Ardent Hot Springs
Natural forest hot spring pools heated by Mount Hibok-Hibok, about 40°C. Soaking here at night is a classic island experience.
The hot springs are on the northern slope of Mount Hibok-Hibok, in the village of Tagdo. The spring water flows down a series of stepped pools. The upper pool is the hottest, and the lower ones are milder. The site is surrounded by tropical forest. It has changing rooms, a small restaurant, picnic shelters and accommodation. Entry costs about 50 to 100 pesos. The pools are often closed on Wednesday mornings for water changing and cleaning, so check before you go. It is about 6 km from Mambajao and is best visited in the evening after a day of touring the island.
Opening hours
Approx. 06:00–22:00 (pool cleaned Wednesday mornings)
