PREPARING FOR YOUR HAIDA GWAII TOUR

  • What is included and what is not Included in a trip with Ocean Sound Kayaking?

Once you have decided on which Ocean Sound Kayaking tour you wish to participate on, we have outlined the next steps for you to think about.

Discover Haida Gwaii

Guests often enjoy a few extra days exploring Haida Gwaii. We strongly recommend that guests add these days prior to your kayak trip, so any “hiccups” with connecting flights or lost luggage can have time to be resolved.

Regardless of where you are travelling from, Haida Gwaii has an abundance of activities for everyone to enjoy.  Here are some useful links for your reference.

Travel Arrangements

All Haida Gwaii kayaking tours start from the community of Sandspit, BC, Canada and can be accessed by plane, train, or automobile; however, a ferry from Prince Rupert to Haida Gwaii will be will be required for those not flying directly from Vancouver, BC to Sandspit (YZP).

Accommodations

Sandspit is a small community of roughly 250 people.  We strongly recommend that guests secure their desired accommodations once you have registered on our tours, as beds can be very limited at the various B&B’s, hotels, and lodges found in town.

Travel Responsibly

The type, coverage, and cost of Travel Insurance is a personal choice.  Travel insurance has never been more important or helpful than it is today. Purchasing appropriate and adequate travel insurance will protect your travel investment and decrease stress if you are not able to travel as planned.  Medical Assistance in a remote location such as Haida Gwaii can be a very costly event.  Ocean Sound Kayaking recommends that ALL guests cover themselves properly.
