Eugene from Jamie's did a great job. His passion and experience made this a memorable trip. Hot springs were interesting but the hike in and the boat trip were the highlight for us. More

What a great experience! We went with Ocean Outfitters to Hot Springs Cove on the 1:00pm departure. When we arrived another group was leaving so it was only us and two other couple. This was the perfect amount of people as the hot springs can get a little crowded if there are too many people there. The best part is... More

From the sea plane or boat arrival to the treck through the west coast rain forest , a soak in the hot springs is a "must" . Great opportunity to experience unspoiled nature, wild life and the rugged coast. More

“Thanks Jamie's Whaling Station!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2012

I visited Hot Springs Cove for the 1st time back in 2005, and then returned back with Jamie's Whaling Station. They do an amazing trip there and back, stopping for wildlife where possible, ensuring you have a well rounded trip! Tip : go when the day is cold ... because the springs will always be hot hot hot!

“So Beautiful!”

Well... for starters, you have to take a boat over which really is a tour in itself! Saw whales, otters, bears and other sea life just on the way over! Got dropped off at the beach and began to walk along the boardwalk towards the hot springs (about a 15 minute walk). It was a beautiful walk among the trees.... More

We went to the Hotsprings on Easter weekend. We went first thing in the morning so it wasn't too crowded. It was really pretty and the springs were nice and warm and we could soak and relax. We had gone surfing the day before and were soar so the the hot water felt amazing. The view from the change area... More
