Hot Springs Cove is an awesome adventure out of Tofino where you can soak in natural hot springs while surrounded by lush rainforest and the cool Pacific Ocean. As far as we know, these are the only hot springs on Vancouver Island.

These are a succession of pools that begin at a waterfall and follow to the ocean’s edge. The Hot Springs are a natural hot and cold experience mixing the geothermal hot springs with the brisk ocean water. As the tide comes in some pools get cooler while others are far enough away to stay pleasantly warm.

Once you arrive, there is a 2 km (30 minutes) walk along a well maintained wooden boardwalk with many stairs.

You can only get there by boat or plane, so it's a bit of an adventure (and price tag) to reach, but totally worth it for a relaxing and rejuvenating experience.

Tours can be booked through multiple Tofino tour companies.
