How it works
The operator says the water enters the system at 47°C and that the horseshoe caves average 42°C, the main pool 35°C, and the cold plunge varies by season. The water is chlorinated as Interior Health requires and tested several times a day; the pool turns over more than 4 times a day and the cave 6 times. The public is admitted first come, first served Wednesday to Sunday, 10am-7:30pm (last entry 6pm), and Monday 10am-3pm; hotel guests have longer hours. There are private, family and accessible change rooms, free lockers, a spa (Spirit Water Spa) and a hotel.
First-come single entry to the pools and caves, no booking.
