Located in Barangay Sta. Ana in the municipality of Calatagan, Aquaria Water Park is part of Calatagan South Beach (CaSoBe), a vast seaside residential and resort community that is continually being developed by Landco Lifestyle Ventures. It is a full-service resort with rooms, cabanas, and three dining places. It also has swimming pools with varying depths and features a thrilling water slide. Although it bears “water park” in its name, don’t expect a great variety in the slides. Think of it as a more exciting family resort.
While it has an exciting water slide and several swimming pools, the resort lies along the beach, so you can also enjoy the company of nature as you laze on the supple, cream-colored sand and watch the gorgeous sunset.
For those planning to visit soon, here are the things you need to know before you go.
Do we need to make a reservation?

How to get to Aquaria Water Park from Manila?
Aquaria Water Park is located in Barangay Sta. Ana on the western coast of Calatagan in Batangas. Coming from Manila, the travel time is three to four hours, depending on the traffic conditions.
Private Car
Going to Calatagan from Manila, the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) is the fastest route. Another route is via Aguinaldo Highway. Whichever route you choose, road tripping is now easier when you consult Waze or Google Maps for direction.
- From SLEX, you can either take Santa Rosa Exit or Mamplasan Exit. The latter is a faster route, linking you to the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX). Ready your Autosweep and EasyTrip (if taking CALAX).
- Whatever route you take, you will be driving along Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road. Continue driving until you reach Tagaytay Rotonda.
- Continue driving along Tagaytay-Nasugbu Road. You will reach the Batangas-Cavite boundary, driving past the arc with a “Welcome to Nasugbu” greeting.
- Take a right turn when you reach the Palico Rotonda or junction. The landmarks are Jollibee and Caltex.
- Continue driving along Palico-Nasugbu Highway until you reach the Lian-Nasugbu Intersection/Rotonda. Your landmarks are Shakey’s and Shell gasoline station.
- Take the Calatagan-Lian Highway, passing through Lian town proper. Continue driving until you reach the boundary of Calatagan and Lian.
- Continue driving through Calatagan town proper. You will pass by Lago de Oro. Follow the signs.
- Continue driving, passing by Stilts. Shortly after, you will see the CaSoBe entrance to your right.
Alternative Route: Another route from SLEX is to continue driving to STAR Tollway then take Batangas City Exit. Then drive through the towns of Bauan, Lemery, Calaca, and Balayan to reach Calatagan.
Public Transportation
- Make your way to DLTBCo Buendia Bus Terminal, located just next to the LRT Gil Puyat Station. There are also buses bound for Calatagan at PITX.
- Board the bus bound for Calatagan. The fare is around P300. Then, get off at Calatagan Town Proper.
- Hail a tricycle to CaSoBe (or Aquaria). The fare is P200-250.
What is the admission procedure?
- At the gate, the guard will ask you about your business and your booking confirmation. He will then instruct you to proceed to the parking lot.
- There’s a staff member who will assist you at the parking lot. After that, you will be ushered to the registration area.
- Check in and register. Pay the ecological fee, which costs P30 per person. This is government-mandated.
Welcome and enjoy!

Monday, Wednesday to Sunday - Office Hours
8:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Day Tour vs Overnight Stay
Which is better depends on how much time you have, what you want to experience, and what your mode of transportation will be. The place is not too big or complicated and is pretty easy to explore. If you have your own ride, it’s possible to have a grand time even on a day tour.
If you want to explore the water park unhurriedly and you have the budget and the luxury of time, then you may opt to book an overnight stay. This is also a wiser choice if you’re taking the bus and the tricycle because public transportation options are limited and do not operate 24/7.

Camping is not allowed. So, if you’d rather spend the night at CaSoBe and make the most of your visit, you have two options: the pricey Crusoe Cabins and the more budget-friendly Cocoons.
You can save on costs by using our promo code AGODATPT for up to P6000 discount. That’s actually 8-10% OFF, capped at USD 100, so that’s roughly P6000 based on the current exchange rate. To automatically redeem this discount, just visit www.thepoortraveler.net/agoda or, if you prefer to use the Agoda mobile app, on the bottom menu, tap on the DEALS button and enter the promo code AGODATPT on the coupon field. Search and book a hotel as usual, but upon checkout, enter AGODATPT again. Yes, you need to enter it twice for it to work.

Other Tips for the Poor Traveler
- Day trippers can only stay until 6:00 PM. If you want to make the most out of your day, arrive at 8:00 AM, which means you will have to leave Manila at 5:00 AM.
- Protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Bring sun protection like hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
- Please use coral-friendly brands. A study conducted by the Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology revealed that many sunblock products contain chemicals like oxybenzone, benzophenone, and parabens that are harmful to marine life. Choose the ones that do not contain these chemicals.
- Wear comfortable footwear or aqua shoes. The sand can be too hot when the sun is high, especially at noon.
- Follow the property’s safety protocols and procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I bring outside food? As of writing, only snacks and chips are allowed inside the water park. Outside heavy meals and food are prohibited. You can bring in outside drinks, but they are subject to corkage fees.

- Can I use the restroom or shower if I’m on a day tour? Of course! The rates are inclusive of free use of swimming facilities — pool, beach, and shower rooms.
- When is the best time to go? Weekdays (Mondays to Fridays) in off-peak season.
