  • Shore staff gratuityThe 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 stampEstimate: 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.$pp
  • A night in Campbell River or Gold River on the way inEstimate for a room. Not in the package and not required by the resort; check-in is mid-afternoon at the end of a two-hour drive from Campbell River, the last stretch gravel, so from the mainland it is a long day.$party
