Natural Beauty, Intense Learning, Comfort and Love

Our recent small senior’s tour to Haida Gwaii! I’m still trying to wrap my head around this magical place and the strong, beautiful culture of the Haida people. The trip was a mixture of natural beauty, intense learning, comfort and love. Yes, love. We loved the Haida people and culture, their arts and history. We loved our guide, David, who knows so much and tells the stories with humility and compassion. We loved our small tour group of patient, flexible people. We were comfortable, challenged and supported at all times. This is what all small tours should be. Thanks to David and Midnight Sun!

Beautiful and Haunting

It was an enjoyable relaxing 7 days with plenty of exercise. Our guide was very familiar with Haida Gwaii and its people. I feel I came away with a good understanding of today’s culture and the history of the Haida. The landscape is very beautiful and haunting in a good way.

Really Explored the Culture and “Vibe”

We thoroughly enjoyed our small group one week trip to Haida Gwaii with Midnight Sun . Our guide David was so knowledgeable and passionate about the people and places we visited. He has cultivated great contacts with the Haida artists and locals, allowing us to really explore the culture and “vibe” of the area. The scenery and nature was spectacular! Going in a small group was very comfortable and convenient.

Great Memories of People and Places

Haida Gwaii for seniors, August 12-18, 2026. A wonderful adventure with a unique flavour! David went above and beyond in making special visiting arrangements and adjusting to unforeseen issues (which were very minor). Although some accommodation was basic, it was clean and serviceable. It’s important to book this tour with the right attitude and expectations. This adventure tour will leave you with great memories of people and places. Haida Gwaii is very special!!!

I Wasn’t Ready To Leave

Magical with Planned Spontaneity

I am not usually a group traveler. This trip met my expectations and more.
Haida Gwaii is rich in nature and Haida history and culture and David , our guide colorfully highlighted the experience with his intelligence, knowledge, curiosity, sense of humor and patience.
His love of and connection to the place and the people was infectious
Personally I wish there was an option for a 10 day trip., there was more I wanted to experience. I wasn’t ready to leave Haida Gwaii when the trip ended.

An Amazing Place!!

I experienced the wonders of Haida Gwaii in July of 2026. We had great weather and David was an excellent guide. He took us places and shared his knowledge and experiences in such a way that greatly enhanced the trip. We learned so much about the culture of the Haida. What an amazing place!!

Culture, Art and History

It was an excellent trip. The guide was very knowledgeable and knew so many of the local artists. I feel we saw many sights that if I hadn’t taken the tour I would have missed. The accommodations were very comfortable and the food was excellent. It was especially rewarding to have a dinner of the traditional Haida foods. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone that wants to see beautiful country and learn more about the culture, art and history of the Haida people.

Group Size Made All the Difference

Group size made all the difference. Midnight Sun group is max of 5 vs other tours of 12-20. This allowed access to people homes, small venues etc. David is well know and respected on the islands and this also provided excellent access and welcoming reception.

Marvellous!

Both my wife and I felt that the Midnight Sun tour of Haida G’waii (HG) was a marvellous experience. Our satisfaction is based on the unique offerings of HG and its people, but especially on the qualities of our guide, David Hopper. David has everything that one hopes for in a guide – expertise, organization, clarity and helpfulness. In addition, he is friendly, a social facilitator, flexible (both with his guests and with the uncertainties of HG life), wise in his choice of activities and attractions, and skilled in his relationships with the people on whose lives we are intruding.
We enjoyed our week in Haida Gwaii very much. The trip was a bucket list item for our 95+ active father and the tour was set up with thoughtful consideration for seeing as much as possible while respecting his capabilities. We all loved the trip and came away with a greater respect for the culture, environment, and history of the Islands. Travel was comfortable, accommodation across the various sites was clean, comfortable and suitable to our needs. We would definitely recommend Midnight Sun and will be sure to visit Haida Gwaii again.

Before the tour we were ambivalent about the somewhat high cost, but after the tour, understanding the economics of HG life and realizing how much Midnight Sun had provided, we felt that we got excellent value.
