Through the Haida Heritage Centre at Kay Llnagaay we celebrate the living culture of the Haida.

Kay Llnagaay protects and fosters Haida culture by reaffirming our traditions and beliefs, encouraging artistic expression, and serving as a keeper of all that we are. Kay Llnagaay is a place for the Haida voice to be heard. The Haida Gwaii Museum opened in 1976 and continues to build an international reputation for showcasing Haida historical and contemporary art, All-Island artists and an outstanding collection of objects, artifacts and scientific material culture. The Museum is committed to encouraging and facilitating creative dialogue and exploring a more holistic and critical view of the multiple and diverse ways of understanding Haida Gwaii — home to one of the most prominent Northwest Coast First Nations cultures (Haida), and rich ecosystems in Canada.

We found we needed two visits to do justice to this amazing centre and still felt we'd love to return! We went first when we were at the beginning of our visit to Haida Gwaii and then we returned just before we left. So much to learn and experience here...not enough time. Definitely a must must must!

4. Naikoon Provincial Park

Reviewed By OnAnotherJourney - Canada, null
Please note that Naikoon is a large provincial park and that Agate Beach and Misty Meadows are well over half an hour apart. While hiking to the Pesuta is a great experience, it is much closer to Misty Meadows (Tlell area) and not within walking distance from Agate Beach. Agate Beach has oceanfront campground spaces that, while not especially private, afford you easy access to the rocky beach. Most stones are pretty smooth there though. Despite its name, this isn’t the best place to find agates. You’ll have better luck at low tide if you park at the Tow Hill Community sign on the way out to the beach and access the beach from there. Tow Hill/Blow Hole is Also a great experience. You can take either a flat trail out To Blow Hole (the viewing platform is wheelchair accessible!) or hike up to the top (2 lookouts, steep in sections). Regardless of time of year, be prepared for changing weather conditions including fierce winds and rain. Even in warmer temperatures the wind can make for a chilly beach stroll.

The road access from Masset is partially unpaved, but easy. The hiking trails are well marked, you can go all the way to the top of Tow Hill, about 1km, or you can go halfway, then track right to the blowhole, or stay on the level and just go to the blowhole . We did the whole circuit, about 3 kms, and the views from the top are worth the climb. If you can do it all, it’s very rewarding.
