"What a special and magical experience!

Our guide Aaron was very kind, knowledgeable and accommodating. We made plenty of stops to look at wildlife on the way, observing whale activity, sea otters, bird life and sealions. Since Ahous brings their morning tours before the general public can be there, we were a very small group and it felt like the place was truly a hidden gem.

If you want to go to the hot springs, choose Ahous and support local Indigenous business!" - Tania Clarke

"Had a great hot springs tour with our guide, Eugene! The hot springs themselves were small but we were the first boat of the day so we had them all to ourselves. We saw otters, a sea lion, seals, bald eagles, a grey whale and two bears along the way.

I learned a ton about the history and beauty of the islands around Tofino and Eugene had enough dad jokes to keep everyone engaged and laughing. Would highly recommend choosing Ahous!" - Taylor Smith

"My partner, friends and I went on the bear watching tour in April - it was amazing! It was one of the best experiences we've had since being in Canada. We were lucky enough to see a few black bears, hundreds of otters, eagles and seals. Our guide was so knowledgable and happy to have a chat. It was beautiful to see Tofino & surrounding islands from the water." - Claire M

What we hope for visitors joining us at Ahous Adventures is a connection to who the Ahousaht people are, our stories, our way of life, our values, and really the state of the marginalization of our community from the tourism economy and their opportunity to contribute to correcting that over time.

So not only learning from our culture and well and ways of life, but finding through that more meaningful connection to place and then an opportunity to contribute and feel good about contributing to its ongoing stewardship.

And so we hope people come into Ahous Adventures and feel welcomed and feel like it’s a unique experience in terms of its direct connection to our Indigenous community and cultures, and that there’s an opportunity for them to give back. - ?ikaatius (Tyson Atleo)

"My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our early morning hot spring adventure with Eugene yesterday. The scenery on the way out was incredible, the hot springs and the hike in were beautiful and we saw lots of grey whales, sea lions and other wildlife on the way back. Ahous is the only outfit that has access to the hot springs so early in the morning so it wasn’t crowded when we were there but I can imagine it being very busy later on. Thanks Eugene for sharing your knowledge and your land with us!" - Mark K

"Loved my eco tour to Hot Springs Cove with Ahous Adventures. It was one of the best and most rejuvenating experiences I’ve ever had. The boardwalk was pristine and extremely well maintained and the hot springs were just beautiful. Not only that we saw several whales, otters, eagles and other wildlife on the boat ride to and from. Our captain, Eugene, was kind, funny, generous and very knowledgeable. I felt very taken care of by each staff member I encountered from start to finish. I wholeheartedly support local, Indigenous owned businesses and it’s such a privilege to learn from the people who know their land best. Highly recommend." - Adrienne N
