Kayaking + Paddleboarding
Naden Harbour is more than our gateway to the world’s premier fishing grounds, it’s remote wilderness offers an unparalleled sense of peace and tranquility. Featuring prolific estuaries and a tidal range of 18-feet, this sheltered estuary environment is a sanctuary worth exploring.
For a change of pace have our staff set you up with a kayak or paddleboard to explore Naden Harbour from a different perspective.

The sense of adventure begins as you board the 737 en route to Masset, Haida Gwaii. A 15 min chopper ride lands you at the Lodge, sitting on the banks of Naden Harbor. You feel like you’ve landed in another world surrounded by water and forest.
