Travel and Accommodations

Air Travel

  • Vancouver (YVR) to K’il Kun Xidgwangs Daanaay (Sandspit – YZP) with Air Canada
    • For those flying from afar, flying to Sandspit via Air Canada is your best option.
    • Requires transit from YZP to Skidegate and back via ferry so make sure to get your reservation on Gwaii Taxi who can take you to and from Daajing Giids and Skidegate! They can be reserved online or at +1 250-637-1162.
    • Plan to arrive at least a day before the event at least as flights arrive in the afternoon.
    • Plan to depart at least a day after the event ends as transit to the airport can take a time due to ferry schedules.
  • Travel to Massett with Pacific Coastal (only within BC)
    • Requires transit to Skidegate so plan accordingly!
