Well, how about I take you to the place known as “The Island Born of Fire”? Yes! Our next destination is no other than the island municipality of Camiguin itself, which is known for countless natural wonders that will surely blow your mind. First off, Camiguin became famous as the “Island Born of Fire” because it is home to seven (7) volcanoes and several volcanic domes.

The island was formed due to the prehistoric eruptions of these volcanoes and earthquakes. These are also the reasons why the island is known to be very rich in natural resources and historical accounts as well.

There are a bunch of amazing reasons why you need to visit Camiguin Island and number one is that it is absolutely a tropical paradise worth exploring.

We’ll start our wondrous journey to Camiguin by visiting one of its most iconic natural attractions which is the White Island. From the name itself, this astonishing is indeed made of white sands entirely. Located off the coast of Mambajao , White Island can only be reached by a 10-minute boat ride.

Lots of tourists actually flock to the island just to experience being castaway to a tropical paradise with a 360° scenic view of turquoise waters and breathtaking horizons. Needless to say, White Island is absolutely an Instagrammable place you shouldn’t miss. Just a bit of advice though, try getting to White Island as early as sunrise because it can get overcrowded during the day. BEST RESORTS AND HOTELS IN CAMIGUIN HERE!

3. The Sunken Cemetery

Ah, and there it is. I’m sure that when you searched for Camiguin or even just heard about it, one of the most famous destinations you’ll encounter is The Sunken Cemetery. This sensational attraction features hundreds of underwater tombstones and a large cross that was built to commemorate the tragic story behind it. In the year 1871, it is said that a violent volcanic eruption sank this cemetery along with its capital city for eternity. Tourists who visit the Sunken Cemetery have different purposes and beliefs but that’s exactly the reason why it’s a unique tourist destination. For some, it symbolizes the meaning of life and death. That the inevitable time will come when we will all just be below the vast and massive waters of the sea.

The Sunken Cemetery is indeed a very spectacular scenery worth seeing. Its unique and thrilling vibe worthy of both admiration and respect will absolutely be one of the main highlights of your trip to Camiguin Island, indeed.

4. Katibawasan Falls

Next up, we’ll be visiting the astonishing and picturesque gem of Mambajao, Camiguin. The 70-foot sparkling wonder of Katibawasan Falls is the tallest waterfall on the entire Camiguin Island with beautiful rock formations, lush forests, and a wide natural pool where you can swim, dive, and have fun!

Photo by Manila Daily Photo

A lot of tourists flock to this breathtaking attraction simply to snap some pictures as a highlight of their trip to Camiguin, so I suggest that you pick the best time to visit. The vicinity around Katibawasan Falls is also well-maintained and developed. There are cottages where you can relax and have a picnic with your family and friends as well! Just remember to avoid littering and help preserve our environment, alright?

5. Tuasan Falls

Ah, another spectacular cascade we shouldn’t miss on Camiguin Island is the wondrous Tuasan Falls. This refreshing waterfall attracts a lot of visitors that love to explore nature and take a relaxing swim. Despite not being very tall in height, you’ll be surprised by how powerful the stream of water goes down the natural pool! It’s absolutely a perfect destination in the summer because the water is cold and chilly all year round.

Photo by Tripadvisor

There are two natural pools below Tuasan Falls, the first one is huge enough to fit several tourists while the second is a tiny bit where a handful of people can only fit at a time. Oh, and you don’t have to worry about your safety because there are lifeguards stationed around the area of Tuasan Falls. So, just go have some fun!

6. Mount Hibok-Hibok

After exploring the two spectacular waterfalls of Camiguin Island, it’s now time to conquer the peak of its most famous volcano, the majestic Mount Hibok-Hibok. This peaceful summit is a haven for hiking and trekking enthusiasts because the breathtaking scenery and lush greenery around the volcano are indeed very rewarding.

Reaching the top requires about 3 to 4 hours of hiking, but once you witness the breathtaking view of the pristine seawater, and several nearby land masses like Bohol, Surigao, and Siquijor , it will all be worth it! You’ll also be amazed when you see its mossy volcanic crater and the sharp rocks and boulders around it. Oh, and you can also take a relaxing dip afterward at Ardent Hot Springs! But we’ll talk more about that later so stay with me, alright?

7. Taguines Lagoon

Taguines Lagoon, for me, is the definition of God’s mind-blowing creativity. It’s a stunning freshwater lagoon located beside the sea that’s also surrounded by lush forests and several perfect vantage points! Yup, you can easily stop by Taguines Lagoon on the highway and take a memorable picture of it. You can also have fun and spend the day at Taguines Lagoon Aqua-Sports and Recreational Facility where countless watersports activities are being offered! From kayaking, boating adventures, and paddle boating, I’m sure that you’ll be amazed by boatloads of fun and an incredible dose of nature’s stunning beauty.

Tourists can also have the chance to view several aquaculture species like milkfish, green mussels, and more. There are also must-try restaurants around the area of Taguines Lagoon where you can eat the delicious specialties of the island.

8. Binangawan Falls

Located in Sagay, Camiguin is another sparkling waterfall that is truly a hidden gem you must visit! But let me warn you, a lot of tourists say that it’s really hard to reach. So expect lots of difficult trekking and hiking, okay? But if you’re in for the adventure and absolutely love challenges, then this is perfect for you! Binangawan Falls is sometimes hailed as the “Rainbow Falls” simply because its spectacular beauty is very hard to find. The crystal clear waters cascading down all the way to the cold pool of water is definitely worth the struggle. All the beautiful rock formations and serene atmosphere of the waterfalls are indeed a wonderful escape to nature we all need and deserve.

Oh, and just a friendly tip! I suggest that you hire a tour guide to help you reach Binangawan Falls safely. The trails are extremely hard to recognize so it will really be dangerous if you go by yourself.

9. San Nicolas de Tolentino Parish

Of course, your trip to Camiguin certainly wouldn’t be complete without dropping by San Nicolas de Tolentino Parish. This religious landmark was founded in 1916 and is located in the island province’s capital, Mambajao.

Visiting San Nicolas de Tolentino Parish while you’re in Camiguin Island offers visitors a chance to pay respects and prayers for safe travels and adventure as well.

10. Guiob Church Ruins

Next up, another must-visit historical landmark in Camiguin is the Guiob Church Ruins. Behind this fascinating attraction is a colorful yet tragic history that will make you frightened about nature’s unstoppable power. In the 16th Century, there was a Spanish capital located in Camiguin called the Cotta Bato, and located within it is a beautiful church which is now the Guiob Church Ruins. Due to the violent eruption of Mt. Vulcan, everything surrounding Cotta Bato turned into dust because the intense earthquakes literally brought everything down to the ground. The only structure left standing is no other than the Guiob Church Ruins.

Lots of tourists that are visiting Camiguin Island make sure that they visit the Guiob Church Ruins because it seemingly allows us to travel back in time even just for a while. Moreover, the place also has a beautiful, peaceful and serene environment that’s perfect for everyone!

It’s only located in the town of Sagay which is just a few kilometers away from Catarman, so I’m sure you won’t have problems reaching it.

12. Burias Shoal

Another haven worth visiting for diving enthusiasts out there is the mind-blowing beauty of Burias Shoal. There are many scenic dive spots around Camiguin Island but Burias Shoal is definitely one of the most exciting and challenging diving adventures you’ll ever encounter. Before you witness the colorful coral reefs, schools of fishes, barracudas, and tuna swarming underneath, you first have to overcome a series of strong currents, deep slopes, and walls.

The resort has several pools of varying sizes so I’m sure that everyone can pick what they like. The hot springs usually have a temperature of 40°C which is perfect for a relaxing and soothing bath.

