Maquinit Hot Spring

The road to this location is definitely not the best. There are plenty of potholes and mud. Go with a guide rather than going on your own. This is a privately owned business but absolutely wonderful to enjoy. If you're not a fan of hot baths or showers, this is not the place you would like. But if you love to unwind and relax after a hard day. This is the place. The water is a mix of salt water and fresh water. 10 minutes in and 5 minutes out. Pay attention to this rule. There is also a misting station to cool your body down. Bathrooms and changing rooms are available. Tables with benches. If you come during the wet season, be prepared to get wet. Bring a dry bag. Along with extra clothes to change into.

Impressive Hot spring.
Was best choice to visit here on wet season since it been cool at night.
It will relax your body from diving and snorkeling.
Bring your towels and take strong mind while off load... recommend to ride Van

Fabulous place to visit. We went around 6:30 pm and watched the moonrise at a full moon… absolutely Stunning. When we were there the water was 41°C Celsius, initially it’s extremely hot to get in but you get used to it very quickly.
There are good changing rooms and a toilet, entrance fee was 300 peso per person. Good guides there to explain things like to only stay in 10mins at a time. Bring plenty of water with you, but there is a shop you can buy cold water there at a reasonable price.
The road to get there is more like a dirt track with a lot of rocks, thankfully we got a tricycle, our driver was fantastic and he waited there until 8 pm to pick us , cost 700 peso with a pickup from our accommodation and brought us home again, it was still very tricky journey but was worth it! If you’re taking a tricycle, make sure it’s a new one, as some of them might not make the journey. Anyone knew to drive in scooters, be very careful it’s not for inexperienced drivers.

The hotsprings are very nicely laid out and relaxing. We're here in the morning and it was very empty. If you look closely into the mangroves, you can see a few different birds 🙂

This place is hot! 🫠🤪🤣

Kidding aside, it's some distance from the town proper and the roads are muddy so prepare to fork out a sum for the transpo especially if you're a solo traveler. Entrance fee is now 300 pesos (July 2024). There are huts and changing rooms but you don't need to rent one. Everybody comes and goes all wet, usually after their day tour and the vans and trikes already know this and are prepared.

Better go here at night or when it's raining because at daytime when the sun is all out, the heat from the springs can be oppressive and you won't have any reprieve. Be careful also about dipping immediately especially if your hypertensive. Read the instructions posted just before entering.

Also, don't forget to visit the mangrove area where you can take pix with Coron island and bay as your backdrop.

We left our hotel around 4:30pm. It took around 30 minutes by tricycle from.

Transportation: It took around 30 minutes by tricycle from our hotel (Zuri Resort). Our driver was waiting for us for 1.5 hours. It cost PHP700 return.

Journey: Very rough. Bumpy road halfway through the local residential area and the rest is very dusty rocky bumpy, cracky road. It was the most scary and terrifying experience. I will recommend to wear a mask during the journey.

Entrance: PHP300 per person as of March 2024. If you have a bag, it will be checked by a security. Open at 8:00am, Cut off @ 7:00pm and Close @ 8:00pm.

Hot springs: Quite hot but it feels very relaxing. You may find it too hot if you come during the day, however, you can cool down yourself under mist sprays.

Facilities: There are changing rooms and toilets. They are very clean. Small kiosk to buy some drinks and snacks for reasonable prices (we ordered two cans of Coca Cola for PHP110.)

What to bring with you: A swimming costume, a bath towel and flip flops

After 5:30pm, more people turned up and it became busier. A lot people come to see the sunset, however, you actually cannot see the sunset but you can enjoy watching the colour of changing of the neighbouring islands.

Highly recommend

We went there during the early afternoon. The place is not so crowded and we basically had the whole place to ourselves.
The staff were friendly nice and willing to assist and chat.
The hot spring is unique as it is salty hot, the park says anywhere from 38 to 41 degrees centigrade depending on time of day.
There is a mini store there to buy refreshments. The are cottages there for groups that want to bring food and stay longer.
The place can be accessed via tours, or rental vehicles. We decided to rent a car and do our own chilled city tour.

