Tallheo Hot Springs is a hot spring located on the west shore of South Bentinck Arm, an inlet on the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada, located southwest of the community of Bella Coola. The hot springs, which are known as Ix7piixm in the Nuxalk language, are located opposite Bensins Island, the only island in South Bentinck Arm.
Insider tip — Bella Coola is one of British Columbia's most isolated coastal communities, accessible by the notoriously steep Freedom Road through the Coast Mountains or by BC Ferries. The Tallheo Hot Springs emerge in this remote fjord country where the Bella Coola River valley cuts through some of the world's most intact old-growth temperate rainforest, in the Nuxalk Nation territory whose people have used these springs since time immemorial in one of Canada's most culturally and ecologically irreplaceable landscapes.
