The lavish Nimmo Bay Heli Resort is a dream come true for founders Craig and Deb Murray, and no less than paradise-found for their guests. From the moment visitors step off the resort's helicopter—after a jaw-dropping transfer along British Columbia's central coast—reality is redefined. A surging waterfall, originating from neighboring Mount Stephens, provides the perfect backdrop for this place of wild comfort.

Nimmo Bay hosts a maximum of 18 guests in waterside, luxury chalets that have been crafted from reclaimed yellow cedar, ancient hemlock, and knotty pine trees. A short stroll along lamp-lit boardwalks lined with flower boxes leads past the hot tub and plunge pool to the main lodge whose warm, wooden interior, lined with leather couches and a cache of musical instruments, encourages guests to unwind. Adjacent to the lodge is Nimmo's floating bakery which churns out its own pastries, breads, and ice cream, as well as creations like the "Glorious Frozen White Chocolate Cheesecake."

Nimmo's soul lies in the epic wilderness that surrounds it. Each day anglers, hikers, and paddlers can embark on a different heli-adventure. They can soar over alpine lakes glinting like diamonds in the mountainsides, setting down to explore the untouched landscape on foot. They can buzz BC's highest peaks, and then go on to summit them. They can hover over old-growth forest, and land for a closer look at towering 250-foot-high trees, enormous caverns, and underground waterways. They can raft down the Klina Klini River on Class II to Class V, kayak the Inside Passage alongside pods of whales, and fly-fish virgin rivers. In short, a truly breathtaking place.
