are travelling on a passport other than Australian or New Zealand, you will require a permit to re-enter Australia. It is your responsibility as the traveller and/or travel booker to meet all government entry requirements.
