Nimmo Bay Heli Resort

Mother Nature stars at Nimmo Bay Resort Heli-Ventures, accessible only by helicopter or float plane from Port Hardy on the northern end of Vancouver Island. The family-run eco-resort, cited in “1001 Places to See Before You Die,” draws rave reviews as a luxury adventure destination. Well-appointed chalets house up to 18 guests and a floating Main Lodge brings everyone together for gourmet meals, beverages, and inspired brain-storming sessions.

An Exclusively Yours program caters to corporate or team-building retreats. By day, customized land, air, and sea adventures await. Private helicopters whisk guests away on guided fishing, alpine and glacial hiking, white-water rafting, and seasonal whale-watching expeditions. Sea kayaking excursions explore fjords of the Inside Passage and underground cave exploration inspires awe. Later, waterfall hot tubs rejuvenate guests for the next day's exhilarating challenges.
