- Nimmo Bay, Nimmo Bay, the Raven radio check on 1-0.
- [Voice On Radio] Coming in loud and clear.
- [Irvin] When you're in this area, there is no time.
Time doesn't matter.
(gentle guitar music)
- [Craig] Great Bear Rainforest is a huge forested area
on the coast of British Columbia,
and it's the last bastion of sanity in the world.
(gentle guitar music)
- We're blessed with water,
because we get our power
from the waterfall, we get our sweet,
pure drinking water from the waterfall.
That's extremely important
to look after water,
look after the land,
because today we need that.
Our planet needs that.
(gentle guitar music)
- [Fraser] What we're trying to do out here
is trying to create value on this land other than
extractive resources, and so the beauty has so much value
but that's very difficult to quantify,
and if I can
prove that this,
untouched, has value,
then maybe people won't take so much of it,
and they'll see it in a different way
than it has been seen in the past.
I think people are missing that spirituality
or energy when they're in the city,
and I think when they come to a place like Nimmo Bay
where they're in nature,
I think that's just
it's a natural response to feel like you're
getting in touch with something.
My parents started it in 1981,
and for the first few years it was survival mode.
It was nothing but digging clams around the corner
and just eating what we could forage.
- [Deborah] I had a very young family,
and we made the decision that being together
was more important than anything else,
so I dropped everything and came to this place,
and I had no idea where it was
or what it was or what we were gonna do.
- [Georgia] Growing up without understanding
how precious this place is and how fortunate we were
to come up and grow up in this way,
when you're inside of it you really can't
get an objective view and really understand
how special it is.
- [Clifton] I've been working here since I was
about eight years old, but
Nimmo Bay came around
kinda when I was born, so been here my entire life.
(uplifting music)
- [Fraser] Everybody's just sharing our life out here,
really, and we're just making it available
to other people to come and enjoy and share that experience.
- [Francisco] One of the reasons why people
continue to come back,
the people.
I often get that comment from guests.
They feel like they're at a brother's house
or a family member's house.
They never feel like they're at a hotel or a resort.
It's people's second home.

- [Pilot] Our Helicopter's here, Echo Bravo.
Lifting off of the west bend of the archipelago.
We'll be climbing up to 2,000 feet.
(helicopter blades whirring) (uplifting music)
- Nimmo Bay's motto is
"To fly is human, and to hover is divine",
and I believe that's absolutely true.
(uplifting music)
A lot of times people are speechless.
They don't really know how to find
the words for what we're looking at.
- [Pilot] Water is coming down the
south end of the Nimmo River here.
There's a beautiful section of waterfalls.
(uplifting music)
- [Morgan] The west coast of British Columbia is
just a really unique, diverse place
where you can go from glacial mountains
with rugged, jagged peaks,
down to pristine, clear lakes,
meandering beautiful rivers full of fish,
and rugged coastline all the way to the sandy beaches.
Nowhere else in the world really offers that
that extreme diversity in such a small area.
- [Interviewer] Can you tell me about the food?
- Oh my goodness, the food!
(uplifting music)
- We can do food here that nowhere else does
because this terra is absolutely unique.
The seafood is phenomenal, sea urchin we're free diving for,
we just started working with sea cucumbers.
Split prawns are unbelievable,
Halibut, lean cods.
I mean, all of which is fresher
than anything I've ever seen in a city.
- I try to forage as many natural ingredients
as I can and sort of incorporate nature
and the idea of nature into what I make.
I want people to feel at home,
and I don't want to feel like it's intimidating.
(uplifting music)
- [Craig] There is an incredible energy source
from within our mountain at Nimmo Bay.
And I'm not sure what creates that.
I think, perhaps, it's water.
- [Georgia] When I jump into the ocean,
I feel like I cleanse my soul
and just change the channel.

- [Irvin] Sometimes I go out in the boat
and I get to just lay in it
for, like, I don't know,
I think once a day for three hours,
And just listen to everything that's around me.
(birds chirping)
Just the surrounding gives you that calm feeling.
- [Fraser] People just don't know
how to bring it together out here,
and I think our team's able to bring together for people
and create these magic moments and that for me
it makes me really happy, and I see all the team,
that makes them happy, too.
They will elevate these experiences.
We want to see the joy on their face,
and as I talk, it's kinda giving me goosebumps.
So I feel that's what it's all about.
