WONDROUS WILDLIFE
Often referred to as the “Galápagos of the North”, Haida Gwaii is home to different species of flora and fauna, some of which have evolved over thousands of years. The Haida Gwaii black bear or Taan in the Haida language, is the largest subspecies of black bear in North America, who over the years has developed a larger jaw and teeth from feasting on the intertidal. Zodiac excursions provide the perfect opportunity to view the larger marine mammals in their natural habitat including humpbacks, orcas, sea lions and many more! You will be sure to see many deer on the islands due to the introduction years ago of the Sitka Black Tail deer, which has no predators on Island, therefore enjoying the rich source of forest food without fear!
