Macquinna Marine Provincial Park

Our boat trip was to the Hot springs at the Macquinna Marine Provincial Park. You can only get there by boat or sea plane. The boat takes about 1 and 1/2 hrs and we went up the inside of all the islands and came back along the coast as the conditions were so good.
The idea was to also try and see some wild life, the low tide and full moon was supposed to be right for seeing black bears but this was not to be  and Lloyd still reckons that beers only come in a can or bottle!
When you arrive at the wharf to the hot springs then there is a 20mins broadwalk through lovely native old cedars.
We arrived at the pools at 12ish and luckily there was no one else except our boat of 8 people. They are amazing . I especially loved the rock pool close to the sea as its hot and then you get the waves come over you with cold water which mixes. Its really refreshing and magic and the same time.

The pools are small and have not been spoilt by being commercialised. They are very slippery as well but its  part of the charm!

The waterfall at the back was great to stand under, its really hot about 42 deg
