When going camping (or in our audience’s case, glamping) you’re often looking to escape society and connect with nature. One of the most revered destinations in B.C. (and the world) is the Haida Gwaii archipelago, found far north of Vancouver Island. This tiny group of islands is an unparalleled blend of raw, untouched wilderness and profound cultural heritage. It offers a sanctuary of ancient rainforests, dramatic coastlines, and abundant wildlife, resulting in a truly immersive escape from the everyday…
But after a 17-hour drive and an 8-hour ferry ride to Haida Gwaii, you might have an urge to make some new friends to share the experience with. (Or if you must skip the incredibly scenic drive, you can book a one hour and 40 minute flight from Vancouver International Airport to Sandspit Airport)
If you do get the itch for human connection while visiting, this is where Haida Gwaii Glamping Co’s 860 sq. ft. geodesic “social” dome comes to the rescue. Open to all guests (including the canine variety) the dome is a communal space for interaction, relaxation, and culinary action.
Picture a spacious dome bathed in natural light, filled with unique furnishings and comfortable seating. Here, guests can gather to unwind after a day of exploration, perhaps sharing stories, enjoying music, or playing board games. The dome also provides a social sanctuary during stormy moments.
Meal times within the social dome become festive affairs, fostering a sense of community as travelers dine together, savoring delicious, usually locally-sourced cuisine. And the kitchen is fully stocked with equipement and utensils to ensure your local veggies and seafood can be prepared to your liking (with fresh herbs picked from the garden) It’s also where you’ll find their complimentary breakfast and all-day tea and coffee.
You also wondering about Haida Gwaii Glamping Co’s accommodations? They range from luxurious beach front or rain forrest tents with ensuite bathrooms and private decks, all designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing creature comfort. Outdoor amenities include a cedar hot tub, barrel sauna, and ice bath and a variety of on-site activties.
