Welcome to Malumpati Cold Spring, a refreshing river experience located in Antique, Philippines. This serene spot is perfect for those seeking an escape into nature’s embrace, away from the crowds.
Getting There:
Your journey begins with a short, 10-minute public ferry ride from Boracay to Caticlan Jetty Port. From there, a scenic 30-minute van ride takes you to the tranquil Malumpati Cold Spring.
The Experience
Upon arrival, the allure of the cold, clear water will make it hard to resist diving in immediately! The water is refreshingly cold, crystal clear, and perfect for a swim. You can also rent a tube to float lazily or find a spot for diving to add some adventure.
Tubing Adventure
We decided to try the tubing adventure, which began with a 20-minute walk along a picturesque trail. Though the walk was a bit of a workout, it was well worth it—imagine crystal-clear water, fresh mountain air, and stunning river and mountain views all around. Our tour guide made the experience even more enjoyable, providing both fun and informative commentary while also doubling as a great photographer!
After all the fun and adventure, there's nothing like enjoying a picnic lunch by the river. We brought along some food and a few cold beers, making it the perfect way to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Malumpati.
On the way back to Boracay, we were treated to a breathtaking sunset, making the travel time worth every minute. If you’re looking to explore beyond Boracay’s beaches and discover a tranquil slice of nature, Malumpati Cold Spring is a must-visit destination.
