Ardent Hot Spring

Short Description

The water of the Ardent Hot Spring is 40°C warm. It is heated by the volcanic activity of Mount Hibok-Hibok. There are several pools and a large recreation area.

Time and Distance

The Ardent Hot Spring are 3.5km off the ring road either at Brgy. Bug-ong or Brgy.Agoho, just 2km north of Mambajao. A visit takes 1 hour. Add spare time for a bath and maybe lunch at the restaurant.

Equipment

Swimming suit, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.

What to see

Nicely arranged pools with warm water in a shadowy place. We did not like the very loud music that covered the whole area.

What to do

Take a warm bath and maybe have lunch or dinner at the restaurant. The Ardent Hot Spring is open from 06am to 10pm (except Wednesday morning, when the pool is emptied for cleaning).

Ardent Hot Spring is also resort. You may rent a room or a bungalow up there. But until 10pm there is loud music.
