Adventure
Reconnect with nature and enjoy once-in-a-lifetime experiences in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest. Exploring the wilds surrounding the lodge can be enjoyed on foot, by boat, kayak or paddleboard or on an exhilarating helicopter adventure. Journey to a 10,000 year old glacier, secluded beaches, pristine forests, blue lakes and remote rivers for views to remember and an experience to treasure forever.
Spa Breaks
Enjoy an exhilarating swim to the floating sauna, lay back and relax in a cedarwood hot tub, or take a moment to yourself in the cool, invigorating waters gushing down in the waterfall behind the lodge – the healing powers of nature are very much a part of the wellness offering at the lodge. Nimmo Bay’s wellness practitioner can tailor a personalised programme that promises relaxation and rejuvenation where nature plays an important part - enjoy a unique spa journey, a simple massage or full day healing immersion with opportunities for treatments by the waterfall or under the forest canopy to fully ground and converse with the nature around you. The yoga studio is available for private and group sessions, with the sounds and colours of the forest all around.
Wildlife Encounters
Full day boat safaris into the spectacular wilderness open up the opportunity to see black and grizzly bears, orca and humpback whales, dolphins and sea lions in their natural habitats. Take a break for lunch with a gourmet picnic, the perfect accompaniment to far-reaching wilderness views.
Luxury Family Holidays
Children are welcomed at the lodge with previous guests as young as two months old! Nanny services are available with prior arrangement and bespoke programmes specifically designed with families in mind can be arranged ensuring that everyone can enjoy an incredible wilderness experience at any age.
