Hike Haida Gwaii was created to share clear, accessible information about the many hiking and beach trails across the islands. Our hope is to encourage both locals and visitors to step outside, explore the land, and enjoy the grounding, restorative experience of spending time with Mother Nature.

The landscapes and seascapes of Haida Gwaii offer endless variety โ€” forest walks, shoreline wanderings, foraging opportunities, and even camping destinations. Every trail has its own character, and every day brings a different adventure. Most of the trail information we share comes from our own experiences and from the sources that inspired this project. Haida Gwaii is always changing, and at this time, there is no single extensive resource for all its trails. We hope this site becomes a helpful starting point for curious explorers.

We do not claim perfect accuracy. Trails shift, weather changes, access points evolve. If you notice updates or new conditions, please let us know so we can keep this resource useful for everyone. Youโ€™re also welcome to share your own stories โ€” the community knowledge of Haida Gwaii is one of its greatest strengths.

We ask all hikers to take the Haida Gwaii Pledge: explore with respect, honour the land and Haida culture, and remember that we are visitors in one of the most magnificent places in the world.

Please be mindful of your personal safety and the environmental impact of your visit. We promote spending time outdoors to support health in mind, body, and spirit.

To begin your adventure, click Go Hike and explore the trails waiting for you.
