The overview
About Obong Spring
Obong Spring is a refreshing natural spring resort nestled in the highlands of Dalaguete, offering visitors a cool escape from the tropical heat. Fed by natural spring water from the mountains, the crystal-clear pools maintain a refreshingly cold temperature year-round, making it a popular swimming destination for locals and tourists alike. The spring features multiple pools of varying depths, including areas suitable for children and deeper sections for adult swimmers. The water flows continuously from natural underground sources, keeping the pools clean and maintaining their characteristic cold temperature. Surrounding the pools are lush greenery and trees that provide natural shade. Located in the mountainous interior of Dalaguete, Obong Spring is often combined with trips to Osmeña Peak and Casino Peak, which are also in the municipality. The cool mountain climate and cold spring water provide a refreshing contrast to the beaches that Cebu is typically known for. Basic facilities including changing rooms and picnic areas are available.