Morning visit was serene. What a great relaxing experience. A little bit of a trek for the adventurous type but so so worth it. Word is that evening can get very busy.

Fantastic and relaxing! You should be here at 8:00 when they open. Then you will have the whole bath for yourself for at least 1.5hrs. In the morning there are some shaded areas and the air is Not so hot. Water temp was 37,9 when I measured it with my Pixel 8pro. Plan at least 2hrs for soaks and resting. They sell Beer, soft Drinks and Snacks at very low prices (Soda 30P). You can use the benches and tables for free or rent one of the open huts (small 200P, large 300P) taking a tricycle will cost you 600P - so it's worth to do it as one of the points when you rent a Scooter (Scooter price is only 600P/24hrs).

The journey to get there from Coron by tricycle takes about 25 minutes on a pretty rough road the last half of the way. This is a nice place to go for relaxation. It's a natural hot spring, and the water is definitely warm, bordering on hot when you first touch it. It probably feels best in the early morning or evening when it's cooler out, but we went late morning and it still felt nice. The crowds can get fairly large during peak times, so go in a non-peak time or plan ahead. There is a raised bamboo walkway that takes you out to the ocean for a pretty view of the water and islands.

This is an awesome spot for an early evening relaxation.
Entrance fee for non-locals is PHP 300.00
For locals is PHP 150.00

Despite of a quite small distance to the city of Coron, the time spent here was a very pleasant one. Incredible comfortable place, the difference between water temperature it was a really unique experience for me. It is very different Hot Spring because of its special surroundings and the unique environment. I was amazed by the genuine and authentic colours of the stones became like that during a long time. Never thought about so natural and incredible natural colours and textures transformed by the chemistry of mother nature of the Philippines, here in Coron. A place to come back !

It was raining hard on my way to the springs this morning, got the best surprised i arrived and rain is gone. So peaceful and relaxing. Would have wanted to stay longer than an hour if tryke driver didn’t give me the 1 hr only notice upon arrival. Anyway, i made the most of 1 hour.

This was our last stop on our Coron Island Tour and it was definitely worth it! The place was clean and well-maintained (I didn't change afterwards so I'm not sure how the dressing rooms were). We went closer to sunset so it didn't feel too hot, plus, there is an outdoor "shower" for you to rinse off after/cool down if needed. You could also see a small view of the ocean next to the springs. It got pretty busy towards the end of our stay, but it was still very relaxing and enjoyable!

The water is really relaxing. Rented a trike for 700 to go to this place. We wanted to walk, but the road was really bumpy and muddy. It's more of a trail than the usual road. Perfect to go at around 5 pm when it is colder. There are changing rooms and showers available. Food is not allowed, but there is a store inside. The hotspring is only open til 7 pm.

One of the most magical places I've ever been 😍🥰. I went at night and there was beautiful lighting which made it even more relaxing. There was a lot of people here but the atmosphere was nice and calm ☺. The water is hot and soothing ☺. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Coron 🙌🙏

Very great place to chill. It’s like having my favourite hot bath. The water is really hot, it may seem uncomfortable at first time, but in a minute you begin to relax
We came here at 1pm, and there was only 3 or 4 persons.
Very beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. One of the best places in Coron

Amazing experience! We arrived at 4:15 and it took a 25 minute trike ride from Coron town. The tickets are 300 pesos each to enter and our trike ride was 700 pesos. There are bathrooms and changing rooms and a small snacks and drinks shop where you can get water and crisps and beers. I think you can bring your own stuff too.
The water is so hot! 40 degrees Celsius. We are glad we didn’t go any earlier as we would have been too hot!
It was not too busy to start but got busier quickly after our arrival. But even though it was busy everyone was very relaxed and respectful of everyone else. The water was lovely and clean. The view was incredible.
The thing to note is that the journey there on the road is horrendous. It is so rocky and bumpy. Be very careful!

A very beautiful place, with a beautiful view of the islands. They have koisk (store) you can buy souvenirs, chips, and drinks.

Smoking is strictly prohibited in the area.

The staff are really approachable and kind. It is mostly populated from 5pm to 7pm.

The atmosphere is very serene but warm.

Best time visit on weekends. No crowd and can enjoy the place.
