# What a trip to Newton Cove Resort costs, all in

> The package price for your party, plus tax and everything the tariff leaves out, from Newton Cove Resort's own published rates. Change any line and see the total.

Newton Cove Resort: from $6,079 CAD per person for 3 nights fully guided, two to a boat, summer 2026 (July to September), plus tax, with 30 hours of guided fishing on either package at a floating lodge in Esperanza Inlet that arrives on Fridays and Mondays.

## The package prices, 2026 (CAD)

Per person, Canadian dollars, taxes not included. Double is two anglers sharing a private suite and a boat, which is how the resort prices everything. Quad is four anglers sharing one boat, in two suites for two. Single-occupancy upgrades are available on request and not priced. Three-night packages arrive Friday and leave Monday; four-night packages arrive Monday and leave Friday.

| Package | Occupancy | Summer season |
|---|---|---:|

## What the calculator adds

- GST at 5%: 5% of the package
- Guide gratuity, per person per night: $85 per person, per night. The resort suggests $70 to $100 per guest per day on the boat. Counted per night here; the 3-night package has two half days and two full days on the water, the 4-night three full days.
- Shore staff gratuity: 20% of the package (choices: 0%, 10%, 15%, 20%). The resort's own suggestion is 20% of your stay for the shore staff, added to your room charges on departure. At your discretion.
- Tidal fishing licence and salmon stamp: $41 per person. Estimate: Fisheries and Oceans Canada's 5-day non-resident tidal licence plus the annual salmon conservation stamp. Required, not included, and the resort asks you to buy it online before you arrive.
- A night in Campbell River or Gold River on the way in: $180 per party (off by default). Estimate for a room. Not in the package and not required by the resort; check-in is mid-afternoon at the end of a two-hour drive from Campbell River, the last stretch gravel, so from the mainland it is a long day.
- Bar beyond the included beer and wine, per night: $25 per person, per night (off by default). Estimate. Select beer and wine come with appetisers and dinner; anything else is on your account.

Lines the operator did not publish are marked estimate in their note; the calculator on the page lets a reader change them. The enquiry it opens leads with the tariff's own currency.
