  • Camiguin Day Tours

Camiguin is a small island, often overlooked by the majority of tourists in the Philippines. Once only accessible from Cebu via flight, or a grueling boat ride from several locations such as Bohol , now you could arrive to Camiguin by flight from Manila as well! This is wonderful news for those who wish to enjoy a vivid tropical island, with adventurous tours and day trips, and avoid the crowds of the busier islands.

Unlike the more touristy destinations , Camiguin offers much more exciting tours, that require a higher level of physicality and getting your hands a little dirty. In return, you’ll experience nature unspoiled and in the most authentic way. Also, unlike other off the beaten path destinations that are mainly frequented by locals only, it offers a much higher level of service and is suitable for international tourists as well. In our opinion, this is one of the best spots in the Philippines for people who like to experience lesser known islands and truly immerse with nature. Inquire Now About These Tours The tours we offer in Camiguin are done with the most professional guides and the best available vehicles. We offer tours in both a multicab, a Tuk Tuk type vehicle or a small van/car. The tours in Camiguin are long – a whole day trip, with the exception of Hibok Hibok Volcano track which is from dusk to the end of the day.

Camiguin Day Tours Quick Facts

  • Prefect for : Nature lovers, most tours require good fitness level.
  • Best time to visit : All year round (rainiest months are December and January)
  • Tour packages include : Transportation, guide, entrance fees.
  • Starting point : Hotel pickup.
  • Duration : Whole day.

What to do?

As mentioned above, Camiguin is full of natural sites. Most notable are its hot and cold water springs, waterfalls, exquisite snorkeling spots, the volcanoes and beautiful islands with white and black sand beaches. As we stressed, a certain level of physical fitness is required, as you’ll have to swim, walk and climb throughout these day trips.

Unlike many other destinations that offer mainly island hopping activities, Camiguin also offers a lot of inland attractions that are typical of tropical and volcanic environments. Therefore, if you want to skip some of the activities, we advise that you’ll skip the island hopping, and visit the volcano, falls, and unique snorkeling spots like the sunken cemetery (that sunk due to the eruption of Hibok Hibok in 1871).

Camiguin Island Hopping Tour

The island hopping tour in Camiguin visits two different islands on two different sides of the main island. The first one is White Island, a snake-like sandbar in front of Pabua Rocky Village area. The second island is Mantigue Island, a relatively remote island on the eastern side of Camiguin. It takes about 30 minutes to arrive at Mantigue, and once there you’ll explore the small island, enjoy its beach and snorkel in its beautiful reef. The marine sanctuary in Mantigue is home to lots of fish, including a school of trevallies.

Because of the distance between the two islands, we’ll not use the same boat, and will travel through the mainland between the White Island Wharf, and our bangka boat on eastern Camiguin. As we’ll go through Mambajao, the biggest town in Camiguin, we will also have a short stop over where we’ll see the 1914 marker (that commemorates the unity of the villages into a township), and have the chance to buy souvenirs. The price starts at 50 USD per person for a group tour.

Inclusions: Multicab or van transport, hotel/seaport/airport pickup, entrance and environmental fees, shed and table rental, tour guide, 1 bottle of water per person, boat fee and light snack.

Camiguin Countryside Tour

This whole day tour of Camiguin's countryside is among the best out of any of the Philippine Islands because it showcases a lot of different iconic natural sites for a tropical island. Not only that it takes you to the inland of the island, you’ll also visit the most exquisite snorkeling spots. Due to the large number of places you’ll visit on this tour, prepare to spend around 9 hours outside, as well as a lot of energy.

We’ll start the day visiting Kibila White Beach in order to visit its giant clam sanctuary, where you’ll see numerous clams as big as 1.2 meters and weighing as much as 200 kg. From there we will continue to Katibawasan Waterfalls, 70 meters tall plunging into a pool you can swim in. We will visit three different water springs - Ardent Hot Springs, Soda Water Pool, and Sto. Nino cold spring Pool. We’ll also visit the old volcano, Tungatok viewdeck, Katunggan Park, and the Sunken Cemetery, where we’ll snorkel around the sunken graves older than 1871.

Inclusions: Transportation via Van/Multicab, entrance and environmental fees, tour guide, shed and table rental, boat fee to cross marker at Sunken Cemetery, 1 bottle of water per person.

Price: 50 USD for a group tour.

Combination Tour

For those who want to visit White Island, and prefer to skip Mantigue Island, or leave the serious island hopping to other destinations in your Philippines itinerary, we also offer a combo tour. You can visit Whitle island alone, and then continue to all major spot of the Camiguin Countryside tour except for the Giant Clam Sanctuary. Don’t worry as you’ll be able to see some giant clams in the Sunken Cemetery as well.

