Helicopter-Access Luxury at Nimmo Bay
Deep in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest, accessible only by helicopter or seaplane, Nimmo Bay Wilderness Resort offers one of the world’s most exclusive wilderness experiences. This family-owned floating lodge provides access to 50,000 square miles of pristine wilderness while maintaining intimate luxury for just 18 guests, creating adventures limited only by imagination and weather.
Remote Floating Paradise
Nimmo Bay floats in a protected inlet surrounded by old-growth temperate rainforest and cascading waterfalls. The resort’s unique location provides immediate access to both ocean and mountain wilderness while maintaining surprising comfort. Solar panels and micro-hydro power from the waterfall create sustainable off-grid luxury, proving that remote doesn’t mean roughing it.
Intimate Wilderness Accommodations
Nine spacious cabins accommodate a maximum of 18 guests, ensuring an exclusive experience. Each cabin features handcrafted furniture, luxurious bedding, and large windows framing wilderness views. The intertidal cabins sit over the water, allowing guests to hear the rhythm of the tides, while forest cabins nestle among ancient cedars. Despite the remote location, amenities include heated floors, plush robes, and organic bath products.
Heli-Adventures Without Limits
Nimmo Bay pioneered heli-fishing and heli-hiking in the region, with helicopters included in the stay. Fly to remote rivers for fly-fishing, land on mountain glaciers for picnics, or access pristine beaches unreachable by any other means. The experienced pilots and guides ensure safe access to locations few humans have ever visited, creating truly once-in-a-lifetime experiences daily.
Ocean and Wildlife Encounters
The protected waters around Nimmo Bay teem with marine life. Guided boat trips search for whales, dolphins, sea lions, and the region’s famous spirit bears. Kayaking through calm inlets reveals eagles, herons, and often curious seals. The resort’s location along salmon migration routes means seasonal visits from grizzly bears and wolves, observed safely with expert guides.
Waterfall Wellness
The resort’s unique wellness offerings include a floating sauna and hot tub positioned to capture waterfall mist. Massage treatments take place in a cabin perched beside the waterfall, where the sound and negative ions create natural relaxation. Yoga sessions on the floating dock and forest meditation walks connect guests with the healing power of nature.
Sustainable Wilderness Luxury
Family-owned and operated, Nimmo Bay demonstrates that luxury and environmental stewardship can coexist. The resort operates entirely off-grid, sources ingredients locally (including from their own garden), and maintains a light footprint on the pristine environment. Their intimate size and thoughtful practices ensure this wilderness paradise remains unspoiled for future generations while providing uncompromising comfort today.
