Hot Springs Cove

Hot Springs Cove is located in Macquinna Provincial Park. A 1.5 hour boat ride from Tofino takes you to the park's dock. You then hike a 1.5km boardwalk through the rainforest to the Springs. There are geothermal pools of hot water (50C), that get cooler the closer they get to the ocean, a waterfall as hot as a shower and a wonderful view looking out to the ocean.