The tour inclusions are as of the Countryside tour as well as the boat and entrance fee to White Island. This tour is slightly more expensive and starts with 50 USD per person in a group tour.

Hibok Hibok Volcano Trek

Hibok-Hibok Volcano, a 1332m giant that overlooks the quiet town of Mambajao, offers a most exciting trek. This is the longest day trip we have in Camiguin, and also the most difficult one. You’ll start the day at 04:00, meeting our guide who will take you to the starting point of the trek.

You’ll then start ascending to the crater, which will take roughly 5 hours, where you’ll have a break to appreciate the flat grassland surrounded by a bamboo forest. Then you’ll hike to the old crater, which was blown away in one of the past volcanic eruptions, for a great view of White Island as well as other more distant islands including Mantigue. You’ll then start descending on a different route that ends at Ardent Hot Springs. Expect to arrive in Ardent Springs at 15:30-16:00.

As you climb up and down, you’ll go through the lush and dense tropical jungle. As you reach higher altitudes you’ll notice that the trees and plants change due to the difference in temperature. The peak and higher parts of the trek can be quite cold, especially on rainy days. Therefore it’s advised to bring a longer shirt with you. Also, you’ll have to bring your own water and food for the trek.

Please take no less than 2.5 liters and bring as much food as you wish. We think it’s better to take lighter things, and not saucy, messy meals. Bread and simple rice meals will be great. You could ask your resort to prepare it for you in advance as you won’t be able to buy food in the morning before you start.

The inclusions for this trek will be the guide, and the commuting fees. You will use public transportation for this tour, as it’s very convenient. It costs 75 USD per person in a group of 4 people.

How to plan my Camiguin tour package

Since we recommend to spend at least 3 nights in Camiguin, we think it’s best to have the first day free to get settled after the travel (also as you’ll mostly arrive in camiguin on a later part of the day). If you’ll have the time you could hit the beach, perhaps some of the unique black sand beaches. If you’re planning to take the Hibok Hibok Trek, the second day is the best so you’ll have time to recover from it, as it’s physically demanding. The third day will be perfect for either the island hopping or the countryside tours.

If you only have 3 days, we think that the countryside tour will be more rewarding, but if you stay for more time, you could do both, or perhaps take the combo tour instead. If you’re visiting other destinations in the Philippines that offer a variety of island hopping tours, it might be worthwhile for you to take the countryside tour in Camiguin over the island hopping one, as it’s not the specialty of the island. In case you are thinking about a longer or a multi-destination vacation in the Philippines, visit our vacation packages page for more ideas, or check our Camiguin Packages which all include these tours and can be easily combined with other locations.

Travel Guide to Camiguin + 3 Days Itinerary

First of all, let me say that Camiguin Island is an extremely underrated destination in Mindanao. I wasn’t expecting much seeing as most local travelers only go here on a day trip, but my friend and I decided to stay here for 3 days, and oh boy, was I blown away. In particular, I love the amazing snorkeling spots in Mantigue Island and Giant Clam Sanctuary. I also liked the mountain island vibes that I wouldn’t mind staying here for several days in the future.

A little background about Camiguin:

Camiguin Island is a pearl-shaped island in the northern area of Mindanao. It’s dubbed the “ Island Born of Fire ” since it was formed due to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in the past. Interestingly, it has one of the highest densities of volcanoes in the world — with a land area of 282 square kilometers (92 square miles), it’s home to 7 volcanoes with Mount Hibok-Hibok considered the remaining active volcano.

The island is blessed with nature attractions including white-sand beaches and sand bars, snorkeling and diving spots, natural hot and cold springs, and waterfalls tucked away in the mountains.

Here’s your complete travel guide to Camiguin Island! Don’t forget to read our separate post on Best Things to Do in Camiguin Island .

Via Mambajao Airport

Via laguindingan airport (cagayan de oro), via butuan airport, how to get around, what to see in camiguin, 3 days itinerary to camiguin, where to eat, where to stay, budget and expenses, where to book your camiguin tour, travel tips, what to read next:, how to get to camiguin.

There are different ways to get to Camiguin Island.

Camiguin has its own airport located in its capital Mambajao. Currently, flight schedules are only on selected days.

Cagayan de Oro is a common jump-off point to Camiguin Island. From Laguindingan Airport, it takes about 5 hours to reach Camiguin Island.

