WHY VISIT THE HOT SPRINGS?

There are several reasons to visit the hot springs in Maquinna Marine Park, located northwest of Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

  1. Relaxation: Soaking in the natural hot springs is a great way to unwind and relax. The heat from the water can help soothe sore muscles and relieve stress, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

  2. Scenic Beauty: The hot springs are located in a beautiful, natural setting surrounded by lush rainforest and overlooking the ocean. The stunning views and tranquil atmosphere make the experience even more memorable.

  3. Health Benefits: The mineral-rich water in the hot springs in believed to have healing properties that can help improve circulation, soothe skin conditions and alleviate certain types of pain.

  4. Adventure: Getting to the hot springs is an adventure in itself, as they are located in a remote area that requires a boat ride. This adds to the sense of excitement and makes the experience even more rewarding. You will enjoy a 2 km hike on a cedar boardwalk through old growth forest once you arrive at the hot springs (and on the way back).

Overall, visiting the hot springs in Tofino is a one-of-a-kind experience that offers relaxation, adventure and the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the rugged west coast and nature.

We offer daily six hour boat tours aboard our Cabin Cruiser to the hot springs. We suggest bringing your swimsuit, towel, good walking shoes, lunch, water and water sandals to wear in the hot springs pools.
