Tofino Coastal Hot Springs Cove Tours

tofino hot springs tours

Whales, Bears & Hot springs are all possible in one amazing tour! Hot Springs Cove is an exciting 6 -7 hour adventure where our captains make an effort to find wildlife including whales, black bears, seals, sea lions, puffins, sea otters, bald eagles (aerie too!) and over 20 miles of gorgeous coastline and beaches. Our hot springs tours are offered year round (weather permitting). Although we can't guarantee wildlife sightings on this adventure, you have an excellent chance to see everything. Once disembarking at the dock in Hot Springs Cove you will follow the historic cedar boardwalk through an enchanting rainforest (1.5 km). At the end of this incredible walk lies a succession of natural geothermal hot spring pools, a cascading waterfall and a stunning view of the mighty pacific ocean - an amazing daytrip for all ages!

If you crave a bit more adventure you have the option of flying home to Tofino from the Hot Springs Cove in a float plane. Please inquire for details on our Sea to Sky package.
