Nimmo Bay Resort

www.nimmobay.com

 

As a family-owned Heli-Venture operation for more than 28 years, Nimmo Bay has, from its beginning,  built the entire operations around principles of sustainability and ecosystem management.

 

From the design of its floating resort and inter-tidal chalets built onto the rock, Nimmo was designed with minimal impact on surrounding forest or habitat. 80% of Nimmo's power is supplied by a small hydro turbine, powered from an on site waterfall.  Human waste is taken care of by a Hydroxyl waste management system and all other solid waste is taken offsite and recycled.  The fishery at Nimmo Bay is catch and release and the cuisine is very local and very fresh.

 

Nimmo offers heli-Fishing, beachcombing, ocean kayaking, river rafting, whale-watching, wildlife viewing and heli-hiking on mountain alpines and glaciers. Located in a small salt-water estuary at the head of McKenzie Sound, access to Nimmo Bay Resort is restricted to water and air transportation.  During peak operating periods the resort has 18 staff looking after 18 guests. 

 

Purchasing and hiring is done locally and Nimmo has a living, working tourism accord (Wi'la'mola accord) with the First Nations in their area.  Employee and guest education concerning the environment are ongoing.   Nimmo Bay has partnered with Clayoquot Wilderness Resort(HorsePower Safaris) and CMH(Heli-ski), both BCSTC members, to create an even further awareness for guests, on how important the wilderness and sustainability are to all the companies working within the collective.
