Maquinit Hot Spring
Maquinit Hot Spring is one of the very few saltwater hot springs in the world, making it geologically unique. Located about 30 minutes from Coron town, the spring feeds a series of natural pools surrounded by mangroves and tropical vegetation.
The water temperature ranges from 38-40°C (100-104°F), making it genuinely hot, perfect for relaxing tired muscles after a day of climbing stairs at Kayangan Lake and snorkeling. The spring feeds into the sea, creating an interesting temperature gradient.
The setting is magical at sunset, when the sky turns orange over the mangroves. There are basic changing facilities and the pool is well-maintained.