This island is a shoe-shaped sand bar a few minutes away from the coast in Barangay Yumbing in Mambajao. The shape of the island shifts according to the wind directions. This is a popular spot in Camiguin Island for swimming and sunbathing. The island faces the ocean sea so the currents here are strong, although the other side of the island is relatively shallow and calm — perfect for children or idle swimmers.

As there is no shade in the island, make sure to bring sunhats or rent an umbrella from one of the locals. Don’t forget to bring your sunscreen.

Mantigue Island is a marine sanctuary where you can see a variety of corals, tropical fishes, sea turtles, and even stingrays. There is also an area where you can see giant clams.

From the shore, you only need to swim several meters to see the surrounding coral garden. Snorkeling gears can be rented from the island operators and a guide is also available to take you to the best underwater spots.

Mantigue Island is one of our favorite Camiguin tourist spots and I can’t recommend it enough! I was amazed with the vibrant marine life we’d seen here. The corals were colorful and healthy. I’d seen some of the biggest table corals in here.

The Giant Clam Sanctuary is undeniably one of the best attractions in Camiguin, home to over a thousand giant clams.

When you get inside the sanctuary, you can proceed to the clam laboratory where you can view young giant clams in man-made aquariums. Then you can also snorkel in the surrounding shore to see the giant clams, with the biggest species spanning as much as 4 feet in length.

Aside from snorkeling, you can also swim in its white-sand beach and enjoy a seafood lunch in its seaside restaurant.

The water at Ardent Hot Springs was said to average 40°C. However, it has cooled down over the recent years. Still, you can visit here to take pictures and bathe in the refreshing pools.

There are 3 waterfalls you can visit in Camiguin Island: Tuasan Falls , Katibawasan Falls , and Binangawan Falls .

Tuasan Falls isn’t as popular as Katibawasan Falls, but it’s a favorite of many for a reason. This 25-meter-high waterfall is simply beautiful! It’s located 30 minutes away from the town center, surrounded by vivid-green flora. It has kept its natural charm, as there are no establishments in sight. Despite its small height, the water here is strong and will entice you to take a dip!

Katibawasan Falls is a spot that you shouldn’t miss visiting! It’s the tallest waterfall in Camiguin Island, at 70 meters high. Its water comes from the nearby Mount Tipoong. The water flow here is weak, but you can still cool off at the man-made basin below.

Aside from swimming in the falls, you can also enjoy a picnic on the sides. There are stores and souvenir shops where you can purchase food and other goods during your visit.

Binangawan Falls is a lesser-known waterfall, located in the midst of a jungle in Sagay. Currently, it’s not yet developed so you may need a local guide to point you to its exact location or you can just follow the trail if you’re feeling adventurous. From the main road, trekking here takes about 30 minutes. Be careful on the drive to the jump-off point because of steep road conditions.

Walkway to the Old Volcano is a short mountain trail in Catarman, located about 10 minutes from the town of Mambajao. It takes 30 to 45 minutes to trek, and along the way you will pass by 14 Stations of the Cross , which depict the journey of Jesus Christ from crucifixion to his eventual resurrection.

It is usually visited by religious people, but even if you don’t consider yourself one, you’d still want to add it to your itinerary in Camiguin so you can see the views at the end of the trail: the Mount Vulcan Viewpoint , where the Old Volcano meets the ocean, and also the Sunken Cemetery further away.

Make sure to bring a bottled water with you. If you’re not an active hiker, you don’t have to reach the summit. Just trek up to the 9th or 10th station of the cross, where you can already see the Sunken Cemetery.

The Old Church Ruins (or Guiob Church) is a historical landmark in Camiguin. Built in the 16th century during the Spanish Colonial Era, this old church stood the volcanic eruptions of Mount Vulcan and Mount Hibok-Hibok. Currently, only three structures that resemble old ruins remain.

Visiting here, you can learn about the history of the Old Church Ruins, take photos at the ruins, and even taste local fruits and snacks sold by vendors outside.

For those looking for more adventure in the island, head over to Taguines Lagoon. This man-made island is built for fish breeding and it is open for tourists who want to try the 700-meter zipline that crosses the lagoon.

To avail this activity, head to J&A Fishpen Resort which is the one that handles the ziplines.

Once you’re done, you can also swim in the lagoon or spend the afternoon in the inflatable floating playground in one of the resorts in the area.

Mount Hibok-Hibok is the only remaining active volcano in Camiguin Island. Its last eruption was in 1950s. Today, it’s a popular hiking spot in the island.

The usual jump-off point is Ardent Hot Springs. From there, trek for 3-5 hours to reach the summit depending on your pace. The summit offers a view of the Ilihan Crater and White Island, as well as neighboring islands of Siquijor , Bohol, and Surigao.

Due to minimal light pollution in the island, you can also see the Milky Way on a clear sky.

You can do this as a day trip from Mambajao. If you want to see the sunrise at the summit, start your trek at 2AM and you can return back down at 10AM. This is preferable especially if you want to avoid the heat during the day.

Take a break from your island tour for a mug of hot coffee or sikwate in Black Mountain Cafe , which is located on a mountainside overlooking the summit of Mount Hibok-Hibok.

There are alfresco tables where you can enjoy your visit or you can lay down in a mat on the grass.

On a good day, you can clearly see the mountain from the cafe. On other days, it’s foggy but still worth visiting becaus of the nice, chill ambiance.

There is another nearby cafe you can visit called Nanaw Cafe .

There are various resorts you can find in Camiguin.

If you want ocean views, head over to Tongatok Cliff Resort or Bintana sa Paraiso – Naasag. If you want to stay in a mountainside, book a room in Volcano Houses or Bintana sa Paraiso – Binunsaran.

We stayed in Bintana sa Paraiso – Binunsaran for 2 nights and it was a lovely place. On a clear day, you can see the White Island from the resort and for the rest of the time it was foggy that we felt lazy and relaxed, just looking at the surrounding forest and drinking hot coffee.

One of the most popular sunset viewing spots in Camiguin Island is the Sunken Cemetery . Most day trippers visit here as the last stop in their itinerary.

Another one is called the Secret Spot , which is a seaside location surrounded by boulders and volcanic rocks. The water here is hot, as locals say there is a natural hot spring sprouting from the underground to the open sea. It’s located beside the Sea and Sun Resort. You can ask the local for directions.

Mindanao’s favorite pastel originated from Camiguin Island.

Pastel is a soft pastry filled with yema (sweet custard). Other fillings include strawberry, ube, macapuno, and even durian. Buy it as your snack or pasalubong from your trip.

The Lanzones Festival is an annual festival held every 3rd week of October. This month is also the harvest time for lanzones, one of the fruit products of the island.

The festival runs for 3 days. You can attend trade fairs, concerts, pageants and a streetdance competition.

• You can explore these tourist spots via an island tour in 2 days. You can also rent a motorbike if you want to do it on your own.
• There are plenty of Camiguin resorts and hotels you can choose from. The most accessible ones are located in the capital town of Mambajao, while others are located further such as in the mountains in Binunsaran . If you’re in a budget, you might want to stay close to the town where there is public transport available.

Camiguin Tourist Spots: 15 Can’t Miss Places to Visit

Of all the tourist spots in the Philippines, Camiguin is definitely one of the most underrated. With its stunning landscapes and multitude of activities to do, Camiguin is definitely a destination not to be missed. If you’re looking for an adventure, then this is the place for you!

From its white sand beaches to its volcanoes, Camiguin has something for everyone. So if you’re looking for an escape, be sure to put Camiguin on your list!

