​The natural wonders of Cebu played a significant role of the island being named as one of the best islands in the world. These natural wonders highlight the increasing popularity of ecotourism around the world. One of the places tourists can visit in Cebu is the Gakub Spring located in the town of Dalaguete.

Dalaguete

Dalaguete is known for a number of things, including being the main source of vegetables of Cebu City. It is also the Summer Capital of Cebu due to the cool climate in its upper barangays. Evidence shows that the earliest settlers in the area arrived between 500 and 800 AD. The town was once a visita of the vicarage of Carcar (formerly Siaro or Sialo). Dalaguete eventually became a town as a parish dedicated to San Guillermo was established in 1711.

Gakub Spring

The Gakub Spring is a natural cold spring that was developed and converted into a natural spring swimming pool. The spring is located in Barangay Banhigan, Dalaguete. The pool is situated within a mangrove area. The cool spring water is ideal for visitors who want to cool off after their trip to this southern Cebu town. The water is so clear you can see rocks at the bottom of the pool.

​The Gakoub Spring is one of the top destinations of locals during the weekend. So, you can expect a good-size crowd at the place during weekends. But, the place may not be as crowded as the more famous Obong Spring. While there is no entrance fee at the place, their cottages have a minimal fee if you want to use them.

​Dalaguete may be known as the Vegetable Basket of Cebu and home to Osmena Peak, but it does have a number of other hidden treasures tourists can visit when they find themselves in the town. One of these treasures is the Gakub Spring.
