This roughly 6-hour excursion, departing from Tofino, takes you by boat into the heart of Clayoquot Sound, a protected area rich in the flora and fauna of Vancouver Island.
It's possible, though not guaranteed, that you'll spot a few whales along the way. Keep an eye out!
After landing, a 2 km hike through temperate rainforest leads to Hot Springs Cove, home to sulphurous hot springs. Allow about 40 minutes to reach them, as the trail includes several flights of stairs. You'll have roughly 3 hours on site for the round-trip hike and time to relax at the springs, before returning by boat to Tofino.
Don't forget to bring water, a picnic, sturdy walking shoes, swimwear and towels!
