    “Green Coast is run by young locals who are passionate about what they do and whose philosophy is to create a collaborative wilderness adventure that is fun, flexible, and safe. Our trip brought us to ancient Haida sites, pristine beachside campsites, ancient forest walks, bountiful fishing spots and we met plenty of wildlife along the way. I’ll never forget my midnight swim under the shooting stars with glowing salmon and a seal in phosphorescent waters! My only complaint is that no amount of paddling could burn off all the delicious food. ”

  • I can’t say enough good things about Green Coast! The guides are friendly, helpful and a wealth of knowledge. They tailor the trip to each group and are passionate about sharing their love of Haida Gwaii. The food was abundant and delicious. The kayaks and gear were of excellent quality. All the details of transport and preparation were well organized. Truly a great and trustworthy company for exploring this epic area. I have never been one to use guides for my backcountry trips but I would argue their expertise was a must for safety and to maximize enjoyment and opportunities to explore hidden gems!!

    This truly was the trip of a lifetime, worth every penny, and we are so grateful to GCK for making it so incredible!!

  • My partner did extensive research on which company to paddle with and the consensus is Green Coast Kayaking. It's run by young locals who are passionate about what they do and whose philosophy is to create a collaborative wilderness adventure that is fun, flexible, and safe. Our trip brought us to ancient Haida sites, pristine beachside campsites, ancient forest walks, bountiful fishing spots and we met plenty of wildlife along the way. I'll never forget my midnight swim under the shooting stars with glowing salmon and a seal in phosphorescent waters!
    My only complaint is that no amount of paddling could burn off all the delicious food. ;)
    Thank you GCK!

Haida Gwaii

Haida Gwaii is a remote and wild archipelago off the northwestern coast of British Columbia, Canada. Here, centuries-old cedar trees hold strong against the ever-changing north Pacific Ocean, while mist and sunshine alter the landscape hourly. These 450 islands are the unceded territory of the Haida people, home to numerous endemic species of flora and fauna, and an essential breeding and feeding ground for a rich array of wildlife.
