Nimmo Bay Resort for Immersive Rewarding Incentives
Nimmo Bay Resort, A Canadian Incentive Destination that Thrills and Rewards
As we head into the 6th annual Incentive Canada Marketplace this week we are taking a deeper dive into some of the experiences and destinations that make Canada an immersive, transformational incentive reward experience. First up: Nimmo Bay Resort an intimate eco-wilderness lodge, where teams are transformed by the wild nature of the place.
There are no roads leading to Nimmo Bay making the journey part of the adventure. Just 1.5-hours flight from Vancouver, Seattle, and Victoria, this oceanside eco-resort is remote, yet easy to get to: charter sea planes and helicopters deliver guests right from their international airport to the door of the resort which floats, magically on the Broughton Archipelago, amongst the fjords of British Columbia’s fragmented mainland coast—accessible only by air or ocean. Tucked into the 21-million-acre Great Bear Rainforest, Nimmo Bay is surrounded by one of the largest coastal temperate rainforests left in the world; with a grand, gushing waterfall anchoring the heart of the property. This remote wilderness setting offers an unparalleled stage for group gatherings, naturally fostering creativity, and fresh perspectives, making it one of the best places in Canada for corporate groups to connect with nature, and with each other.
Once here, the pace slows down to the rhythm of the rainforest. Leisurely hikes beneath ancient cedars lead to new discoveries. Stepping away from distractions, concentrating on the moment, trying new activities, and sharing meals as a group has a way of removing barriers to forward thinking, switching up perspectives, or simply giving teams the space they need to foster creative thinking. Family owned for almost 40 years, the team at Nimmo Bay have seen it happen time and again over the years: groups that arrived harried and stressed are transformed by the raw wilderness and spending three, four or seven days kayaking or paddle boarding the intertidal zone, exploring the coast, taking sunrise yoga classes, or sitting around a blazing, floating campfire, finding connections where none previously existed.
Memorable experiences are the intangible takeaways of successful incentive programs. And while every activity Nimmo Bay offers is fully customizable, some are just downright awe-inspiring. Helicopter to a mountaintop picnic atop a 10,000-year old glacier, gaining access to over 50,000 square miles of pristine wilderness within minutes of liftoff. Spend an afternoon watching for the giants of the deep: Humpback and grey whales, and magnificent Orcas. Kayak with seals, sea lions and playful porpoise. Spy Grizzly and Black bears fishing for salmon on an interpretive nature tour. Heli-fish any of 50 isolated rivers or streams for wild, Pacific salmon.
When it’s time to get down to business, Nimmo Bay offers fully-equipped meeting spaces, but some of the most impactful moments take place while experiencing the resort: sipping cocktails at sunset on the floating dock, soaking in the hot tub by the central waterfall, unwinding in a floating sauna, or with the team around a floating bonfire, stars shining overhead.
The resort may be remote, but that doesn’t mean unrefined. Accommodations here include intertidal and forest-side cabins with all the amenities you’d expect of an urban hotel. The cuisine is coastal and abundant and features the best of British Columbia wine and beer. Stewards of the environment in which they reside, Nimmo Bay operates an ecologically sustainable resort, powered by the resort’s central waterfall. And while your group may be off the grid, they don’t have to be offline (although it’s awesome if they can disconnect); Nimmo Bay offers wireless WIFI throughout the property. With three, four and seven-day meeting and incentive packages, groups of up to 18 guests can buy-out the resort between May and October.