  • From the airport, ride a van to Agora Terminal. Travel time is 45 min to 1 hour.
  • From the terminal, ride a bus or van to Balingoan Port. Travel time is 2-2.5 hours. Alternatively, you can also ride a van in Gaisano Mall parking lot in the city proper.
  • From Balingoan Port, ride a ferry to Benoni Port in Camiguin. Travel time is 1 hour. Ferry departs every hour, starting at 4:30AM to 6:30PM (last trip).

We suggest taking the bus instead of the van from Agora Terminal to Balingoan Port especially if you are the first passengers because waiting can take up to 45 minutes or more.

The earliest trip from Balingoan Port to Benoni Port is 4-4:30AM and the last trip back to Balingoan Port is 4PM.

  • From Butuan Airport, take a taxi to the bus terminal.
  • Ride a bus en route to Cagayan and get off at Balingoan Port. Travel time is 2 hours.

Camiguin Island is also accessible from Cebu and Bohol via ferry.

There are habal-habals, motorbikes, and jeepneys you can ride for commuting.

For the island tour, here are your options :

  • Rent a motorbike. Make sure to bring your driver’s license.
  • Avail of a habal-habal tour (good up to 2 people). For groups, you can also avail of a private car or multicab tour (seating capacity depends on vehicle type).

These are the top tourist spots in Camiguin Island , which you can explore during an island tour in 2 days.

  • White Island . White Island is the most iconic tourist spots in Camiguin. It’s It’s a naked sand bar ideal for swimming and sunbathing, similar to Naked Island in Siargao . Mount Hibok-Hibok and Mount Vulcan can be seen in its backdrop. The best time to here is on weekdays, on mornings so it wouldn’t be too hot yet!

White Island in Camiguin

  • Tongatok View Point . This is a viewdeck you can pass by on your way to the Walkway or Sunken Cemetery. It offers mountainside and coastal views. It’s easy to miss, but the guides are familiar with the island and know about this spot so just tell them you want to stop by here.

Tongatok Viewdeck in Camiguin

  • Walkway to the Old Volcano . This is a hiking trail to the old volcano aka Mount Vulcan. Trek for 30-40 minutes to reach the summit, where you can see a view of the surrounding mountainside and ocean, including the Sunken Cemetery.

View from Walkway to the Old Volcano

  • Sunken Cemetery . This is a fantastic place for snorkeling. You can see different fishes, corals, and even giant clams! It’s also a popular place for sunset viewing.

Sunken Cemetery in Camiguin

  • Sto. Nino Cold Spring . A cold spring to cool off from the summer heat. It has a large pool that goes up to 7 feet deep, with water coming down from Mount Mambajao. There are cottages and tables for rent inside the resort. There are also food stalls where you can buy food & drinks. Another place you can visit is the Saay Cold Spring .

Sto. Nino Cold Spring in Camiguin

  • Bura Soda Spring . This is another spring pool area, with water that is said to taste like carbonated water. The pool isn’t as cold as that in Sto. Nino Cold Spring, so depending on your preference you might want to swim here instead. Fun fact: the resort has a tap where you can taste the spring water!
  • Ardent Hot Spring . This resort features a cascade of six hot springs. Recently, the water from the springs have gone lukewarm. Local says a recent earthquake might have blocked the source of hot water. (This is the only place we skipped in our itinerary.)
  • Old Church Ruins . Also called Guiob Church or Catarman Church. This is the remnant of a 16th-century Spanish Catarman Church, which was buried during the eruption of Mount Vulcan back in 1871. The eruption wiped out the island’s then-capital, Cotta Bato. You can still the main church structure, bell tower, and chapel. As with other buildings at that era, the structures are made with corals.

Old Church Ruins in Camiguin Island

  • Mantigue Island . This is one of my favorite spots in Camiguin Island, and I recommend that you allot several hours to snorkel around the island. Mantigue Island is considered a marine sanctuary — it is fringed with white-sand beaches and beautiful reefs. There are cottages in the island. Snorkeling gears are available for rent.

Mantigue Island in Camiguin

  • Katunggan Mangrove Park . A small mangrove forest where you can see the species of black mangroves. There’s a pathway that goes around the mangrove park and cottages where you can sit down and rest. You can also swim in the water among the mangroves during high tide or in the open sea. It’s similar to the Mangrove Park in Bantayan Island in Cebu.
  • Giant Clam Sanctuary . This is another one of our favorite places in Camiguin! It is home over a thousand giant clams. A guide will take you to the nursery area where there are young giant clams a few months old and then to the deeper part of the ocean where you can see giant clams spanning as much as 4 feet in length. The corals here are also impressive — they are HUGE and thriving.

Giant Clam Sanctuary in Camiguin

  • Tuasan Falls . This is a 25-meter-high waterfall located along the mountain roads in Barrio Mainit. It used to be a secret, but road developments have eventually led to its public discovery. Tuasan means “natuklasan” (discovered). The waterfall has a knee-deep basin where you can take a short refreshing dip.

