We drop you at a small village at the foot of the volcano Mt. Hibok-Hibok , from where your hike to the “SECRET SPRINGS“ starts.

Don’t forget to turn around and enjoy the amazing view over the brilliant green vegetation towards the wide blue ocean! It’s such an amazing view!
Leaving the rice fields behind you, the trek leads you through some shallow creeks and up some narrow paths till you reach the pools of the “SECRET SPRINGS“. After your hike the cold pools are inviting for a cooling and refreshing swim. Or just put your feet into the shallows...some fishes will tickle you while your toes get cleaned with a peeling in this “natural fish spa“.
