Situated in the highlands of Brgy. Andap, New Bataan, Davao De Oro, Taytayan Hydro Inland Resort flaunts a scenery of huge rocks drenched in the abundant spring water. The fact that it’s on high elevation makes the waters here colder. New Bataan is 2-3 hours away from Davao City.

The path to the resort is a challenge. You will have to pass through hilly and rocky expanse of the New Bataan. But the bumpy journey will be worth it. What awaits to those who persevere is the calming view of the gushing spring that lies in the midst of the lush green vegetation blanketing the highlands.

If you’re not done yet with adventure, you may also experience the thrill of walking on top of the hydro pipe that can be found within the area. Although there are handrails, still exercise extra precaution as the tube can be slippery especially when wet. At the end, you will be rewarded with an aerial view of the entire resort and the fresh and relaxing view of the surrounding nature.

You have two ways how to enjoy the cold waters in Taytayan. You can either bathe in the spring water that jets out from the rocks or dip yourself into its hillside-carved pool. Either way, the crystal-clear water is sure to reinvigorate your worn-out mind and body. You can’t just refuse an amazing and enthralling experience that this resort has to offer.
