This trip is a nature/boat trip. It is actually a whale watching/hot springs/ bear watching trip to be exact of Kyuquot Sounds. It lasts for about 6 hours in total. We left around midday and went out on a zodiac boat. Kyuquot Sounds is a whole heap of little rocky islands, that are covered in old growth rainforests (the last in BC), and they look so magical with the clouds hovering over them - it was really spectacular. So, first off you go through the inland bays and the tour guide looks for black bears (we saw one!!!) and you look at the scenery and it was absolubly amazing; then they take you to the hot springs. Well, not exactly to them. They drop you off at the jetty and it is about a 30-40min walk on a boardwalk through the rainforest to the hotsprings. A really cool thing is that people have engraved the names of their boats or their family names into the boardwalk and some of the engravings are really really creative.
The hotsprings themselves are amazing. They are a real hotsprings. It is a series of small rock pools - it starts with a waterfall, and the pool lead down to the ocean, so while you are sitting in this really, really hot pool the cold ocean waves are crashing on top of you - it was amazing. You are left there for about 3 hours - of which half your time is spent walking to and from the hotsprings - which is really a pleasent walk too, but there are quite a few stairs too.
On the way back, they take you out into the Pacific Ocean to go whale watching - we saw three - but it can get a bit rough, so if you get sick, you will be bettter in the back of the boat as the front is very rocky. We also saw a sea otter, sea lions and puffins. Then it is a nice trip back into the harbour around sun set.
It was the best trip, so see this area.
