Maquinit Hot Spring

Hot Spring Easy hot-spring sunset unique relaxation

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.

  1. Take a tricycle from Coron town to Maquinit Hot Spring (about 30 minutes, P300-400 roundtrip).
  2. Pay the entrance fee (P200/person) at the gate. Basic changing rooms available.
  3. Walk down the boardwalk through the mangroves to the hot spring pools.
  4. Soak and relax! The main pool is hottest near the source. Cooler pools closer to the sea.

Local tip
Come at sunset (4:30-5:30 PM) for the best atmosphere. The combination of hot water and sunset colors over the mangroves is unforgettable. Bring water to drink, because you'll sweat.
