Map of Haida Gwaii

This is more than a map. It’s a portrait of the most remote, rugged, and rewarding coastline in British Columbia, Canada.

If you’re a waterperson in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), you already know: Haida Gwaii isn’t for the casual cruiser. This is a place where the swell builds fast, the charts get thin, and the safe anchorages are few and far between.

The west side? Big swell, deep water, and anchorages tucked in only 25 miles from the edge of the continental shelf. The east side? Shallow banks and sea states that shift faster than the forecast. From Cape St. James in the south, to Langara in the north-west, and Rose Spit in the north-east, every corner of these islands, including Gwaii Haanas, has a way of testing your seamanship.

If you’ve been out there, you get it. And if you haven’t yet, this map might be your call to go.

Designed for waterpeople

Most maps start with roads. This one starts with the sea. It highlights what matters to a waterperson: the key lighstations like Langara, and the places where character is built like Hecate Strait and Skidegate Bar. It shows the spots on the mainland side where you can stage to do the Hecate crossing. The map includes the towns where you fuel up, take on water, and check the weather like Sandspit, Daajing Giids, and Masset. The compass rose is pulled from a marine chart. The scale is in nautical miles.

This is a map made for sailing, surfing, fishing, kayaking, any and all ocean travel adventures. It's a practical and artful gift for Haida Gwaii ocean adventurers and anyone who has visited Gwaii Haanas.
