You get what it says on the box, this cold spring was cold, goose bumpy, feel it cold. Not freezing but be prepared. The ground is sandy and pebbly, you can in places see water bubbling up. It was so clear and refreshing. You look up and green mountain plants surround you. This is a commercial pool but feels natural too. Most people were picnicing under shade, these spaces are rentable. Others were hugging the edges of the pool. This meant it was tricky to find an easy spot to get out as non swimmers congregating on the areas with slight step access. In the end I just said excuse me and got out.

This place is easy to find, signs will guide you from the main road.
It’s 50 pesos pp entrance. The place looks a lot like the pictures - one big pool with fresh water being not to cold but a bit refreshing. Benches to hang out at and there are shops to buy snacks in.

This spring features a continuously flowing crystal clear and ice cold water. Depth levels range from 4 to 6 feet. There is even a children's pool below the larger spring. Cottages, tables and chairs and even inflated tubes are available for rental.

The water is cold because it comes from a spring high on the mountains. One resident told me that the water is full of minerals it collected on top of the mountain which made its way to mineral rocks until it reaches what we know as the Sto. Nino Cold Spring. What I love most in that place are the small fishes which nibbles your dead skin cells.
You could rent a donut tube/lifesaver and just laze away for hours.

We had our lunch here after climbing the "Old Volcanoes and the Station of the Cross" that after paying the entrance fee, i immediately dive in to the pool - "Woooh". It was cold, really really cold. And the water is flowing so you are really sure that it's clean.

Perfect for distressing yourselves in a naturally cold water. Fish spa is also one of the service! Why not try to visit and experience! #FeelCamiguin

Entrance fee is only P20 and you get to enjoy the cold spring and the unlimited fish spa. Huts though (good for up to 12 persons but there's no limit) is P50 for the first four hours. I saw some people spreading their blanket on the grounds so I guess that's allowed as well. There's a big pool where you can swim... small fishes which do not bother you are in the big pool with the cold spring water. Another mini pool for children is situated next to the big pool. Cold... very cold spring water, but the coldness will subside after you have been in the pool for a few minutes. The trick is to make lots of movements so that the body adjusts to the water temperature.
I spent around 30 minutes in the separate small pool where there were lots of doctor fish and let them nibble on my feet. Unlike in the spas which offer fish spa, here there were lots of fish and you can stay unlimited number of... hours? hahaha.
Outside, there are lots of souvenir shop and we got one of the women there to cook food for our lunch and we did NOT regret. No need to look for them, they will approach you soon after you alight from your vehicle in the parking area. Fresh grilled fish (good for 6 conservatively) costs only P240. You can also have them cook or heat food that you brought with you. No corkage fee.
People taking care of the place are VERY nice. You can really feel the friendliness of the people here. Also, unlike other attractions, the Sto. Nino Cold Spring has good restroom facilities. No funny smell, very clean and working facilities. This is definitely a plus. Camiguin is really improving when it comes to management of their attractions.
Love this place! I will definitely go back!

This cold spring lived up to its name.
To my untrained eye, the water seemed unpolluted if a little brackish - if I can make that distinction. It was cold, naturally - quite unusual in a tropical country.
The complex appeared to be somewhat run down: the shelters had an air of decay about them.
I have to rank this lower than the better maintained Ardent Hot Springs that are similarly on lovely Camiguin Island.

Cold Springs are natural and are cold so very useful in the hot sun. Nice place to relax and swim. There is food available and drinks. Small local stalls outside sell souvenirs and clothing.
