“I fell in love with Nimmo Bay on first

sight. It is a place of serene beauty,

family and friendship. What better venue

to celebrate the „Boston Legal‟ series,

and especially the friendship of Alan Shore

and Denny Crane, than beautiful B.C.”

David Kelley, David E. Kelley Productions

Heli-fishing: the angling odyssey

Heli-fishing is for everyone who wants to participate in

the most remarkable sports fishing adventure of a

lifetime.

Over 30,000 square miles of prime wilderness unspools

beneath you as your pilot/guide whisks you off to little-

visited destinations where the fly-fishing and spin

casting are both world class. Whether you want to reel in

Coho, Chinook, and Pink salmon or Cutthroat trout,

Rainbow trout and Dolly Varden char, the variety and

quality of fishing here is unbeatable. May through

October, trophy fish await novice and expert angler alike.

“Yesterday I was a glacier.

Today I was a waterfall.

Tomorrow I will be an ocean.”

Gray Hawn, photographer

Heli-adventures and heli-hiking

A ride in your own private helicopter is truly the most

exciting way to experience British Columbia’s Central

Interior. Each day offers a variety of exciting, helicopter

based coastal expeditions. You can fly to the killer

whales for a private and intimate experience with these

stunning marine mammals, or raft on the dazzling white

waters of the Nimpkish and Wakeman rivers. Our heli-

hiking terrain is selected for its beauty and diversity. You

will find yourself trekking along mountain ridges,

amongst alpine meadows, and around glacial lakes.

When it’s time for lunch your helicopter will whirl you

away to the white sand beaches of the West Coast to feast

on a gourmet picnic as the blue waters of the Pacific

Ocean wash your feet and the sun warms your very soul.

Whether you choose to heli-adventure to diamond blue

glaciers of the Coast Range mountains or heli-hike

historic trails, you are guaranteed an experience that is

as close to Heaven as you can get.

“I‟m a seven-time guest and if you‟re

wondering at all if you should go to

Nimmo Bay, call me — and that will be

the end of your wondering.”

Julian Rawl, North Carolina

Wilderness and wildlife adventure

Our resort includes a unique retreat offering many

coastal experiences such as wildlife viewing, saltwater

angling, whale watching, bear watching, kayaking, rock

climbing, and hiking at the foot of Mount Stephens. And

when it’s time to relax you can kick back in a private

inter-tidal chalet, have a massage, take a yoga class, and

so much more. Spectacular sunsets are the backdrop for

delightful evenings around our floating fire pit: listen to

music and sing along to the beguiling strum of an

acoustic guitar while creating memories that will stay

with you forever.

Add the use of a helicopter to this package with our ‘Hire

by Desire’ program (which gives you the ability to

reserve a helicopter for any portion of your vacation).

“Book me in for a week for the

rest of my life.”

Hal Schroeder, Texas

A resort that is ‘Exclusively Yours’

Your entire group can stay together and experience our

incredible wilderness, all while maintaining complete

privacy. Whether you choose fishing, exploring or

adventuring, our Exclusively Yours program is available

for groups of two to eighteen. You can have the private

use of one to four helicopters and, if required, the entire

resort. Total resort exclusivity is the ultimate way to

maximize your wilderness experience.

Adventuring with your family in a wilderness setting is

cathartic. Your children will experience what they have

only read about in books when they come face to face

with the amazing wildlife of the Central Coast. Grand-

parents, grand-children and everyone in between can

find satisfaction fighting to land a giant salmon, hiking

an alpine meadow, or enjoying lunch together on top of

the world. New discoveries are made daily as we learn

what is beyond the next horizon or in the mountain

valleys below.

“Take the best vacation you‟ve ever had,

multiply it by ten, and you have

Nimmo Bay.”

Brittney Rogers

Accommodation

Our cozy private chalets are the perfect place to rest

yourself after a day of adventure. Six of our inter-tidal

chalets were built over the rise and fall of the tide so you

will awaken to the breath-taking ocean views of the

surrounding bay. Still with a view of the ocean, our other

three chalets are tucked in the forest beside our onsite

waterfall. Here you will fall asleep to the sound of

cascading mountain snow melt as it tumbles down from

five thousand feet. All of our chalets have two bedrooms,

a full bathroom, a lovely living area, queen sized beds,

fine linens, fully stocked mini-bar, local art work and are

finished in the beauty of red cedar and pine. You will take

comfort knowing that all of the in-room amenities and

services have been hand-picked and carefully placed into

each chalet to ensure you have everything that you could

possibly need during your time with us at Nimmo Bay.“After 37 years of marriage, this was

the happiest I have seen my wife!”

Cuisine at Nimmo Bay

You will soon notice that we are as much about our food

as we are about the adventures we offer. Breakfast and

dinner are served fully plated in our family-style dining

room as you cast your gaze over the peaceful waters of

Nimmo Bay. Lunch you will enjoy as a gourmet picnic

served in one of nature’s restaurants. Whether on a

remote coastal island, the peak of a snow-capped

mountain or anywhere in between, you will find these

restaurants are never crowded. Fresh local seafood and

tender BC meats are the stars of our food shows and we

always take care to cater to special dietary needs. Having

the opportunity to nourish our guests with fresh, local,

coastal, homemade fare and spoil them with the best in

BC Wine, is truly as much a treat for us as it is for your

taste buds.“Nimmo Bay has created the most

glorious memories for my family and

the leadership team of Southwestern

Energy — expectations exceeded!”

Harold Korell, Southwestern Energy

Environmental stewardship

Nimmo Bay is a unique, environmentally pristine jewel

— and we intend to keep it that way! The presence of

Nimmo Bay’s waterfall cascading from the top of 5,000

foot Mount Stephens was the primary reason that we

chose this beautiful spot and we are mindful of our

responsibility as stewards of such a remote and wild

area. Our resort has set the standard whereby the natural

environment will remain unblemished by human

visitation. In 1982 we installed a water-powered turbine

to provide power. In 1984 we started using helicopters as

our primary mode of transport and commenced our

100% catch-and-release angling policy. Now the fish go

free and no evidence of our presence is felt. We leave

nothing behind. The year 2000 saw the implementation

of a state-of-the-art wastewater management system.“I love Nimmo Bay. It‟s luxury in the

wilds and it‟s wildly luxurious… and yet its footprint in the ecology is very

small. The best of all possible worlds.”

William Shatner

Helicopters and guides

Our hiking and marine guides are chosen for their years

of experience in the surrounding area. They are masters

on the water and on land and are a wealth of knowledge

of the local topography, culture, history, flora and fauna.

They take pride in educating everyone on the wondrous

natural world that we are so lucky to call our backyard.

Our pilots are handpicked, specially mountain-trained

individuals who represent the finest pedigree of aviators.

Intimate knowledge of the local terrain, historical

knowledge, and a wide set of skills are but a fraction of

the repertoire of these multi-faceted individuals. Your

pilot also serves as your angling coach & guide, lunch

time maitre d’, musical coordinator and mentor.

Our helicopters receive a rigorous maintenance routine

that is performed daily by licensed engineers —

treatment that exceeds the highest industry standards of

care. Audio headsets and digital sound are some of the

fun features of these superb machines. In our pilot’s eyes,

your safety, comfort and enjoyment are paramount.