Table of Contents

White Island

White island is one of the most popular tourist spots in Camiguin. As its name suggests, the island is covered in white sand which makes for a stunning contrast against the blue waters. The best part about White Island is that it’s completely uninhabited. From here, you can see Mt Hibok Hibok and Old Vulcan in all their glory.

If you’re looking to relax, this is the perfect spot for you. There are no buildings or people, so you can truly feel at peace. The only things on the island are the sand, the sea, and the sky. But this means that it can get hot during the day, so make sure to bring plenty of sunscreen!

To get to White Island, you can take a boat from Mambajao. The ride takes about 10 minutes.

Guiob Church Ruins

The Guiob Church Ruins are one of the most popular tourist spots in Camiguin. The church was built during the Spanish Era but was destroyed when Mt. Vulcan erupted in 1871. Today, all that remains are the ruins of the church’s upper walls. The church is twice as big as it is today. The ruins are a beautiful sight and definitely worth a visit.

It’s surrounded by lush greenery and tall trees all around. There’s even a century-old tree beside the church. You’ll also see the ruins of a bell tower and a convent beside the church.

Sunken Cemetery

The Sunken Cemetery is a cemetery that was sunken when Mt. Vulcan erupted in 1871. It’s a haunting yet beautiful sight. A big cross marks the spot where the cemetery used to be. You can rent a boat and a guide to take you to the cross. If you’re up for it, you can snorkel around the area.

Ryk was interested in snorkeling around the area but the thought of it didn’t sit quite well with me. The history behind it just felt too eerie. Snorkeling above gravestones just didn’t feel right.

Mantigue Island Nature Park

This is our favorite tourist spot during our week-long trip. Mantigue Island is a small island off the coast of Camiguin. It’s a nature lover’s paradise. Unlike White Island, this island is covered in lush vegetation.

From the white sand to the turquoise waters, the island is absolutely stunning. You can rent a table by the beach and enjoy the view of Camiguin’s mountains. We highly recommend you snorkel around the island. There’s an abundance of marine life and the corals are beautiful. We even saw two sea turtles!

Mt Hibok-Hibok

A lot of hikers and nature lovers come to Camiguin to climb Mt Hibok-Hibok . It’s an active volcano with an elevation of 1,332 meters. The last time it erupted was in 1953.

The hike to the summit is quite challenging but the view is definitely worth it. The hike will take you about 6 to 9 hours. From the summit, you’ll be able to see a panoramic view of the ocean. Sounds exciting?

Katibawasan Falls

Katibawasan Falls is a popular spot for both locals and tourists. . The falls are about 70 meters high and has a plunge pool where you can swim. The water is crystal clear and refreshing. The waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery. There are several cottages where you can take a break and enjoy the view.

We arrived in the afternoon and there weren’t a lot of people around. The falls looked majestic.

Tuasan Falls

Tuasan Falls is another one of Camiguin’s beautiful waterfalls. It’s about 20 meters high and has a small pool at the bottom. It’s a great spot to take a dip and cool off after a long day of exploring Camiguin. There are also several cottages where you can relax.

There’s a signage near the waterfall that says “beware of falling rocks”. There’s a rope that marks where it’s safe to swim so make sure you don’t go past that.

Binangawan Falls

Binangawan Falls is the shortest waterfall in Camiguin. It’s only about 15 meters high but it’s still a beautiful sight. The water is crystal clear and refreshing. Its name comes from the Bisayan word “Bangaw” which means “rainbow” since rainbows form at the base of the waterfall when the sun hits the water.

You’ll need to hike to reach the waterfall so pack some hiking shoes if you plan on visiting.

Taguines Lagoon

Taguines Lagoon is a beautiful man-made lagoon surrounded by mountains. You can find here J&A Fishpen and Restaurant where you can enjoy a meal with a view. It’s a great spot to eat lunch in after a trip to Mantigue island.

We went there on a high tide and the water came up to our knees. From the cottage, we saw several fishes swimming around the restaurant.

We ordered several dishes and especially loved the “panga”. It was pricier than the rest but it was delicious!

The Walkway in Mount Vulcan

The Walkway in Mount Vulcan is a pilgrimage site for religious Catholics on Lenten season. There are 14 stations of the cross on the way up. It’s a popular spot for both locals and tourists. The views along the way are absolutely stunning. You get a view of the western side of Camiguin.

Giant Clams Ocean Nursery

The Giant Clams Ocean Nursery is a great spot for snorkeling. It’s located in Mambajao. You can find here several giant clams. Unfortunately, they are closed as of July 2022. For the past two years, they have been closed due to political intervention. Stay updated, check here from time to time to see if it’s open.

As an island filled with volcanoes, Camiguin has several springs that are open to the public. However, when we visited, each place only looked like any other resort which was a bit disappointing. If you don’t plan on swimming, you can skip these.

Bura Soda Water Park

Bura Soda Water Park is a man-made pool with natural spring water. The water is crystal clear and refreshing. It’s well-known for its soda taste.

There’s an area where you can drink soda water. It tasted a little bit like carbonated water but not that strong. We had to try it twice to get the tingling sensation you get when drinking soda.

Other than satisfying your curiosity, the place isn’t worth visiting if you don’t plan on swimming.

Ardent Hot Springs

We didn’t visit Ardent Hot Springs. Unfortunately, according to locals, the water isn’t hot anymore. Apparently, it’s either temporarily or permanently closed.

Sto. Nino Cold Spring

Aside from the cool water, there’s nothing much to see here. It’s just a pool with cold water.

Macao Spring

Unlike the other famous springs on the island, Macao spring is free and open to the public. The spring water is blue and surrounded by lush greenery. It’s a hidden gem that not a lot of tourists know about.

Burias Shoal

Burias Shoal is a small island off the coast of Camiguin. It’s a popular spot for both locals and tourists as a diving spot.

Tongatok Viewdeck

The Tongatok Viewdeck is a great spot to see the ocean and the mountain. Stop by on your way to the Sunken Cemetery.

Katunggan Park

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting a lot when we were traveling to Katunggan Park so I was surprised when we toured around the place. The park looked pretty cool. You can rent a shed for 3 hours and swim in the waters.

There were a lot of families having a blast in each of the sheds we passed. It’s like renting your own treehouse but with the sea water below. There are also a few benches around so you can stop for a few minutes and take in the forest. As someone who loves trees, the place looked like paradise to me. Definitely a must-visit!

15 BEST Camiguin Island Tourist Spots – Ultimate Guide

Looking for the best Camiguin Tourist Spots?!

Camiguin Island in the Philippines is commonly referred to as the ‘island born of fire’  due to the volcanic eruptions that gave the island its impressive shape.

The island is home to 7 volcanoes and the highest peak is Mount Mambajao at 1,713 meters above sea level.

It’s quite simply a tropical paradise offering a mecca of things to do and see such as epic waterfalls, volcanic hot springs, historical landmarks, island hopping, snorkeling, and hiking!

If you’re an outdoor enthusiast like myself, you’ll be spoiled with fun-fuelled adventures when you arrive on the island.

I have put together this ultimate list of things to do in Camiguin and other useful information including how to get here, where to stay, how to get around the island, and the best time to visit.

Table of Contents

CAMIGUIN ISLAND TOURIST SPOTS – OVERVIEW

Let’s start this guide with all the essential information you should know about Camiguin Island, such as its location, getting there, and more.

WHERE IS CAMIGUIN ISLAND?

Camiguin Island is situated in the Bohol Sea in the Philippines, about 10km off the north coast of Mindanao.

Click here to see the Camiguin tourist spots map on Google maps.

HOW TO GO TO CAMIGUIN?

There are two ways how to go to Camiguin, one is by plane and the other by ferry.

