Hot Spring Cove Wildlife Watching

Endless clues have shown so far that the Pacific Rim Region is one the best destinations you MUST pay a visit to whenever you happen to drop by or plan to have your vacation on Vancouver Island. It doesn't really matter which city you choose to go whether it is Tofino, Ucluelet, or even Bamfield, with almost no wildlife viewing attractions. The entire region is full of endless wonders and ample opportunities to explore them one by one. We can proudly claim that we operate various wildlife viewing tours based on your interest in the recreational heart of Vancouver Island. not to mention that aside from the Pacific Rim being a wonderland itself, it is full of hidden gems to discover first and then explore them. For instance, Hot Spring Cove, about 50km (31 Miles) northwest of Tofino, is one of the hotspots for Tofino bear viewing along with other wildlife viewing opportunities. But why do we call it hot spring? The more you get familiar with this world, the more you will believe that The Almighty has created it with a calculated discipline. The area is located on a geological fault. Due to the earth's crust, this area (i.e., Hot Spring Cove) is unstable. The ocean water comes up into the earth to a 5km depth. Afterwards, it is heated to over 100 degrees Celsius before the pressure of the crust pushes the water back up the earth's surface. The hot water moves through broken rock with a temperature around 50 degrees Celsius. While the water temperature is quite hot when it is pouring from the fractured rocks, you will definitely want to feel it against your skin when it becomes mixed with the cold ocean water. That temperature is something you can hardly ever find. Further, we will introduce and discuss every wildlife viewing opportunity prepared for you and companies in the Hot Spring Cove area. Stay with us!

That is impossible that someone likes to be on the water floating and doesn’t enjoy whale watching. Tofino whale watching is famous all around Vancouver Island, and people would get in lines to book a tour for themselves. Great opportunity to explore the waters and see some oceanic creatures playing around. Bring your binocular to make it even more exciting and increase the odds of spotting at least one whale since we are not the ones who determine when or where a whale breaches out of the water. The good news is that although the tour is labelled “whale watching,” keep an eye on the water to spot other marine creatures like seals, sea lions, and maybe otters. Marine life has always excited the hell out of people. Maybe breaching out for a catch of fresh sea oxygen is ordinary and usual for whale and it may be used to do it every day, but for someone out of the frame is too much excitement. Overall, Hot Spring Cove whale watching is something off the grid. You find the opportunity to come. You grab it immediately!

Tofino is one of the hotspots for bear watching on Vancouver Island, and guess what? Hot Spring Cove is located right in the northwestern part of this wonderful city. Black bears are one of the dominant creatures inhabiting Vancouver Island. Based on the report from BC Government, there are at least 7000 black bears on the Island. Pay attention if you come to Tofino to see some black bears rolling down the hill to the beach to grab a bite; come during spring and summer. Otherwise, they will be in their hibernation, and you might return empty-handed. During the sunset, black bears will get onto the beach in search of rock crab and other creatures for a treat, but the most fantastic time is when they get into the water and hunt down their salmon and get back to land, sit gently and start to eat that fish piece by piece. I mean, Wow! If you happen to come to the Hot Spring Cove area, black bear viewing is not something you want to lose.

If I want to introduce you to another dominant resident of Vancouver Island after black bears and whales, it will be the bald eagles. Wherever you can find fish, there is a place to spot some bald eagles too. Bald eagle does not usually appear in sight. The only time you can gaze upon these almighty birds is when they get hungry, and they come down to prepare themselves a treat. Other than bald eagles, there are plentiful birds you cannot finish viewing every single one of them. This various birdlife includes seagulls, belted kingfishers, oystercatchers, mergansers, turnstones, osprey, great blue herons, and shorebirds. So if you happen to pass by Hot Spring Cove and you’re in love with watching a bird’s feather coming down the sky, well, congratulations, this is the place to come!

Have you ever thought about what would happen if you get lost in lands that are unknown to you? Well, if you think about it deeply and imagine yourself right into the position, you would feel the horror. You go right, and you don’t know the place. You go left, and the same thing happens. So, whenever you travel to someplace for the first time, given it is the gorgeous Hot Spring Cove, and you want to experience recreational opportunities provided for you, like Hot Spring Cove wildlife viewing tours, you would definitely need an experienced tour guide to show you the best ways to help you build awesome memories. Wherever on the Island you decide to spend your holidays is a mystery; especially when your prim aim is to go, there are bird watching opportunities.
