Welcome to Molobolo Spring
Tuburan, Cebu
The water from the spring goes through pipes under the pool and
it flows out to the sea. When it has been raining for a few days
you immediately notice that the water turns yellowish
due to the soft soil from the mountains.
There are 2 pools in the area, the bigger one which is more than 7 feet deep
while the smaller pool is designed for kids. What makes the cold spring water
colder are the trees that looked like blanket on top covering the
pool from the rays of the sun. And one thing you should try is staying
on the area where cold water meets sea water, it’s just fun.
How to Get There?
Tuburan is a 2 hour drive from the city of Cebu via transcentral highway, there
are vans for hire in Ayala Terminal that will take you to where my hometown is.
This is the fastest public transportation at 140 pesos per person. There are also
buses in both North and South terminal but it takes around 3-4 hours with not
much difference on the fare. I suggest taking the van not only because it takes
less hours but the view via transcentral highway is nature at its best.
Green scenery, mountains, fresh cold air
and fog (even when the sun is out).
The vans and buses stop at Tuburan center where the boulevard is and from
there you can take a motorbike or tricycle going to the cold springs.
The road towards there is concrete cutting the trip to 15-20 minutes depending
on the driver’s speed. Entrance fee is as low as 5 pesos for adults and 2 pesos for kids.
Parking rates are P100 for four-wheel vehicles and P25 for motorcycles.
There are several cottages available for rent in the area at 150 for the smaller
ones and 300 for the big cottages. There is no corkage fee and
cooking is allowed. There are karaoke machines around
and stores selling snacks and drinks.
Tuburan: The Spring of Hope!!