Tuasan Falls in Camiguin

  • Katibawasan Falls . Katibawasan Falls is a 70-meter-high waterfall with a small man-made basin. The flow of water has weakened over the years, but it’s still worth visiting even if only for taking pictures. There are cottages around the waterfall where you can rest or have a picnic.

Katibawasan Falls in Camiguin

For other options, refer to our separate guide on the Best Tourist Spots in Camiguin Island .

Here is our 3 days itinerary to Camiguin. You can use this as a guide on your visit.

We spent 3 days in Camiguin which I feel is just enough. On our third day, we just rested in our accommodation in Bintana sa Paraiso.

Here are other things to note:

  • If you’re coming from CDO city proper, it’s best to leave at 3-4AM so you can arrive at the island at 7-8AM. Similarly, if your return flight is via Laguindingan Airport in CDO, make sure that it’s a late-night schedule because the airport is about 5 hours away from Camiguin, not counting the traffic.
  • I recommend spending at least 2 days here for the island tour. If you plan on doing other activities such as hiking or diving, extend your stay for a few days more.

There are various eateries in Camiguin. Here are the most recommended ones:

Daos Beach Bistro - one of the best restaurants in Camiguin

  • Check Point Camiguin . A BBQ style restaurant.
  • Hagahay Cafe . A restaurant that serves juices and smoothie bowls.
  • Penisular Kape Art . A restaurant that serves Spanish dishes.
  • I 8 See Food . A local favorite that serves seafood. Group meals are available.
  • Daos Beach Bistro . A new restaurant serving delicious vegan food.

Kat in Bintana sa Paraiso - Binunsaran

Most people stay in the capital of the island: Mambajao . It’s considered a tourist hub with resorts & homestays, restaurants, and shops. That saying, there are plenty of good accommodations around the island depending on your preferences.

We stayed in Bintana sa Paraiso – Binunsaran , which is a beautiful luxury mountain resort. We also wrote a separate guide for the Best Resorts in Camiguin .

Here are the rates in Camiguin ( Updated as of 2023 ):

Budget depends on how many you are in a group. For a group of 4-5 people, a safe budget would be P4000 per person.

We recommend getting the tour service of Kuya Lehmann of L&M Camiguin Tour Services . Kuya Lehmann was our guide during our 2-day island tour. He’s very friendly and professional and he gave us tips on how to maximize our vacation in the island.

He also offers complete packages including accommodation, transportation, and entrance fees and boat fees. You may also include meals and snorkeling gears you can use for the duration of your stay. Rate depends on the number of pax, so it’s best to contact him directly.

Let him know that I (Katherine / Tara Lets Anywhere) referred you!

Contact: Kuya Lehmann (L&M Camiguin Tour Services): Facebook | 09156498840

Kat in Camiguin Island

  • It’s best to travel with a group to save costs. If you’re solo, you can share boat rentals with other joiners.
  • Bring your own mask and snorkel so you can save money from rental fees.
  • The best time to go here is during the summer months. During bad weather, boat tours may be cancelled.

Camiguin  is believed to be one of the Philippines’ most beautiful island, a virtual paradise, as the island allows visitors to experience a glimpse of untouched beauty in its entirety.

The people of Camiguin continue their idyllic and simple existence sheltered and unfazed by the virulent pressures of today’s accelerated lifestyles. Camiguin has become an ideal venue for adventure tourists to take part in activities such as Game fishing, trekking, rappelling, and mountain climbing, among others.

Ferry Ride to Camiguin Island

Camiguin Island is a pear-shaped volcanic island resting along the northern tip of Mindanao. It is approximately 90 kilometers north of Cagayan de Oro, and is bounded by four bodies of water: Bohol Sea to the north, Macajalar Bay to the west, Gingoog Bay to the southeast, and Butuan Bay to the east. It is the smallest province in northern Mindanao, with a land area of only 29,187 hectares, and is composed of five towns: Mambajao (the capital), Mahinog, Guinsiliban, Sagay, and Catarman. Being an island with volcanic origins, it even plays host to seven volcanoes, including the still-active Mt. Hibok-Hibok. Aside from being small in land area, the province is the second smallest province in the Philippines in terms of population with only 72, 232 persons inhabiting the island.

But being small doesn’t stop Camiguin from being the wonderful destination that it is. It has lush forests, volcanoes, eternal hot and cold springs, pristine patches of black and white beaches, majestic waterfalls, exotic marine life, blue-ridge mountains, and serene surroundings. Its idyllic lifestyle and jovial people coupled with its glorious past make Camiguin a destination really worth visiting.

