Itinerary

After a hotel pickup in Manila, make the drive along scenic country roads to Hidden Valley Springs Resort in the town of Alaminos in the Province of Laguna in the Philippines.

Hidden Valley is located between two mystical mountains: Mt. Makiling and Mt. Banahaw. The landscape is highlighted by a 110-acre-wide, 300-foot-deep crater believed to have been formed by a violent volcanic upheaval thousands of years ago. Natural vegetation flourishes in this valley and boasts an impressive collection of rare orchids and other exotic flora. There are several naturally heated, volcanic water pools available for those wanting to take a refreshing dip. 

A delicious buffet lunch of traditional Filipino cuisine will be served around noon. 

At the end of the day, the tour concludes with a return trip to Manila and a hotel drop-off.

This was a great opportunity to see a magical place. Richard was an awesome tour guide., and very knowledgeable. Very easy to talk to. Since I was a solo traveler, and the only one booked for that day, it was really special to have the trip go well. Ronald was a great driver, and a pleasure to talk to as well.

This is a quick trip from Manila and a fabulous way to spend the day. Our driver and tour guide were on time, flexible with our schedule, and fantastic. We went during the week and had the pools almost to ourselves! Highly recommend.

Amazing place to visit

If you are a nature lover, this is everything you would dream for! The landscaper really did a splendid job mixing up nature and man-made pools.

A wonderful excursion

Nice and quiet daytrip!

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.