There are daily flights to Camiguin connecting domestic travelers coming from Manila or Cebu. The only airport on the island is Camiguin Mambajao Airport (CGM).

Bohol to Camiguin ferry

One of the most common routes to the island is the ferry from Bohol to Camiguin which takes approximately 3-4 hours and the cost is 425 pesos.

There is also an additional municipal service fee of 10 pesos and a terminal fee of 15 pesos.

There is only one ferry per day departing from the Jagna Ferry Terminal in East Bohol at 1 pm and arriving at the Balbagon Ferry Terminal in Camiguin at around 5 pm.

The name of the boat leaving Jagna to Camiguin is ‘Super Shuttle Ferry’.

You can purchase your tickets at the Jagna Ferry Terminal at least one hour before departure.

Balingoan to Camiguin ferry

If you happen to be in Cagayan de Oro and heading over to Camiguin from here, there are daily ferry departures leaving from Balingoan Port in Misamis Oriental to Benoni Port in Camiguin.

The ferry from Balingoan to the island takes approximately 1.5 hours and the cost is around 150 pesos.

You can purchase your tickets at the Balingoan Port at least one hour before departure.

WHERE TO STAY IN CAMIGUIN?

Camiguin Island has countless accommodation options to choose from, so I have narrowed it down to a few of the best places to stay to fit the needs of budget backpackers, luxury travelers, and everyone in between.

See the list of accommodations below that I personally recommend:

Luxury:  Bintana Sa Paraiso

I personally stayed at Bintana Sa Paraiso and can’t recommend this place enough!

They have 2 properties, one is on the beachfront in Mambajao and the other is high in the mountains in Binunsarun.

It’s currently one of the best 5-star accommodations in Camiguin featuring a restaurant, swimming pools, sea views, and mountain views!

The rooms are modern and spacious with private bathrooms, air conditioning, flat-screen tv, and a kitchenette.

Mid Range:  Tongatok Cliff Resort

Tongatok Cliff Resort is your second-best pick for accommodation in Camiguin.

Located on the cliffs overlooking Tongatok Bay, the resort features a restaurant, room service, bar, garden, terrace, and free wifi.

The units are fitted with air conditioning, flat-screen tv, a private bathroom, a large patio, and ocean views!

Budget:  Pabua’s Cottages

Pabua’s Cottages is the best budget accommodation in Camiguin, featuring beautiful gardens, a shared kitchen, free wifi, and room service.

The units are basic but perfect for a few nights’ stay, featuring a seating area, flat-screen tv, large bed, air conditioning, and a private bathroom.

Recommended for solo travelers, couples, and friends.

FOR MORE OPTIONS, SEE MY COMPLETE GUIDE ON WHERE TO STAY ON CAMIGUIN ISLAND.

How to get around camiguin island.

The best way to get around Camiguin Island is to rent a scooter in Mambajao and make your own way around to all the Camiguin tourist spots.

I always recommend renting a scooter on the islands in the Philippines as you can choose your own route and go at your own pace. I rented my scooter from  Camiguin All In One for 350 pesos per day.

Also, be sure to purchase travel insurance , especially when riding on the roads in the Philippines. Safety first!

Alternatively, there are tricycles and jeepney options available to get around the island. A 20-minute tricycle ride will cost around 100 pesos whereas a jeepney ride is only 40-50 pesos.

Have you got travel insurance for your trip?!

We all know accidents can happen and having Heymondo Insurance will save you thousands of dollars if something goes wrong.

Heymondo offers low-cost Travel Insurance to keep you covered on all your adventures.

BEST TIME TO VISIT CAMIGUIN

The best time to visit Camiguin, weather-wise, is between April and July when temperatures are hot and there is barely any rainfall. This is also the high season so expect to see many tourists during these months.

I recommend visiting on the shoulder months of the high season between November and March which sees a bit of rainfall but usually only lasts for a couple of hours and the rest of the day is sunny.

Try to avoid the typhoon season which is typically between August and October.

15 BEST CAMIGUIN TOURIST SPOTS

Now that you’ve got all the information on where to stay, where to go in Camiguin Island, the best time to visit, and all the logistics, let’s get to the fun stuff.

So without further ado, here is the ultimate guide to the 15 Best Camiguin Tourist Spots!

WHITE ISLAND CAMIGUIN

Exploring White Island was the highlight of my trip which is why it claims the best tourist spot in Camiguin on this list.

The soft and powdery Camiguin sandbar is located just 2km off the northern shores of Mambajao and it’s one of the best things to do in Camiguin 2023!

To get to White Island you’ll have to ride a pump boat from the White Island Ferry Terminal in Mambajao which is located right next to Paras Beach Resort. The pump boat operating hours are 5:30 am and finish at 5:30 pm, 7 days a week.

The entrance fee is 50 pesos ($1) and the pump boat fee is 550 pesos ($9) which seats a maximum of 6 people.

For those traveling solo, it would be ideal to find a group of people to split the cost of the pump boat between you.

Need A Travel Money Card?

Wise offers multi-currency cards that can be used worldwide and you’ll save $ on transaction fees.

Stepping off the boat and sinking my toes into the sand on White Beach was an experience in itself! I don’t think I have ever felt sand this soft before.

We walked from one end of the sandbar to the other in a matter of minutes and noticed there was a second sandbar across a shallow water channel. My buddy Jay crossed over to the other side and I sent my drone up to take a few shots. He had the entire sandbar to himself, it was unreal!

I was in complete awe of the vibrant turquoise-colored water that surrounds the sandbar and couldn’t resist taking a dip in the ocean, more than once!

One of my favorite things about White Island is the view facing back towards the mainland where Mt Hibok Hibok and Mt Vulcan can be seen reaching high into the skyline, creating the ultimate backdrop. I have never seen a landscape quite like it in my life!

BEST TOUR IN CAMIGUIN

The best way to visit is to join a Camiguin Island Tour with White Island !

It includes all entrance fees, private transportation, and a fun guide to spend the day with!

ARDENT HOT SPRINGS

Camiguin is home to 7 volcanoes and subsequently, there are a number of  thermal pools that can be found on the island and the Ardent Hot Springs are the most popular.

Set at the foot of Mount Hibok Hibok, the Ardent Hot Spring is one of the best tourist spots in Camiguin.

Ardent Hot Springs is located in Mambajao and it’s approximately a 10-minute drive from the main town to reach the springs.

The Ardent Hot Spring entrance fee is 50 pesos and there are also sheltered tables and chairs which are available for rent for 150 pesos.

Must Read → 3 Weeks Philippines Itinerary

As I mentioned earlier, Ardent Hot Springs sits at the foot of Mt. Hibok Hibok volcano which is where the thermal water is derived from. The water temperature is around 40°C which is slightly cooled on the way down to the lower pools.

Ardent Hot Springs are man-made pools surrounded by lush rainforest and the water is transparent with a tinge of blue. For a man-made structure, they’ve done well to make this place a tranquil experience for visitors.

The water cascades from the top of the valley and is divided into four separate pools. The two larger pools at the bottom are the most inviting and there is an arched footbridge between them.

Ardent Hot Springs is around 1.5 meters deep with plenty of space to hang out in the thermal pools or around the edges on the concrete steps.

A dip in the Ardent Hot Spring Mambajao is the best remedy for muscle pains after a long day exploring the island.

The BEST Affordable Camera For Travel

If you’re on the hunt for a professional camera for traveling, check out the Canon G7 X Mark II .

This tiny camera fits in your pocket, captures high-quality photos and videos, and has Wi-Fi so you can instantly transfer to your phone!