Cultures & Dialects

The Camiguin culture is a mixture of both Boholano and Cebuano culture. It is very colorful and creative. The people are deeply religious, hospitable and friendly. Cebuano is the major dialect in the Province. However, in the towns of Sagay and Guinsiliban, where most of the indigenous tribes reside, the Kinamiguin dialect is still spoken. Kinamiguin is derived from the Manobo dialect with some mixture of Boholano.

Camiguin Travel Guide

Ultimate Camiguin Travel Guide: How to get there, Budget Itinerary, Attractions, and so much more!

It was with typhoon Lando that my third visit in this ‘favorite’ island of mine that I’m going to share with you today took place.

Camiguin Typhoon

I’m not sure why every time I set foot on this mystery island it seems to be accompanied most often with threatening clouds, skies, or seas and that the weather is likely to be bad. You see, my first visit here was when Typhoon Sendong came, and now, my third time, it’s Typhoon Lando.

A friend of mine even shared a story to me about this particular island, wherein according to him, it is in this island that all the negative energies in this side of the planet often converge and congregates.

Mystery Island

Nevertheless, like every adventure story there is, nothing’s stopping the characters in venturing out the rough seas and stormy weather, amidst whatever story there is behind this majestic island.

So what’s the island I’m talking about? Yes, it is CAMIGUIN ISLAND (you probably guessed it already in the title! haha).

How to Go to Camiguin?

This is the route me and my friends took coming from Davao city.

Davao >> Cagayan De Oro >> Balingoan Port >> Camiguin

Here’s our Camiguin Weekend Itinerary

  • Oct. 16, 2016 (Friday): Boarded 9pm Bus from Ecoland Terminal Davao City to Cagayan de Oro (6-7hrs travel time).
  • 5am arrival in CDO, head to Balingoan + ferry to Camiguin,
  • 12noon arrival at Camiguin
  • Afternoon Camiguin DIY tour
  • Oct. 18 (Sunday) : Camiguin inland tour (White Island tour’s not available this day due to Typhoon Lando)
  • Morning tour to White Island (pwede na mag tour! yay!)
  • 12 Noon: Check out from homestay in Camiguin
  • 2pm: Took ferry to Balingoan
  • 4pm: Van from Balingoan to Cagayan de Oro
  • 6pm: Head back to Davao

davao to camiguin tour package

  • Take Rural Transit or Bachelor Express bus . They ply the BuDa route (Bukidnon-Davao). It will take you around 6-7 hours. Aircon nonstop first class with toilet will cost you 600 Pesos. There are discounts for students. It is best to take the bus at night and just sleep it off. When you wake up in the morning, voilah! you’ll already arrive in Cagayan de Oro!
  • Upon arrival at Agora Bus Terminal in CDO, take a bus heading to BALINGOAN . There will be buses available in the same terminal. Take note that there are a lot of pesky van barkers who’ll follow you and insist to take you where you are heading. Just ignore them though. I always felt more safe riding in a bigger bus than a smaller van anyway.
  • The trip from Cagayan de Oro to Balingoan will take you around 2 hours with multiple stops (no nonstop buses). Just enjoy the view though. Tip: Pick a seat on the LEFT SIDE of the bus to enjoy the scenic coastal view along the way!
  • Upon arrival at Balingoan Bus terminal, no need to take a tricycle, you could just walk to the Balingoan Port , head left, cross the main road and in 300-500 meters you’ll reach the port.

davao to camiguin tour package

  • Direct ferries ply from Balingoan to Camiguin daily, almost every hour. Fare is at 170 Pesos + environmental tax of 5pesos and terminal fee of 15pesos.

Ferry to Camiguin

Here are some wacky snapshots while aboard the ferry.

Boat to Camiguin

After an hour or two, you’ll disembark at the Port of Benoni (Camiguin’s main Port for ferries coming from Cagayan de Oro). You could arrange a multicab or van from your accommodation to fetch you from Benoni Port as this is 30 minutes away from Camiguin’s center in Mambajao and an hour away from Yumbing (where most accommodations I recommend are located). Rates are usually from 450-600 per vehicle.

Benoni Port Camiguin

How to go from Benoni to Mambajao and Yumbing in budget?

If you are in a budget travel though, you could take a public multicab outside Benoni Port to take you to Mambajao (fare is 30 pesos only), then from Mambajao take a tricycle or motorella to Yumbing for 10 pesos only. Not recommended though if you have a lot of hand carry baggage as the motorella is a bit small that you’ll share with other passengers.

Where to Stay in Camiguin?

