The resort suggests $70 to $100 per guest per day on the boat. Counted per night here, which is one day more than the packages fish; set it to 0 on a self-guided stay. - 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. - Fuel and bait, self-guided days, per boat per night: $150 per party, per night (off by default). Estimate. The rental boat rate card excludes fuel and bait; the package sheet does not say whether the packages do. Leave it off on a fully guided stay. - 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. ## Sources - Nootka Sound Resort, 2026 package sheet (PDF): https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:d644f04c-c104-4a7d-8d52-6ae5117915cd (read 14 September 2026) - Nootka Marine Adventures, Nootka Sound Resort Fishing Packages: https://www.nootkamarineadventures.com/resorts/nootka-sound-resort-fishing-packages/ (read 14 September 2026) - Nootka Marine Adventures, Rates: https://www.nootkamarineadventures.com/support/rates/ (read 14 September 2026) - Nootka Marine Adventures, Nootka Sound Resort: https://www.nootkamarineadventures.com/resorts/nootka-sound-resort/ (read 14 September 2026) - Nootka Marine Adventures, Booking Policy: https://www.nootkamarineadventures.com/support/booking-policy/ (read 14 September 2026) - Nootka Marine Adventures, Frequently Asked Questions: https://www.nootkamarineadventures.com/support/frequently-asked-questions/ (read 14 September 2026) - Nootka Marine Adventures, Directions: https://www.nootkamarineadventures.com/support/directions/ (read 14 September 2026) - Nootka Marine Adventures, Guided Fishing: https://www.nootkamarineadventures.com/activities/guided-fishing/ (read 14 September 2026) - Nootka Marine Adventures, Self Guided Fishing: https://www.nootkamarineadventures.com/activities/self-guided-fishing/ (read 14 September 2026) - Nootka Marine Adventures, Fishing Licenses: https://www.nootkamarineadventures.com/support/fishing-licenses/ (read 14 September 2026) - Nootka Marine Adventures, Wildlife and Heritage Tours: https://www.nootkamarineadventures.com/activities/wildlife-and-heritage-tours/ (read 14 September 2026) - Nootka Marine Adventures, Anglers Academy: https://www.nootkamarineadventures.com/activities/anglers-academy/ (read 14 September 2026) Canonical page: https://wildernessledger.com/experience/nootka-sound-resort/cost The experience: https://wildernessledger.com/experience/nootka-sound-resort (plain text: https://wildernessledger.com/experience/nootka-sound-resort.md) Written by Ben Taft, Photographer and filmmaker, The Wilderness Ledger (https://wildernessledger.com/about).
