Queen Charlotte Safaris lodge overlooking Shingle Bay in Sandspit, Haida Gwaii, with fishing boat anchored offshore
HAIDA GWAII

The lodge overlooks Shingle Bay. The salmon pass through on their way north.

Sandspit is ten minutes from the airport. Chinook, Coho, and Halibut in generous limits. Chef-prepared dinners while you tell fish stories.

WHAT YOU'LL FISH FOR

Most guides won't tell you when the run is thin

The archipelago's geography means salmon arrive in waves. We know exactly when each species peaks and adjust your week accordingly.

Chinook salmon

The biggest fight in Haida Gwaii waters. Generous limits mean you'll have time to land multiple fish.

Aggressive and acrobatic. They arrive in waves throughout the season, keeping your lines tight.

WHAT GUESTS SAY

Over a decade of returning anglers

People come back to Haida Gwaii because the fishing is real, the lodge is honest, and the experience sticks with you.

Caught my biggest Chinook ever. The guides know exactly where the fish are, and the lodge feels like home after the first night.

My son caught his first Coho here. Now he asks when we're going back every single month. That tells you everything.

Twelve hours of actual fishing. Not drive time, not filler. Just the water, the boat, and fish that actually bite.

HOW WE STARTED

How did a Newark outfit end up running one of the quietest fishing lodges in the Pacific Northwest?

Because the salmon don't care where your office is. What they care about is Haida Gwaii. We built Queen Charlotte Safaris around a simple idea: bring people to the fish, not the other way around. The lodge overlooks Shingle Bay in Sandspit. The chef waits for your catch. Everything else follows from that.