Having visited Camiguin for the third time already, I’ve stayed in various budget accommodations. Below are some of my recommendations based on experience. I suggest choosing an accommodation located in YUMBING in Camiguin (30 minutes away from Mambajao, Camiguin’s center). This area’s near the beach if you’d like to go strolling on your free time, various recommended resto’s are also walking distance. This is also where the famous Paras Beach Resort in Camiguin is located. In front of it are lined with these affordable accommodations though for budget backpackers like us:

  • Tel#: (088) 387-9018 / Call/Text : (+63) 09173107085

Camigun Fast Facts and Trivia

Camiguin

  • The name “Camiguin “ is derived from the word “Kamagong,” the name of a tree in the ebony family. Original inhabitants of the island were the Manobos from Surigao.
  • Do you know that Camiguin is the smallest island with the most number of volcanoes per square kilometer than any other island on earth ?
  • It is also the only place in the Philippines which has more volcanoes (7) than towns (5).

Amazing isn’t it?

Camiguin Island Tour

With only 64.5 kilometers of concrete circumferential road, the visitors are wowed by the accessibility of all the tourists spots. In a day, one can experience the sense of awe and wonder the scenic spots evoke.

davao to camiguin tour package

Camiguin, the island, borne of volcanic fire, is a paradise. The geologic events of the past have carved the island perfect for adventure seekers. Here, one could trek the Mt. Hibok-hibok , or bathe in the natural hot spa in Ardent Hot Spring, swim in the cool waters of Sto. Nino Cold Spring , the Soda Water Pool , and the three falls – Katibawasan, Tuasan, and Pamonglo .

Camiguin Inland Tour

It has two famous islets, the White Island and the Mantigue , both endowed with white and powdery sands, and pool-like water forms where the weary can dip and relax. So many wonders, so many scenic spots, yet taking only few hours of your precious time to experience them all.

Camiguin White Island

Camiguin Mainland Tour Rates

So how much is an inland tour in Camiguin? Note that this DOES NOT include the White Island tour (that goes for a separate fee ber boat).

Inland tour in Camiguin are usually done in vans and multicabs (my preferred option coz I just love the open air and the scenic views!). A full day tour will usually cost around 1,500 to 2,000 Pesos for each multicab.

Camiguin Multicab Tour

We were able to haggle from 1,700 offered price to 1,500 (divided by the 5 of us, that’s 300 pesos for each person, not bad!)

So what are you waiting for, let’s go explore & experience Camiguin one by one!

Must Sees in Camiguin!

  • 10:00 am –pick up from accommodation
  • 10:30 — Tongatoc Cove
  • 11:00 — Walkway to the Old Volcano (entrance fee is 5/head)
  • 11:30 — Cross Marker and Sunken Cemetery (100 pesos per boat of 5-6pax)
  • 12:30 – Lunch (and swim!) at Soda Water Park (entrance fee is 30/head)
  • 2:00 pm – Tuasan Falls ( no entrance fee )
  • 3:00 pm – Sto. Niño Cold Spring (entrance fee is 30/head)
  • 4:00 pm – 16th Century Guiob Catarman Church Ruins
  • 5:00 pm – Ardent Hot Spring Resort (entrance fee is 30/head)
  • 6:00 pm – back to accommodation

Magic Number is 30!

Just something I’ve noticed, here in Camiguin, almost all entrance fees to resorts, hot springs, cold springs, etc. cost 30 PESOS! This is something implemented by their local government. So when you’re in Camiguin, just remember the number 30 (happens to be my favorite number too!)

Camiguin Attractions

1 . Tongatoc Cove Overview Spot

Just a quick stop here for a photo opt on this overlooking spot. The view’s simply amazing and stunning (add to that the boulder like waves below brought by typhoon Lando during our visit).

Tongatoc Cove Overview

2. Walkway to the Old Volcano

Walkway to Old Volcano and Stations of the Cross is an 8 kilometer path with 14 human-sized stations situated at Mt. Vulcan in Barangay Bonbon, Catarman. The spot is actually one of the famous tourist destination in Camiguin Island especially during the Lenten Season as it serves as a pilgrimage site to Roman Catholic devotees.

Camiguin Walkway To Old Volcano

3. Cross Marker and Sunken Cemetery

The Sunken Cemetery of Camiguin Island marks the swept remains of the island’s rested locals. Driven underwater when Mt. Vulcan Daan erupted in 1870’s, the large cross has served the town’s people, as well as the tourists, a scenic spot to memorialize the departeds buried there.

Sunken Cemetery of Camiguin Island

Only the crosses of the tombs can be seen above the water, as a reminder of the doomed cemetery, though some of the tombs may be visible during low tide.