KATIBAWASAN FALLS

Katibawasan Falls is the  tallest waterfall on the island.  At a whopping 70 meters tall, this is one waterfall you definitely want to add to your list of things to do in Camiguin!

Katibawasan Falls is located in Mambajao and it’s approximately a 20-minute drive to reach the falls from the main town. The entrance fee at Katibawasan Falls is 75 pesos.

Katibawasan Falls is fed from the nearby Mt. Timpoong and the falls themselves feature a narrow stream of water that flows effortlessly down a monolithic cliff-face and into a large catch basin below.

The shallow lagoon at the base of Katibawasan is the perfect opportunity to cool off in the fresh, crystalline waters while marveling at the lush jungle surrounds.

Some sections around the catch basin are man-made but they have done their best to preserve the natural ambiance at this popular Camiguin tourist spot.

Apart from swimming in the lagoon and exploring the area around the falls, there isn’t much else to do. I recommend spending 30 minutes to 1 hour at Katibawasan Falls before continuing on to the other places to visit in Camiguin Island.

At the entrance to the falls, there are a few small shops selling souvenirs, snacks, and drinks. If you do have some small change to buy something here, the money goes a long way to support the local communities in the area.

WALKWAY TO THE OLD VOLCANO

The Walkway to the Old Volcano (Mt Vulcan) is an easy hike to an awesome viewpoint overlooking the west coast.

The Walkway to the Old Volcano can be found in Catarman, a 10-minute drive from the main town of Mambajao and the entrance fee is only 10 pesos.

It takes approximately 30-minutes from the jump-off point to hike to the Mt Vulcan viewpoint and the trail is made up of concrete steps and a gravel path. The trail is shaded for the most part but it does get very hot and sweaty so bring plenty of drinking water.

Along the way, there are statues depicting the 14 Stations of the Cross. These statues are quite impressive, even if you are not religious, and each one depicts the stages of Jesus Christ from the carrying of the cross, the crucifixion, the burial, and the resurrection.

Once you reach the top, the trail will come to a dead-end and this is where you’ll find the Mt Vulcan viewpoint! From here you can see one whole side of the Old Volcano which meets the ocean and you can even spot the Sunken Cemetery further along the coastline.

For a short 1-hour return journey, this hike is definitely worth adding to your list of things to do in Camiguin.

Pssst! Check out this AWESOME travel bag!

The Nomatic 40L is the best travel bag on the market, perfect for weekend trips or month-long adventures!

Featuring multiple compartments for clothes, shoes, laptop, water bottle, RFID-protected pocket, and more.

It’s designed to fit the maximum size allowed for carry-on luggage, so you’ll never have to spend money on check-in baggage again!

SNORKEL AT THE SUNKEN CEMETERY

The Sunken Cemetery is an adventure not to be missed, and you should definitely include it in your place to go in Camiguin list!

Go snorkeling at the Sunken Cemetery where you’ll discover old tombstones and crosses as well as an abundance of marine life!

Sunken Cemetery is located in Catarman which is a 10-minute drive from the main tourist area of Mambajao.

The entrance fee is 150 pesos and an additional 150 pesos fee for a mandatory guide to take you snorkeling. If you don’t have your own mask and snorkel set you can rent them here for 100 pesos.

What once was a cemetery that resided on land was forced to depths below sea level following a volcanic eruption on Camiguin Island in 1870. The natural disaster brought the city to rubble and caused the cemetery to subside.

A giant cross was later built in remembrance of the deceased that lay in the cemetery that once was. It is truly an iconic landmark displaying the rich history of the island and its people.

From the shoreline, it’s a short 50m swim through shallow waters to reach the giant cross and the underwater tombstone. The tombstone displays a stone sculpted head with a cross attached to the top which was a pretty creepy sight when I first laid eyes on it but unlike anything I have seen before.

We swam out to the outer edges of the reef and our guide showed us some giant clams, sea anemones with clownfish, beautiful sea stars, and the old cross that forms part of the Sunken Cemetery.

There is such an abundance of sea life and colorful corals the further out you go and I highly recommend checking it out as it’s one of the best Camiguin tourist attractions!

I’m sure y’all know by now that GoPro’s are arguably the best action cameras on the planet!

The new GoPro HERO 11 boasts 5.3K video, 27MP photo, HyperSmooth stabilization, and waterproof up to 10m!

OLD SPANISH CHURCH RUINS

Just around the corner from the Sunken Cemetery is the Old Church Ruins, also known as Old Spanish Church Ruins and Guiob Church. An iconic landmark that has stood the test of time following the volcanic eruptions of Mt Vulcan and Mt Hibok Hibok.

The Old Spanish Church Ruins are located in Catarman which is a 10-minute drive from Mambajao and the entrance fee is 50 pesos.

MUST READ: BEST TRAVEL ACCESSORIES FOR ANY TRIP

There are three stone structures that still remain standing following the volcanic eruptions on the island which is why the Old Church Ruins is a historical landmark. From the road, it looks like an old fortress with its high walls and tall columns.

The walls of the ruins, over time, have become covered in vines and moss which clearly gives you an idea of how old this church is. Large trees also surround this historic site which are some of the biggest trees I have seen and they form a dense canopy above the ruins. See the images below for scale!

The Guiob Church was built sometime in the 16th century during the Spanish era before it met its demise during the eruption. Hence the name Old Spanish Church Ruins.

Before you leave the Old Spanish Church Ruins you will find a couple of local vendors selling Lanzones fruit. If you haven’t tried Lanzones yet in the Philippines make sure you try them here.

BURA SODA WATER SWIMMING POOL

Bura Soda Water Swimming Pool is one of the more tourist spots that you can’t miss on your itinerary! The name says it all, and yes, you can actually drink the fresh soda water at this fascinating cold spring.

The Soda Water Swimming Pool can be found in Catarman which is a 25-minute drive from Mambajao and the entrance fee is 150 pesos. It’s actually attached to a resort but also open to the public.

A large swimming pool welcomes you as you arrive at the Bura Soda Water Spring though it is not bubbling as you may have expected. However, the crystalline water is incredibly clean and fresh as the flow of water from the mountains is constant. Set down your belongings in one of the poolside huts and jump on in to cool off!

Do note that you cannot drink from the pool itself but off to the side, you can find an open faucet where you can taste the clean and natural soda water flowing from the taps. It’s safe to drink and it’s completely free! 

Small sari-sari stores can be found out the front selling snacks, drinks, and souvenirs. There is also a lifeguard on duty at the Soda Water Swimming Pool keeping an eye out for all visitors.

This attraction is the first of its kind in the Philippines and I highly recommend visiting during your stay.

MANTIGUE ISLAND

Mantigue Island is one of the best Camiguin tourist spots, just a short boat trip off the main island’s east coast.

Mantigue Island is a protected marine sanctuary that boasts white sand beaches, turquoise waters, colorful coral reefs, and a lush nature park.

Mantigue Island is located in Mahinog, 3.5km off the east coast of Camiguin Island. From the main tourist area of Mambajao, it’s approximately a 30-minute drive to the Mantigue Island departure area, and the boat ride to the island is around 20 minutes.

When you arrive at the San Roque port, you’ll find a small tourist office where you can book your Mantigue Island tour. The boat costs 750 pesos for a maximum of 6 people, so ideally if you can find a group of people to head over to Mantigue Island with it will be much cheaper to split the cost.

You’ll also have to pay an environmental fee of 30 pesos, a snorkeling fee of 75 pesos, and a mask and snorkel rental is 100 pesos.

As soon as we arrived on Mantigue Island we set our belongings down on the sand and went for a snorkel along the outer edges of the reef. The water is extremely clear and we saw sea stars and an abundance of fish.

