Knocking Haida Gwaii off the Bucket List

For me, Haida Gwaii had always seemed slightly out of reach as a travel destination. I imagined that it was difficult to get to, complicated to get around, and a destination reserved primarily for fishing or high-end boating expeditions. And yet, little did I know! When the opportunity finally came for my husband and I to visit Hekate’s Retreat on Haida Gwaii, we weren’t quite sure what to expect.

For starters, it was actually quite easy to get to. Air Canada has daily flights directly from Vancouver into K’il Kun (Sandspit) on Moresby Island, which is only a few minutes from Hekate’s Retreat. Not only that, but we were excited to learn that there is a year-round golf course - who would have thought?
