The Wilderness Retreat at Nimmo Bay Resort

Arrive by seaplane to this remote speck on the map; it’s the only way in to Nimmo Bay Wilderness Resort, and into the magical Great Bear Rainforest.

Nestled deep in the heart of British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest, Nimmo Bay offers an unparalleled blend of adventure, wellness, and top-notch hospitality. Accessible only by air, this intimate, family-owned retreat immerses guests in pristine wilderness.

Slow down and sync with the natural rhythm of the rainforest. Indulge in a restorative massage or join a forest bathing experience, where the simple act of moving mindfully through ancient trees fosters deep relaxation and connection. Whether unwinding on a floating dock or savouring the quiet magic of a firelit evening, Nimmo Bay offers a sanctuary where time slows, and nature’s tranquility takes over.

For wildlife lovers, experienced guides lead unforgettable excursions, offering guests a rare glimpse into the untouched beauty of the Great Bear Rainforest. Venture into secluded estuaries to watch grizzly bears forage along the shoreline, watch sea lions jostle for space on a rookery and witness humpback whales swimming in the misty fjords. With expert knowledge and deep respect for the land, guides create immersive encounters that bring you closer to the wild, all while ensuring a seamless, responsible, and awe-inspiring experience.

The resort’s culinary program is as wild as its surroundings, celebrating local ingredients sourced from the land and sea. Every meal is a masterpiece, featuring fresh-caught seafood, farm raised meats, foraged delicacies, and artisanal creations that reflect the region’s rich bounty.

Whether seeking thrilling outdoor pursuits, tranquil moments of relaxation, or an extraordinary dining experience, Nimmo Bay seamlessly weaves adventure and indulgence into an unforgettable escape in one of the world’s last true wildernesses.