Camiguin Sunken Cemetery

Tip: For fun photos and shots to add to your album, I tell you most boatmen here in Camiguin that will accompany you to the cross marker do know amazing fun poses and camera tricks! Just give them an extra tip!

Camera Tricks

4. Soda Water Park 

A pool filled with natural streaming soda water from the volcanic springs of Bura. It’s probably the only Soda spring in the Philippines. It has great scenery as its cold water provides a refreshing splash to bathers and picnickers.

Soda Water Park

Here I am and below me is source of the soda water flowing in this pool. I just love this shot! Pardon, I’m an Aquarian and a water lover at heart! haha 😀

Soda Water

5. Tuasan Falls

Tuasan Falls is the newest tourist attraction in the province of Camiguin. During my previous visits, mainland tours do not include a visit to Tuasan Falls, not until now. I found Tuasan Falls more beautiful though than Katibawasan (another waterfall in the island which had been included in tours since 2011, my first time here).

I love the falls’ rugged beauty and the natural setting of big rocks that complements with the flow of shivering cold crystal-clear water surrounded by rich flora. The water is really refreshing!

Camiguin Tuasan Falls

6. Sto. Niño Cold Spring

And when we couldn’t get enough of the cold from Tuasan Falls, we headed to another much colder water attraction in the island of Camiguin, the Sto. Nino Cold Spring!

The Sto Niño Cold Spring is a natural cold spring that flows down from Mt. Mambajao and is filtered by layers of minerals from the mountain, therefore it is clean. The temperature is naturally maintained from 20-25 degrees celsius.

Camiguin Sto. Niño Cold Spring

Here’s more, during our visit to Sto Nino Cold Spring, me and my friends also discovered another activity!

FREE FISH SPA!

Oh yes! you heard that right! While me and my buddies were sitting by the pool, we noticed small fishes trying to come close and bit our toes! It was really ticklish and we couldn’t help ourselves from laughing and giggling! But boy, who can’t resist a free fish spa right?

Fish Spa in Camiguin

7. 16th Century Guiob Catarman Church Ruins

The Old Church Ruins of Camiguin, built in 16th century is one of the oldest and unique structures in the island. Unique because it is made from coral stones. The Church was later destroyed to ruins because of the 1871 Mount Vulcan eruption.

Before, during my visit in 2011, there used to be a small chapel inside the ruins compound. However during our present visit, the chapel’s already gone.

Old Church Ruins of Camiguin

At the back, there is a huge tree there that is said to be more than a century old. Nice to take photos below the tree.

8. Ardent Hot Spring Resort

Ardent Hibok-Hibok Spring Resort is a natural hot spring heated by Mt Hibok Hibok, an active volcano in the country.

This is by far my favorite destination in all of the spots offered in the Camiguin inland tour! I believe it is because of its calming effect it can give to an individual, a visit here is a great way to release stress after a day or week of work.

Camiguin Ardent Hot Spring Resort

Backpackers and adventurers like us will surely love soaking in this hot spring after a long travel, island exploration and adventure in the Island of Camiguin. A perfect way to end Camiguin’s mainland tour!

Camiguin’s White Island Tour

And to save the best for last, our last day in Camiguin is spent exploring the popular White Island.

Luckily, the weather cooperated and we were allowed to set sail to White Island. Rate is at Php 450.00 for the boat that could accommodate 5-6 passengers to take you to the island, and Php 20.00 for environmental fee.

camiguin island

Camiguin indeed is a majestic place. Perhaps it is why it’s my and my travel buddy’s favorite island destination here in the Philippines. An island so small yet almost all kind of wonders are here – whether you are looking for a dip in the beach, a plunge in a cool water pool, a relaxing hot spring, everything’s already right here! It’s remote and simple yet warm and diverse. Nature lovers will surely enjoy it.

I love Camiguin and I am sure you will love it too. Hope this travel guide helps.

Camiguin: 3 Days and 2 Nights

  • Mobile voucher
  • Instant confirmation

Nested in the northern Mindanao, Philippines, is a pear-shaped volcanic island of Camiguin, aptly called as the “Island Born of Fire”. It is roughly 100 kilometers north of Cagayan de Oro City in Misamis Oriental.

It can be considered as the Hawaii of the South East Asia as this island was created by volcanic eruptions and land movements. It has a total of seven volcanoes, one of which is the active Mount Hibok-Hibok that last erupted in 1953. Having been blessed by natural wonders and historical treasures, the island is truly a paradise. Among the most famous landmarks of Camiguin is an uninhabited white island that is around two kilometers off the shore of Agoho. It is actually a sandbar that offers a picturesque view of Mt. Hibok-Hibok. This sandbar submerges substantially during high tides.

