They are legendary for their rich First Nations Haida native culture, enchanted beauty, and World Class Fishing.

Then Queen Charlotte Safaris is the adventure for you!

WORLD CLASS FISHING

We have it all – Chinook/King Salmon, coho/silver Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, Yelloweye Rockfish, and other assorted groundfish. What separates us from other destinations is our unique geographic location. The japanese Pacific Current forces rich nutrients and schools of baitfish over the Continental Shelf into the Queen Charlotte Islands creating rich feeding grounds. The result is some of the Finest Chinook Salmon Fishing on the West Coast of beautiful British Columbia. A unique quality of the Queen Charlotte Islands is they offer “Combination Fishing” for Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, Yelloweye Rockfish and other assorted groundfish ALL summer long. Wether trolling the West Coast kelp beds for the mighty King Salmon or bouncing the bottom for Halibut, Lingcod and rockfish, we produce “World Class Fishing” results!

Three fishing vacations at Valerie’s Queen Charlotte Safaris have convinced me that EVERYONE should experience this first-class lodge at least once. Valerie is hospitable, organized and smart. The lodge is run like a family resort – warm, friendly and welcoming. Staff is superb; rooms are cabin-like and comfortable. The food is prepared by graduate chefs making each meal an adventure. And you can’t beat the company of bald eagles perched in the trees outside the lodge. Fishing boats are first rate with skilled skippers, first class tackle and personal attention and who can argue with return baggage of 150 lbs of gorgeous salmon, halibut, cod and snapper? Valerie is the best!Hanne Mintz Los Angeles, CA.

I can’t say enough about the wonderful adventures I have had over the past few years with the Queen Charlotte Safaris organization on the Queen Charlotte Islands in Canada. The whole package which includes the Salmon and Halibut fishing, seeing the wild life such as the whales – eagles – bears – deer – and the beauty of the trees and mountains are totally second to none. The lodge accommodations and the food is all 5 Star. I promise to return each and every year together with family and friends for more great adventures.Al O’Brien Tucson, AZ.
