Sungai Gersik Hot Spring

What to expect at the pools

The spring is laid out as three concentric pools under a canopy roof. The outermost ring is warm, the second ring is hot, and the centre pool is hot enough to cook an egg, so it is for egg-boiling, not soaking. Water from the second ring is pumped into a separate children's pool nearby, and SAYS describes the hotter pool as the one for adults and the cooler one for children.

No source gives measured temperatures or a water analysis, so the exact heat and mineral content are unknown. Test each ring with your hand before stepping in, and work inward from the outer ring.

Facilities

A 2017 New Straits Times visit listed a surau, toilets, a children's playground and hawker stalls on site. The 2026 SAYS listing still mentions a small playground nearby. The Google listing shows wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance and toilets, and visitors use the gazebos (wakaf) for picnics.

Google reviews from August to October 2026 confirm entry is still free, but flag upkeep problems. On public holidays in September and October 2026, reviewers found no water coming from the taps in the toilets, surau and showers, so they left sticky after soaking. An August 2026 reviewer said the toilets were dim, monkeys raid gazebos left unattended, and the nearest shops are some way off, with only a vending machine on site. Changing rooms, showers and lockers are not mentioned in any source we found, so come ready to change in the toilets.

Entry is free. There is no ticket counter and nothing to book in advance.

Best time to go

The pools open 9am to 7pm and are closed on Mondays (SAYS, July 2026). We have no crowd data for weekends or school holidays. The pools sit under a canopy roof, so a rainy afternoon doesn't rule out a visit.
