Maquinit Hot Spring
A rare seawater hot spring in the Philippines. Stone pools beside the mangroves, at about 38 to 40°C, make a classic soak after climbing Mount Tapyas.
Maquinit Hot Spring is about 20 minutes by tricycle from Coron town. Hot spring water rises from underground and mixes with seawater before being channeled into two large stone pools. The area is surrounded by coconut palms and mangroves, and a wooden boardwalk leads to the beach. Entry is about ₱200, and it stays open until around 10:00 p.m. Soaking at night lets you see the stars. The water is salty and hot, so do not soak for long, and keep valuables safe. It is often combined with Mount Tapyas as a 'sunset and hot spring' half-day tour. A tricycle for hire costs about ₱500.