CAMIGUIN DIY TRAVEL GUIDE 2024 (Itinerary + Budget)

davao to camiguin tour package

The white water kissed the shore as it washes away the grains of sand off my feet. The sound of the waves was resounding; the only sound I’ve been craving for to hear. The air was thick and salty on my skin but it felt good. I took a few steps and felt the brine up to my knees, making my heart beat faster as I take one or two more until my body is finally one with the ocean again. It is the only thing that my senses could perceive in the moment.

I closed my eyes and realized that this is just one of the many things that Camiguin has made me  perceive. There goes the sound of the waters falling gracefully from heights down to the basin of cold fresh water; the taste of the sweet fruit that is found everywhere in the island;  the sight of the vastness of the oceans, the skies and the land below as I stood up on the mountainside, the magical feeling of being surrounded by different schools of fishes and swimming with enormous turtles, the comfort of the warm waters in the hot spring and the refreshing ice cold waters of the other; and the sound of the locals who speak a familiar language with different accent from my own. My senses were all awake.

“I am here and now and this is no imagination nor a daydream. This is Camiguin.”

About Camiguin

The province of Camiguin was previously a part of Misamis Oriental until the late 1900’s. It is the smallest province of the Region X – Northern Mindanao and the second to the smallest in the Philippines. Albeit small compared to the other islands and provinces of the country, it holds and boasts a variety of gems – from beaches, marine sanctuaries, mountains and volcanoes, rivers, waterfalls, springs to historical and cultural sites.

Yet small, the island is a home to seven volcanoes in which one, Mt. Volcan (Mt. Vulcan), had the most remarkable and devastating eruption in 1871. This is the reason why the province is also dubbed as the “Island Born of Fire”.

The language that is spoken at large by the Camiguinons is Cebuano or Bisaya. They have their own language called Kamigin but only a few could speak and understand. This language is said to be a variety of the Manobo’s native language. Locals could speak fluent Tagalog and understand the English language, too, making the province a tourist-friendly one.

Places to Visit for a Camiguin DIY Trip

1. white island.

davao to camiguin tour package

White island is but a sandbar of cream-white sand surrounded by clear turquoise waters. During low tide, the tourists can swim around it as there are thriving underwater creatures and life nearby. There are no shade providers but the big umbrellas that can be rented out. Environmental fee: Php 50.00 Boat rental: Php 450.00 for sharing (up to 4 persons per boat) Snorkeling gear rental at the boat parking: Php 200.00 to Php 250.00 (optional) Umbrella rental – Php 150.00 (optional) Mat rental (banig) – Php 50.00 (optional)

The boats won’t wait for you till you decide to leave. You’ll have to inform the boatmen as to what time would you want to go back to the main land since they return in there to pick up and drop off more tourists. There are no nipa huts but beach umbrellas only since it’s more like a long stretch of sandbar. Best time to visit is at 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM on sunny days.

2. Mantigue Island

Boat rental – Php 600.00 for sharing (up to six persons per boat) Activities in the island:  Swimming and Snorkeling (Entrance to the marine sanctuary) fee – Php 50.00 per head Dive Guide fee – Php 200.00 Glass boat rental (30 minutes) – Php 300.00 Stand up Paddle Board (30 minutes) – Php 250.00

Island Day-Tour Accommodation: Picnic Shed – Php 150.00 Long Table – Php 100.00 Short Table – Php 50.00

Lunch in the island: There’s a small convenience store in the island but only sells limited goods. If you prefer to have fresh food on your plates, you may opt to have them cook for you. They have meat (pork), chicken, shells and fish and you only have two options in terms of cooking it: grilled or with soup. A kilogram of it starts at Php 350.00.  A cup of rice is at Php 20.00.

The tourists should be reminded that they are given 4 hours to stay in the island. Should they go beyond the allowable time, they have to pay Php 75.00 per hour and per boat. Best time to go to Mantigue Island is in the morning til until noontime since waves get a little rough late in the afternoon.

Mantigue Island has a Marine Sanctuary. It is among the best diving spots I’ve ever dove into. During my visit, we saw schools of fishes of different species (there’s even a Barracuda), turtles and other small and colorful ones). An amount of Php 200.00 has to be paid to a guide. These guides can take you to the best spots of the marine sanctuary.

Yes, you read it right, our local tour guide said that it tastes like soda. Worry not for you’re not going to take a gulp from the pool but there are drinking fountains with the waters continuously flowing. Free soda for everyone!

The Soda pool is closed every Monday because it is their cleaning schedule.
