Reviews
"Came to swim in the crater hot spring. 94 degrees and so calm and relaxing. Even with about 20 other people for our allotted time. Pretty cool with goggles to see the scuba divers as they came up from the bottom."
"Wow! We absolutely loved this experience! A hot springs inside a crater is a really neat experience! We bought tickets ahead of time (you need to!) and when you get there you check in, change into your swimsuit (or come in your swimsuit bc the changing rooms are very small) and you grab a life jacket (mandatory) and ease yourself into the spring! There is room to float freely or two spots to sit and chat whilst soaking. They also offer scuba diving certifications! If you are already certified you can come her and scuba dive! Very cool to watch them scuba beneath your feet. They also offer snorkeling gear (which we recommend snorkeling! We brought our own gear :)) You swim for about 40 min, the couple running this place was very nice (thanks again!) and we totally recommend this experience! We would do this again!"
"This was just an amazing experience. My girlfriend and I dived here and it was unlike any other dive we've done. We brought only our masks (for comfort). They have everything you need to dive, all you need is to bring your cert. Your 1 hour time block is just the perfect amount of time, since you'll be able to see everything in the hole, chill for a bit, and come back with some air left in your tank. There's not a lot to see down there - it's an empty crater with no wildlife. John was great to work with and got us all set up and briefed for the dive. We asked for permission to take some photos, and were allowed to. They have an easy entry area where you can stand in the water to gear up. You're not supposed to go deeper than 35 feet to prevent silting, and there really isn't anything to see down that deep, since it gets dark and silty. The water felt amazing. No need for a wetsuit - we measured it at 94°F. If you're just here to swim, I could see how it would be a far more tepid experience. There's not a lot of room on the surface, so you just kind of float there. It wasn't very crowded when we visited. Maybe 10 swimmers and 6 divers total. They have 4 changing rooms and you can stash your gear along the sides of the entryway. Parking was easy, as we were able to park about 50 yards from the crater entrance."
"This was such a fun and unique experience! The process was quick and easy, there are 4 or 5 stalls where you can change and then head right into the water. The time given was plenty and the water felt great. Not many people at a time either so plenty of space to swim/float around!"
"Very cool place to check out. Everyone was friendly and the water was nice and warm! We paid extra for the snorkel gear, but I wouldn't recommend that - there really wasn't much to see. They keep the attendance numbers low so that you have plenty of room to swim around. The sign on the door said Max 48, but we didn't even have that many in our group."