We then decided to go for a walk around the island which took us around 20 minutes, stopping several times for a dip in the ocean to cool off along the way. The water surrounding the island is so inviting it would be rude not to go for a swim!

There are a couple of simple restaurants on Mantigue Island where you can purchase drinks and local food. These local eateries offer fish, seafood, chicken, pork, and rice. They also sell water, soft drinks, and beer to watch it all down.

Other than swimming, snorkeling, and exploring the shoreline around Mantigue Island there’s also a nature walk that takes you across a wooden boardwalk from one end of the island to the other.

For such a small island, there are many things to do to keep you entertained for a couple of hours and I highly recommend including Mantigue Island in your itinerary.

STO NINO COLD SPRING

Sto Nino Cold Spring is one of the more underrated attractions on the island. Mainly visited by locals, you’ll get to experience the Filipino way of having a good time at these springs!

Sto Nino Cold Spring is located in Catarman, a 30-minute drive from Mambajao and the entrance fee is 50 pesos.

Sto Nino Cold Spring features a large man-made swimming pool that is fed from natural spring water that runs down the valley from the nearby mountains.

There are plenty of sheltered huts and seating areas around the edges of the pool where you can set down your belongings and jump in head first to cool off. The water in the springs is a vibrant turquoise color and irresistibly inviting!

I noticed a few locals floating around the springs in rubber tubes which looked super relaxing so I grabbed a tube myself and joined in.

It was a Sunday when I visited and there were several Filipino families who had set up for the day with a banquet of food and drinks. Not a bad way to spend a weekend if you ask me!

Sto Nino Cold Spring is set beneath Mt Hoibok Hibok, surrounded by a dense coconut palm forest and beautiful gardens, creating the ultimate jungle vibes! It’s a great spot to hang out for an hour or so during your visit.

Take Your Photos & Videos To New Heights!

The DJI Mini 3 Pro is the most affordable, user-friendly drone camera suitable for all levels!

This travel-sized drone captures 4K/60fps video, 48MP photo, and has 34 minutes flight time.

ZIP LINE AT TAGUINES LAGOON

Taguines Lagoon is a beautiful man-made vista right next to the ocean that is most popular for the 700-meter zip line that stretches over the water from one end of the lagoon to the other.

Located in Mahinog, it’s approximately a 45-minute drive from the main tourist area of Mambajao to reach Taguines Lagoon.

The zipline activity can be found at the J & A Fishpen Resort and the cost is 400 pesos. This includes a safety briefing, safety equipment, and an exhilarating zip-lining experience over the top of Taguines Lagoon.

There are a number of seafood restaurants and resorts dotted around the edges of the lagoon, perfect for a lunchtime meal or an overnight stay.

It’s also possible to go swimming in the lagoon which can be accessed from the roadside or through the entrances of most resorts. One resort even features an inflatable floating playground which would be super fun for the kids and adults who refuse to grow up!

TONGATOK BAY VIEWPOINT

Tongatok Bay is a stunning cove boasting one of the best coastline views you can experience on Camiguin Island!

Tongatok Bay is located in Mambajao, a short 5-minute drive from the center of town. It’s easy to find Tongatok Bay but at the same time, the viewpoint can be easily missed.

Search for Chan Lookout Point  on Google maps and this is the exact pin location of the viewpoint.

When you arrive at the jump-off point on the side of the main road, you can walk to the edge of the cliffs to find the Tongatok Bay viewpoint which overlooks an awe-inspiring ocean cove lined with coconut palm trees.

Tongatok Cove is unbelievably picturesque and worthy enough to be found on the front of a postcard.

If you want to go all out and have the ultimate experience, you can book an oceanfront room at Tongatok Cliff Resort and enjoy uninterrupted views of this stunning coastline right from your very balcony!

TUASAN FALLS

Tuasan Falls is hands down  my favorite waterfall on Camiguin Island and arguably the best! It’s not quite as popular as Katibawasan Falls but it is without a doubt one of the latest up-and-coming Camiguin tourist spots.

Tuasan Falls is located in Catarman, approximately a 30-minute drive from the main tourist area of Mambajao and the entrance fee is 75 pesos.

A 20-meter-high waterfall and the freshwater stream is the first thing you’ll see as you walk around the bend from the jump-off point. The stream is also incredibly clear with a tinge of turquoise colors!

There are two rock pools at Tuasan Falls, the first pool is filled by the strong flow of water from the falls which then cascades down into the second pool.

The rock pools seem to have been excavated along the edges making them wider to accommodate visitors. Although the swimming holes at Tuasan Falls have been somewhat man-made, they have done well to preserve its natural beauty.

My favorite thing about Tuasan Falls is the vivid flora and fauna surrounding the area, adding to the tranquil vibe and peacefulness. We spotted many birds, lizards, and butterflies while hanging out beneath the canopy of the jungle that enveloped the falls.

We were lucky enough to have Tuasan Falls completely to ourselves as we got there quite early in the morning which made our visit even more enjoyable.

If you want to experience this tourist spot in Camiguin without the crowds as we did, definitely try to get here as early as possible.

HIKE MT HIBOK HIBOK

One Camiguin tourist spot you can’t skip is the almighty Mt Hibok Hibok , standing tall at 1,332 meters above sea level. Hiking to the top of this active volcano is one heck of an adventure to be had on the island!

My friends and I had every intention of hiking Mt Hibok Hibok for sunrise one morning but due to poor weather conditions, our trip was canceled…

We were up and ready to go at 2 o’clock in the morning to meet with our trekking guide but heavy rains persisted. Ah well, I guess I have a valid excuse to go back again one day!

From what our guide had told us, the hike to the summit of Mount Hibok Hibok takes 3 to 4 hours from bottom to top depending on one’s fitness levels and hiking capabilities.

The Mount Hibok Hibok volcano hike can be done as a day trip from Mambajao which begins at 6:00 am and returns around 3:00 pm, though it will be very hot hiking under the blazing sun during these hours.

My recommendation would be to start the hike at 2:00 am to make it to the summit for sunrise and be back down by around 10:00 am.

Panoramic views await at the summit, boasting extensive views of the neighboring islands of Siquijor, Bohol, and Surigao on a clear day! Not to mention you can see right down into the mossy volcanic crater of Mt Hibok Hibok!

To book the Mt Hibok Hibok hike, contact Alex from Camiguin All In One and he will be happy to help you organize this.

If you do end up completing the Mount Hibok Hibok hike, let me know your experience in the comments below!

BINANGAWAN FALLS

Binangawan Falls is one only a hidden gem but also one of the best tourist spots in Camiguin Island!

Imagine a clear stream of water gracefully cascading down more than 70 meters, culminating in a plunge pool that is perfect for a refreshing swim.

You’ll need a motorbike or a tricycle to reach Binangawan Falls, and once there, you’ll have to take the trail to the falls, which is quite steep and sometimes slippery.

Once at the falls, you can indulge in a picnic by the base and relax for as long as you want. While the way to get there is a little challenging, it’s definitely worth it and you’ll likely won’t see anyone!

Last but certainly not least for this tourist destination in Camiguin, there’s no entrance fee!

HAVE A MEAL AT LA DOLCE VITA

If you’re looking for an amazing culinary experience (and, for that matter, a Camiguin Island tourist spot), then look no further than La Dolce Vita.

This Italian restaurant is arguably the best on the island, serving up delicious, authentic Italian cuisine that will leave you blown away. No matter what you order, pizza, bruschetta, or pasta, you’ll have a great meal.

Plus, you have the added bonus of being able to watch the pizza being cooked in a brick oven. The service is outstanding, and the price is very reasonable. On top of that, the restaurant is right by the airport, so you can have a meal when landing or before departing!

