点评:We took a sea plane, with Tofino Air, to get there; and it was truly the most amazing thing I've ever done. The flight was breathtaking! The hike was significantly harder than I expected. It took us (a family of 5) a little over 45 minutes. There were SOOO many stairs, which I wish I would have been more mentally prepared for. It's definitely not an accessible location. We only had about 30 minutes at the Hot Springs before we had to trek back through the rain forest. We were sad that we didn't have more time to spend there, but I understand that they need to get people in and out quickly to keep the crowds low, since the spring is very small and can only fit about 8 people. The water under the waterfall is from the spring and very hot. We tried to venture a little further out toward the ocean, but it gets cold really fast! Best spot is about 3 feet from the waterfall, as the temperature is perfect. They say to pack a lunch, but we aren't sure how anyone would have time to picnic. We just ate our food after we got back into Tofino. Pro tip: stop at Harbour View Coffeehouse right by Tofino Air to change clothes and get a coffee and snack after the the trip. They are one of the only spots that has a restroom, and it's a gorgeous view. The "Canada Latte" was amazing.
Surreal to say you took a seaplane to a remote, uninhabited island; hiked through a rain forest; and climbed down into a geothermal hot spring in the freezing Pacific Ocean!
翻译:我们乘坐托菲诺航空的水上飞机到达那里;这真是我做过的最棒的事情。飞行过程令人叹为观止!徒步旅行比我预想的要难得多。我们(一家五口)花了45多分钟。楼梯实在太多了,真希望自己能做好更多的心理准备。这绝对不是一个容易到达的地方。我们在温泉只待了大约30分钟,然后就不得不徒步穿过雨林返回。我们很遗憾没有更多的时间在那里度过,但我理解他们需要快速安排游客进出,以减少拥挤,因为温泉很小,只能容纳大约8个人。瀑布下的水来自温泉,非常热。我们试着再往前走一点,靠近海边,但很快就冷了!最佳地点是距离瀑布约3英尺的地方,因为那里的温度非常适宜。他们说要带午餐,但我们不确定怎么会有人有时间去野餐。我们回到托菲诺后就吃了东西。小贴士:在托菲诺机场旁边的Harbour View Coffeehouse换衣服,喝杯咖啡,吃点零食,结束一天的旅程。那里是唯一几家有洗手间的餐厅之一,而且景色优美。“加拿大拿铁”太棒了。
乘坐水上飞机来到一个偏远的无人岛屿;徒步穿越雨林;爬进冰冷的太平洋里的地热温泉,这一切简直太不可思议了!
