Time flies really fast. Standing in front of Splash Island, I smiled at the thought that the first time I was here, I was still single and in school. I’ve been back here so many times, but today is different. Today, I’m taking my two-year old son to this wonderful waterworld. Children naturally love playing in water and I thought my son would enjoy this oasis, which is a few kilometers away from the concrete Metro Manila jungle. When it comes to water fun, I must say the Splash Island is one of the best in the Philippines today.

Anyway, should you intend to visit Splash Island, I suggest you immediately look for a table, hut or place where you could place your things. That’s necessary if you have a few bags with you, but you could always use the locker in case you have not much stuff with you. You can’t bring in water and food, so save yourself the hassle of bringing baon. When you’re ready to go enjoy, change into your swimming gear and take a shower at the Shower Room.
Here are some of the stops you may find interesting: Magellan’s Drop (mat-race ride; downhill slide with you on your belly), Rio Montanosa (also called family raft, the starting point is higher than the Magellan’s Drop, with bigger rafts enough to accommodate the entire family). If you want to warm up your butt and slide, take the Dos Supremos and the King Pilipit (both with no mat or rubber — just you and the slide). If you want to slide but prefer a rubber raft between the surface and your behind, take the Big Bam Boo and the Twisted Palms. If you just want to sit around and imagine that you’re at the beach, try the Agos Grandes, a swimming pool with waves.

Splash Island is not entirely for the teens and adults. Children could also run around and enjoy at the Water Wahoo, although it’s not unusual to see adults also enjoying the place. At the back of Water Wahoo are water slides for children (Twin Coco Knot and Curl-of-the-Orient). I thought my son would be afraid of the slides, but here he is enjoying the kiddie slide (and subsequently came to conquer the tallest slide — the Rio Montanosa).
All the activities will definitely make you hungry, so either buy food from the stalls around the place or at the main foodcourt — Fiesta sa Pulo (among the outlets at the food court is Kenny Roger’s Roasters). After eating, relax a bit by floating around the entire area through the Balsa River. Grab a “raft,” then just go with the flow around the entire place.
Splash Island is not open throughout the year, most probably because the revenue is not enough to cover the operating costs during the rainy season. Splash Island is open only between March and June. This year, I heard they will operate only until June 15, in time for the start of classes.

How much. Admission fee is different in weekdays and weekends. During weekdays, admission fee is P250 for adults and P200 for children/senior citizens. On weekends, admission fee is P325 for adults and P250 for children/senior citizens. Children under 36″ are free of charge.
How to get there. Splash Island is found at the Southwoods Ecocentrum, Binan, Laguna. It’s in the direction of Enchanted Kingdom. After the Susana Heights exit and San Pedro exit of the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), get off through the Southwoods exit then turn right. When you see a fork in the road after around 50 meters, take the left road. Just go straight and you’ll see Splash Island. You could always ask for directions from the guards posted in some intersections of Southwoods Ecocentrum.

We’re planning on going to Splash Island this May 01. Will update you guys on whats new and what’s cool there. Hope we don’t get disappointed. Hehe. It’s been 18 years since I last visited Splash Islands. Hopefully there’s a lot of new slides and pools to enjoy! To be continued……….
We’ll be there on sunday… my daughter’s so looking up to the experience. I hope it’ll be all good. yep! Pls update me CARLO… your feedback will help so I would know what to expect… =)
Just went to Splash Island yesterday May 20, 2009 to check the place out. My niece and I were 1st timers.
We really had GREAT fun and enjoyed the experience, except the pain & time of going up the “stairs” just to go down that fast, and the “carryng your own raft” in most of the slides. Hope there could be any other ways to ease such burden like having an automatic carriage for the rafts so guests wouldn’t have a hard time carryng rafts to flight of stairs. Hmmm…
Other than that, the experience was GREAT! I couldn’t say anything negative about it. The people in the Guest Relations Office and at the Exit were so kind, courteous and hospitable. Though some workers attending some of the slides could need a little more smile on their faces.
With regard security of things, I don’t see any problem with it. Having the lockers are a great help in securing valuables. But hope the fee for such could be lessen, if not, FREE. Guests already paid the entrance fee, and hope it would already be a benefit to have access to atleast 1 free locker.
Hope you’d extend your hours of operation because 9am-5pm is really “BITIN”.
I’ll definitly recommend the place to my family, friends and relatives.
And whoever is reading this comment might as well invite your family, friends and relatives to go to Splash Island and have a GRAND bonding time with each other.
Thank you to the new management (GLOBAL GUTZ) for a great experience!
I will definitely come back for more.
God bless!

Sorry but di kami nagenjoy ng family ko.
Boring na sa Splash Island, sinasara na nila yung mga Water Slides, hindi na lahat bukas sabay sabay, may oras na, ang masama pa, almost 2 hours ka mag iintay saka nila bubuksan, at masama pa, wala pang 30 minutes, sarado na uli, sayang lang P400 mo sa Weekdays at P500 sa Weekends, maniwala kayo sa hindi, isa ako sa mga customer na hindi na babalik sa Splash Island. Sayang lang yung oras na pinunta mo, dahil masasayang lang din sa pag iintay sa wala…
is it true that splash island is open whole year round?? just want to spent my birthday celebration there this coming july 13.
