    2. 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.

    This is a quick trip from...

    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

    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.

    Breathtaking view and pools.

    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.

    Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Manila.

    How much does Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila cost?

    +

    Prices start at $180 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Manila usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Manila is not rushed.

    Is Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Manila, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Manila can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Manila and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Manila within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Manila?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Manila experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Manila Food Tour: Introduction to Philippine Street Food, Experience Intramuros with Bamboo Bicycle - Ecotours, Spectacular Manila to Tagaytay: Full-Day Sightseeing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Manila?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Manila?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila?

    +

    Included: Day trip to Hidden Valley; Local guide; Transport by air-conditioned vehicle; Lunch; and Hotel pickup and drop-off on selected hotels only. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 19 listed pickup locations in and around Manila. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Hidden Valley Springs Resort Day Trip from Manila if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Manila. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
