Looking for a surfing adventure? Air Nootka can fly you to a remote location where you
and your friends can camp on an amazing sandy beach with plenty of fresh water and driftwood for a fire at sunset every evening. Best of all, the chances of having anybody else in the lineup for waves are slim to none.
Access
Your adventure starts with a flight from our floatplane base in Gold River down Muchalat Inlet to the west coast of Nootka Island. Your drop-off is Bajo Point. This landing site is tide and weather dependant, so your flight will be arranged accordingly.
From Bajo Point, it’s 2.5 km to Calvin Falls, the ideal camping spot. It takes the average group, with gear, about one and a half hours to hike this distance during low to mid-level tide heights. The camping at Calvin Falls is a dream. The waterfall supplies you with unlimited fresh water, and there is lots of firewood and even a shelter on the beach.
There is plenty of beach break potential here, depending on swell size. The rock shelves just west of Calvin and into Skuna Bay have nice set-ups, but are influenced significantly by tide and swell direction. The spring and fall are the best times to do this unforgettable trip. The swell is consistent, the days are longer and the temperatures are warmer than in the winter storm season.
The best scenario for transportation is to plan for a group of four people, their packs, and 6 to 8 surfboards (no longer than 7’0”) for each Beaver aircraft load. Both our Beavers comfortably handle 1100 lbs. each. This includes the weight of passengers and gear.
