4 Hour Trip – Campbell River on July 26, 2024 • 5 adultsRoyce was a knowledgeable and friendly captain who gave our family of 5 an experience we’ll always remember. We caught a fish within the first 40 minutes and several more. We are going out fishing again with him tomorrow and would certainly recommend to others.

8 Hour Trip – Campbell River on June 10, 2023 • 4 adultsSuper fun day out with Royce and Kelly. We caught 20 chinook salmon between the 4 of us. Royce is great at explaining the equipment and making you feel comfortable reeling in the big ones! Highly recommend Northwest Saltwater Adventures.

Nathan Brandon5.0VerifiedUnforgettable Family Fishing Experience
Full Day Fishing Charter - North on September 6, 2025 • 4 adultsMyself, my son, my son's girlfriend's father and her brother recently went on a Salmon fishing trip with Northwest Saltwater Adventures. I can honestly say it was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had, being I am from Saskatoon. Right from the moment we found the location, to the meeting with our guide (Royce) and his wife (Kelly) at the dock, in the early morning, was smooth & well organized. The boat was very clean and well equipped. Royce was not only knowledgeable and was also incredibly patient & helpful, especially for those of us who weren't seasoned salmon anglers. The scenery alone made our visit worthy of our trip. We encountered Whales, plus a pod of Orca's. The real thrill was when we caught something. The fish were strong and aggressive and tested our muscles and endurance to say the least. When we were done fishing and back to the dock, Royce cleaned and packaged our catch for our trip back home. Whether your'e a die hard angler or just looking to try something new, I highly recommend Captain Royce and his crew to provide you with a life time experience. I am looking forward to coming back again next time... Thank you again for showing us a great time. Dwayne I

Was a great three days out on the water with you guys. We battled through the rough conditions and still managed to get into some fish. Looking forward to next year and getting another shot at that elusive big chinook.
Everything exactly as advertised. Easy to get to. The captain had us reeling in fish early and often. Coho, chinook, lingcod, and a shark! When the water got rough he found us another location less rough which also had fish.
Thank you so much David we very much enjoyed having you and your family onboard! It was a fantastic day on the water today. We hope you enjoyed your fresh salmon dinner prepared for you at one of our favorite local restaurants! What a treat indeed! Enjoy the rest of your stay and we hope to see you again!
Had a great time on our fishing trip. The captain was very good and I helped him out when I could. We had lots of bits had some on and lost them. We went to a different location and tried and and we caught 2 ling cod and a pink salmon. It would have been nice to catch a spring salmon but there were whales in the area. I will go back next year and do it again. Thanks for the great fishing trip
Thank you Scott for the review! The orcas have definitely made the chinooks more scarce this year! And so many wild coho make it like winning the lottery to get hatchery marked. But that's why it's called fishing not catching I suppose. We appreciate you coming onboard and look forward to better luck next year!
Booked the 8 hour trip and had the most amazing day! Caught 14 fish total and took home 8 (Lingcod and salmon variety). Saw tons of humpbacks and orcas nearby for hours! Royce and Jerry were so friendly, helpful and professional. Absolutely incredible day on the water, thank you for everything! Highly recommended and we will return!
Thank you Carol for sharing your experience! We thoroughly enjoyed having you both on the water and hope you enjoy your bounty! Until next time.

My dad was a fishing guide in Campbell River when I was a young boy and I have always loved fishing and enjoy sharing my passion with my friends, family, and clients. The West Coast is simply spectacular and nothing beats the adrenaline rush of hooking into a legendary Chinook Salmon or reeling a Halibut or Lingcod up from the depths.
