Hidden Valley Springs

Situated between two mystical mountains, Mt Makiling and Mt Banahaw, the landscape here encompasses a 110-acre-wide (45-hectare) and 300-foot-deep (91-meter) crater believed to have been formed by a violent volcanic upheaval thousands of years ago. As you explore the area on foot with your guide, admire the lush vegetation, which boasts an impressive collection of rare orchids and more than 153 species of plant life, most of which are endangered and indigenous to the forest. Reach the resort's hot springs, where you’ll find several heated volcanic pools. Take a dip in these natural healing waters and unwind as you listen to the sounds of swaying palms and ferns and cascading waters from the mountainside. At midday, you’ll be served a buffet lunch of traditional Filipino specialties. After your meal, you may take another soak to the hot springs if you wish.

I booked for a Friday in July where I turned out to be the only person on the trip, and fortunately there were very few people there already. They have a nice new locker and shower room and a rustic yet clean dining area with a buffet and freshly-baked and tasty sticky rice delicacies. I got to pick when I could have lunch, assigned between 11:30 and 1:30. I really enjoyed the pools, particularly the more secluded "lover's pool", and the forest ambience helps me relax. If you're going to the falls at the very end of the trail make sure to have the attendant accompany you as the area around there can be very slippery. Keep in mind that 5:30pm on the listing is the time you're expected to get back, not the time you leave the resort. So you have until about 2pm there given Manila's infamous traffic. I hope to go back soon and hopefully find another quiet time to book for.

For a day trip, it may not be entirely worth it. Its a fairly long bus trip to a resort that is mostly just a two sets of cascading pools that vary in temperature from luke warm to cool. The food is bland and the place can be quite crowded, which really detracts from the experience. Overall, there are probably better ways to see nature or to sit in hot pools. This trip does neither all that well.

We loved our tour to Hidden Valley Springs with our favorite guides Omar and Oswald. The springs were very beautiful and there was a waterfall we hiked to. Would love to go back someday.
