Guests at the two all-inclusives are treated to three gourmet meals daily, starting with made-to-order hot breakfasts and artisanal lunches to take on the boat, and ending with dinner, often made using ingredients sourced from nearby Seaview Farms in Black Creek. Savour: Whether you want to grill up the fish you just caught, or sit back and be spoiled by the resorts' chefs, there are no shortage of dining options at Nootka Marine Adventures. Wildlife aficionados should keep their eyes peeled for black bears, sea otters, eagles, seals and humpback whales. (Be sure to bring your catch to the on-site government-certified processing facilities to have fish portioned and flash-packed for your trip home.)Īngling not your thing? From Moutcha Bay Resort you can easily access hiking, caving (at the nearby Upana Caves) or try paddle boarding, kayaking, and the increasingly popular sport of kayak fishing. Whether you have your own boat, want to rent one or are looking for a fully guided experience, the three resorts offer opportunities for novices and experts alike in waters packed with Chinook, Coho, Halibut, Lingcod, Rockfish and later in the season, Albacore Tuna.
