Everything about this excursion was great! The boat ride in open water, seeing the otters was a treat but watching the grey's was overwhelming. The easy 1/2 hour walk was peaceful and beautiful, the hot springs melted all aches away. A very worthwhile experience.

This trip was wonderful. It's an absolute must. Tony our guide was great and very accommodating when stopping to see the wildlife. The walk through the forest couldn't have been better, the hot springs are so relaxing. Bring water shoes, rocks are slippery and some are sharp. Boat trip across and back was great.

I actually really enjoy hot springs in general and I try to go to a few every year. This was no exception. It is a 1.5 hour boat trip to the springs, and I'd recommend some motion sickness meds if you are prone to being sea sick. It was a very very long 1.5 hours for me. The hike in... More

The board walk is superb and has been extremely maintained. It's so peaceful to walk to through the forest before getting to the springs.

this was a good trip out but was a long boat ride and because there was fog we didn't see anything. This was a very nice walk through the forest and dip in the springs I don't think it was worth the $119 for the tour to get there though!

We took the hot springs cove excursion with The Whale Centre in Tofino early in August 2012. it was an overcast day so they used their covered cabin boat which had capacity for 12 persons. The guide was a local and so knowledgeable about the area. The trip to the hot springs cove took about 30 to 45 minutes depending... More

We were a bit disappointed on this excursion. The boat ride in was beautiful. The boardwalk hike was gorgeous (but a bit slippery). The Hotsprings are extremely small - there were only 6 people when we were there and it was very crowded. I can't imagine it in a busier season. The rocks are extremely slippery - water shoes are...

This place is beautiful, and the water is HOT, and the half hour hike in is fantastic as well. Please, PLEASE wear water shoes when you go and be careful with your footing. Two people on my trip slipped on the rocks, one just a scrape, and the other badly injured their ankle. We could not seem to find an... More

A most wonderful nature and primitive hot spring experience!! Great trip to get there. Best to go in the off season or shoulder season to be assured of a more singular experience. Very worthwhile.

I took a boat ride over from Tofino ( good advice I got, get a group of people to go with you and ask for a discount), walked through a beautiful rainforest and then soaked up the warm waters of a natural spring as it flowed to the ocean.
