NIMMO BAY RESORT
GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST,
BRITISH COLUMBIA
WHY You won’t have any trouble unplugging
at this family-run floating lodge. Only
accessible by air, the nine cabins are immersed
in pristine wilderness. After a day of adventures
at old-growth forests or fly-fishing at a secluded
nearby river, return to plush resort amenities,
like a hot tub nestled next to a cascading
waterfall or a private cabin dinner.
BEST TIME TO VISIT May through late
October is the optimal time to observe wildlife.
NOT-TO-MISS EXPERIENCE Save up so you
can really splurge and spend a day exploring
the wilds of the Great Bear Rainforest from
your own private helicopter. Get dropped on an
alpine ridge line for a guided hike, then transfer
to a secluded island for a picnic with champs.
End the day taking in the sunset from atop
Mt. Stephen. ($5,810 per day for two people)
PRICE $1,995 per person per night, plus
$340 per person for round-trip floatplane