Can you think of a better meal and tourist spot Camiguin Island offers?

BEST PLACES TO EAT IN CAMIGUIN

One of the most popular places to eat on the island is  Check Point Camiguin.

It’s a BBQ-style restaurant in the center of town offering a range of local cuisine including pork, stir frys, soups, and western-style dishes such as pizzas, pasta, curries, burgers, etc… There is also a bar offering a wide selection of beers, wines, and spirits!

Another decent option for food and drinks is Hagahay Cafe serving up fresh juices and smoothie bowls. Or you can try Alco Lion  for the best burgers and beers on the island.

If you want to enjoy a delicious Spanish-style meal with good wifi, you can check out Peninsular Kape Art, within walking distance from the White Island Ferry Terminal in Mambajao.

My friends and I spent an entire afternoon here using the only decent wifi we could find on the island and I ordered a Spanish paella dish along with a few beers to wash it down.

It’s located right on the oceanfront, which is also a great spot to watch the sunset!

18 Camiguin Tourist Spots You Shouldn’t Miss (Sunken Cemetery, White Island, Katibawasan Falls, and MORE!)

0  Comments

by  Manoling Martinez

January 27, 2023

Note: This post may include affiliate links. Read more about this here .  

You may have heard that Camiguin has more volcanoes than towns. 

But… say… did you know that Camiguin has the highest tourist spots per square kilometer ratio? 

For such a small island, Camiguin is BURSTING with so much beauty all around, you’ll be shocked. 

From white sand beaches to magical cold springs, to powerful waterfalls, and even a mysterious underwater cemetery, Camiguin has it all. 

After exploring the island for a week, I’m going to share with you my favorite spots – from the super popular, to the not-so-well-known! 

These are the best Camiguin tourist spots you can check out! 

(I made up the square-kilometer-ratio thing, but it certainly feels right!) . 

The Best Camiguin Tourist Spots (18 Spots You Should Check Out!)

For this list, I’m not going to list the spots in random order.

Instead, it’s a strange combination of my personal favorites / what I believe everyone should see / the ones that aren’t too difficult to visit / trying to diversify the list so it’s not all the same type of attraction kind of thing. 

So without further adieu, here they are! 

• Sto. Nino Cold Spring
• Mantigue Island
• Katibawasan Falls
• White Island
• Sunken Cemetery
• The Old Volcano
• Mt. Hibok Hibok
• Guiob Old Church Ruins
• Tuasan Falls
• Bura Soda Water Park
• Katunggan Park
• Tongatok Viewdeck
• Giant Clam Sanctuary
• Parola Mambajao + 1914 Monument
• Ardent Hot Spring
• Taguines Lagoon
• Sto. Rosario Church
• Moro Moro Watchtower

If you’re familiar with some of these, you might be surprised that they’re so low down. 

I’ll get to that, but first, let’s start with:

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #1: Sto. Nino Cold Spring

Probably my personal favorite! 

There are hundreds (if not thousands!) of cold springs all over the Philippines. But few of them are as good as Sto. Nino cold spring in Catarman. 

It has the perfect balance of being developed enough that casuals can enjoy it, but not overdeveloped that it loses its natural beauty (a theme you’ll find throughout Camiguin) . 

There are a few tables around the spring where you can chill. They have comfort rooms to change in. And there’s even a “kiddie pool”, a shallow area separated from the main swimming area (kiddie spring, if you will) . 

But the real star is, of course, the spring itself. 

When you get in, you’ll immediately find two things:

• They’re not lying when they say COLD spring (seriously, the water IS cold), and
• The water is a magical blue

From above, the water reflects the nature around it, so it appears green. But once you’re in, you’ll realize just how blue it really is! 

The swimming area is so large, you can call it a lake if you want. 

And it’s pretty deep. Deep enough you can duck dive down, but not too deep that you can’t get some cool photos with the rocks underneath. 

Once you’re finished swimming, you can lounge around the spring. Right outside the entrance, you can also buy souvenirs, or try Camiguin’s famous snack, kiping! 

Facts About Sto. Nino Cold Spring

Fees: Entrance is php75/head ($1.5). You can also rent the tables there for php150 ($3). 

Opening/Closing Time: Sto. Nino cold spring is open from 11am-5pm on Monday and Thursday, and 8am-5pm every other day of the week. 

How to Get There: Sto. Nino Cold Spring is found in Catarman, a few minutes uphill from the highway. Most Camiguin tours will include this in the itinerary. 

If not, the easiest way to get there is to rent a motorbike and use Google Maps. You can also hail a habal-habal (motorcycle taxi) and ask them to take you here. Don’t forget to ask them to wait for you outside since public transportation in Camiguin is very limited. 

Planning Notes: Tuasan Falls and the Bura Soda Water Spring are just nearby Sto. Nino cold spring. If you want to make the most out of your trip, try to include these in your plans while you’re in the area! 

I highly prefer Sto. Nino over Bura Soda Water Park. So I recommend spending more time here than over there!

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #2: Mantigue Island

Camiguin is a volcanic island. 

This means you’ll hardly find any good white-sand beaches in Camiguin island itself. 

But off the coast, you’ll find 2 FANTASTIC white sand islands: White Island and Mantigue Island. 

Both are must-sees, but if you could only see one, I’d say go for Mantigue. 

Because aside from having a white sand beach, the waters that surround the island are also teeming with life! 

And I’m not talking about tiny fish scattered here and there. If you swim a little way off to the floating raft, you’ll find one of the best coral reefs in the country. 

You’ll see school upon school of colorful fish – both small and BIG. And to top it all off, you’ll find SEA TURTLES here too! 

Whether you’re snorkeling, freediving, or scuba diving, you’re very likely to come across one of these friendly creatures here! 

Outside the water, you’ll find tables and cottages where you can chill. There’s no food on the island, so make sure you bring some along.

Unlike White Island, there are plenty of trees to give you shade when the sun gets hot. And if you want a little adventure, you can walk around the whole island. 

On your little trip, you’ll see the other, crowdless side of the island.

You’ll find a hidden tire swing. 

An abandoned house. And a tower that – if you’re like me and have nothing better to do – you can climb to get a nice bird’s eye view. 

Facts About Mantigue Island

Fees: The boat fee to get to Mantigue is php750 ($15), good for four people for 3 hours on the island. There’s also an entrance fee of php75/head ($1.5). Both of these are paid before departure. 

You can ask your boatman to circle around the island and get pictures of you too. We paid php200 ($4) for this, although I’m not sure it’s a standardized rate! 

Finally, on the island, you can rent a shed for php150 ($3), or a plastic table and chair set for php100 ($2). 

If you want to snorkel in the reef (which you should!) , you’ll also have to pay a snorkeling fee of php50/head ($1). Snorkels are also available on the island for rent! 

Opening/Closing Time: The island opens at 6am, and closes at 5 pm, with the last trip leaving at 3 pm. Take note that after 3pm, there won’t be any boats going to the island anymore, so plan accordingly!

How to Get There: The port to get to Mantigue is found in Mahinog, just a few minutes away from Benoni Port. From the port to the island takes around 15 minutes. 

As always, Mantigue is usually included in tours. It’s also very easy to hail a habal-habal from Benoni Port to the Mantigue jump-off area. 

If you’re driving a scooter or a car, you can search “Mantigue Island Departure Area” on Google maps! 

Planning Notes: Your boat isn’t going to wait for you on the island. If possible, they’ll try to get back to the mainland to drive more passengers. 

Your boatman will be back 3 hours later, but if you aren’t planning to stay that long, you should plan with your boatman.

Secondly, bring food! 

Or at least snacks. 

