Haida Gwaii Episode 3: Culture‑Infused Explorations You’ll Remember


Listen Later

In this episode we talk about a vacation reimagined: one surrounded by culture, meaning, and wilderness beauty. Shelly Sansom, founder of Ocean Edge Expeditions, describes how she built guest experiences that blend meals in Haida elder homes, guided forest hikes, paddleboarding adventures, and visits to artist studios.

What sets these journeys apart is their commitment to connection—each activity is intentionally chosen to foster relationship, curiosity, and reflection. Guests often speak of leaving with peace, clarity, and a deeper connection to both Haida heritage and their own identity.


It's not just a trip—it’s a culturally rooted experience that nourishes the heart and mind, while celebrating Haida tradition and natural splendor.
