A Boat Ride from Tofino to Hot Springs Cove, B.C.

Day 7,  Thursday - Taking a Boat from Tofino to Hot Springs Cove

Tofino Pier, British Columbia, Canada


The weather in Tofino, BC is pretty grey, foggy most of time we were there.






We made a good decision visiting the Hot Springs Cove in Tofino, in the afternoon.














Our tour started at 1pm, we gathered at the Ocean Outfitters.









We received our instructions and PFD (Personal Flotation Device) and boarded a small commercial passenger boat at the Tofino Dock.















It was a small boat with ten passengers on board.







Travis, our captain, a young man in his early 30’s, gave us some excellent info about the marine life in this area.




He tried to direct our attention to the sightings of ocean animals whenever he received info about them on his radio from his counterparts.





We got all excited when we heard abut the sighting of some grey whales in the area.






However, we saw few ocean animals in the water while going to the cove.

But it was a different story on our way back to Tofino. We saw sea otters, and seals perching and sunbathing on top of huge rocks on some islands nearby.



We saw sea lions and otters perching on some big rocks on some big rocks on the way back.

This boat trip was an hour and half long each way. 

We learned something about the marine life in this region and got some good information on this remote community. 















It was an enjoyable and educational ride!
