About
Maquinit is a natural saltwater hot spring (a rarity worldwide) where volcanically heated water fills a set of cascading stone pools right at the edge of the sea, with a mangrove boardwalk running along the shore.
The water holds a steady 38–40 degrees. Entrance is ₱200, and the ride out is half the experience: a bumpy tricycle track through hills and mangrove flats east of town.
It's the standard finish to an island-hopping day: a hot soak does remarkable things after hours of swimming and boat benches.
How to get there
-
Take a tricycle from Coron town proper heading east past the airport road turn, along the Coron-Busuanga road.
-
The ride takes about 20 to 30 minutes and drivers charge roughly P300 to P400 for the round trip with waiting time.
-
The springs open at 8am. Sources disagree on closing, giving either 7pm or 8pm, so aim to arrive by late afternoon.
-
The water runs about 38 to 40 degrees, so enter gradually feet first, stop if you feel dizzy, and supervise children closely. Bring cash, as cards are not accepted.

Local tip
Go after dark. At midday the 40-degree water plus tropical sun is punishing; at night it's perfect and the crowd thins out. Agree on a round trip with your tricycle driver (about ₱300) and have them wait; there's no passing traffic to flag out there.