We were warned that there were no stores on the island, but we didn’t really think about it too much. 3 hours later, we couldn’t wait for our boat to come back because we were hungry! 

You can split your 3 hours in Mantigue into sections. 

In the first hour, you can go snorkeling. 

On the second, you can explore the whole island. 

And on the third, you can just relax and chill on the beach, or eat lunch/snacks (if you’re smarter than us and actually brought food) . 

Of course, your itinerary on the island can look completely different. But for me, that’s the best way to get the full Mantigue experience! 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #3: Katibawasan Falls 

Like waterfalls?

Then you’ll love Katibawasan! 

Dropping 250 feet from above, this waterfall is the tallest in Camiguin. It’s also the most accessible.

Getting here is a breeze since it’s found right on the outskirts of Mambajao. You won’t have to hike through any forest either, although you will have to go down about 100-200 steps. 

The waterfall drops into a little pool where you can dip your feet or swim. When you get closer, you’ll notice a cool phenomenon where some water spills out of the steep rock wall – sort of like mini waterfalls beside the giant majestic one. 

But don’t get too close to the falls! 

Since it’s so high, you can seriously hurt yourself if you get underneath – not to mention falling rocks. 

Like a lot of Camiguin’s tourist spots, there are also plenty of tables and chairs that you can rent here. There’s also a store right outside the entrance where you can buy snacks – such as Kiping! 

Facts About Katibawasan Falls

Fees: Entrance fee is at php75 ($1.5), with sheds and tables for rent at php150 ($3) and php100 ($2) respectively. 

How to Get There: As always, the easiest way to get here is by renting a motorbike and using Google Maps! 

Since Katibawasan is close to Mambajao, it shouldn’t be difficult to find a motorbike taxi here though. 

Planning Notes: Katibawasan Falls is the closest attraction to Mambajao (only 13 minutes away from the airport) . However, there aren’t many other tourist spots nearby. 

That’s why when planning your trip, you can always keep Katibawasan as a “last minute” spot before hopping on your plane home. Just stay off the pool if you don’t wanna be bringing wet clothes on your flight! 

Katibawasan is also one of the best places to enjoy Kiping – a local snack made from casava drizzled with molasses. 

Outside the entrance, there’s a small store where you can buy this snack and take it with you inside! 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #4: White Island

One of the most popular tourist spots in Camiguin has to be White Island. 

In fact, it’s one of the main reasons people come to Camiguin in the first place! 

There isn’t much marine life to explore here, nor is there any shade to hide from the sun, but who can resist such a beautiful sandbar out in the middle of the sea? 

The water is clearer than you’ve ever seen, and the sand is so fine and white, that it can rival all the top beaches in the country (even Boracay !). 

People come here as early as 5:30 am for a chill swim or to bask in the eternal sunshine of the island. 

From White Island, you’ll also get a majestic view of Camiguin island and its peaks – most notably, Mount Hibok-Hibok. 

And if you’re not the type to go sunbathing, you can easily rent a beach umbrella set from the boat operators. 

Facts About White Island

Fees: The boat fee to get to White Island is php550 ($11), good for four people. There’s also an entrance fee of php50/head ($1). 

When you’re on the island, you can rent a beach umbrella set for php150 ($3). This set includes an umbrella and some mats so you can relax on the sand. 

Opening/Closing Time: Trips to White Island start at 5:30am and end at 4pm. At 5pm, the island closes and guests are asked to return to the mainland. 

How to Get There: The port to get to White Island is found on the outskirts of Mambajao – about halfway from the town to the tourist zone of Catarman. 

From Mambajao, you can ride an orange west-bound tricycle to take you here. 

Or, you can search for “White Island Ferry Terminal” on Google maps! 

Planning Notes: Go early! 

Remember, White Island is a bare sandbar. There’s no cover from the sun unless you rent an umbrella. 

That’s why getting there before sunrise is probably the best time to enjoy White Island. 

If you go really early like 5:30am, you can also avoid the queue for boats. White Island gets a lot of visitors, so if you come at around 6-7am, you may have to wait a few minutes before getting a boat (like us!) . 

Since White Island right in the middle of Mambajao and Catarman, you can start the day here, then move on to Catarman spots like Sto. Nino Cold spring, Tuasan Falls, etc. 

Or, you can do what we did. We started the day at White Island. Then, when the sun got too hot, we made our way over to Mantigue. Our own little “island hopping” if you will. 

You can also go at sunset, but keep in mind that all boats leave White Island at 5pm. 

Also, fun fact: There was also a man selling fresh sea-urchin when we were there.

If you’re brave enough, give it a try! 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #5: Sunken Cemetery

Sunken Cemetery is Camiguin’s most recognizable landmark. 

And it’s a REALLY intriguing one too. 

The story goes that when Mt. Vulcan (the “Old Volcano”) erupted in the 1870s, the earthquake was so strong that an entire portion of Camiguin island collapsed into the sea. In that portion was an old Spanish cemetery, hence the name “Sunken Cemetery”. 

While it certainly is a very unique and interesting place, don’t expect to see rows of gravestones or skeletons here! 

After over a hundred years, most of the cemetery remains are now gone, and replaced with a sprawling coral reef! 

Aside from the reef, you’ll also see some majestic purple giant clams here. 

A giant cross and view deck were also built a stone’s throw away from the shore. You can swim or ride a boat here, and enjoy the glorious Camiguin sunset. 

However, not everything from the old cemetery disappeared. 

If you swim around the view deck, you’ll find an old gravestone and bust from the cemetery. 

And if you swim even further away, you’ll find the old cross –  a big, cement cross that was actually part of the original cemetery. 

Aside from that though, don’t expect too much! 

I came here expecting much more, so I was slightly disappointed – even though the giant cross and view deck in and of themselves make the trip well worth it already! 

Facts About Sunken Cemetery

Fees: Entrance is free, but there are several fees on Sunken Cemetery depending on what you plan to do. 

For a boat ride to the cross, that’ll cost you php100 ($2). 

If you wanna swim, there’s a swimming fee of php100 ($2). 

Then, if you want a guide (which you should get if you want to see the giant clams and the sunken cross) , that’ll cost you php150 ($3). 

You can also rent lifevest, masks, and snorkels if need be. 

Keep in mind that these fees are paid in the green building ACROSS the road from the Sunken Cemetery gate. It’s a good idea to head over there before entering, so you won’t have to walk all the way back like we did. 

Opening/Closing Time: Sunken Cemetery does not have an official opening and closing time. 

However, most of the guides (and I believe the boatmen too) go home at around 5pm, so it’s a good idea to be a bit earlier than that. 

How to Get There: The entrance to Sunken Cemetery is a little bit difficult to find. The jump-off point doesn’t show up in Google Maps, just the monument itself. 

You can go to that general area and ask locals for help like we did. 

Or, you can search for “Bask 45 Bistro” instead. Directly across that restaurant is a faded white gate – that’s the entrance to Sunken Cemetery. 

Planning Notes: Sunken Cemetery is very close by to the Guiob Old Church Ruins and the Walkway to the Old Volcano. 

Planning to visit all these 3 in one go is a great idea! 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #6: Walkway to the Old Volcano

If you’re in for a quick workout, then you should make some time to climb the Old Volcano! 

Mount Vulcan, the volcano that sent the cemetery under the water, has a walkway to a nice clearing where you can get views of the Sunken Cemetery from above.

It’s a mix of stairs, cemented walkways, and some rugged-but-clear paths to the clearing. You won’t get to the top of Mount Vulcan, but you’ll get high enough to get a really nice view. 

Along the path, you’ll also encounter the stations of the cross – a visual story of the crucifixion of Christ. Some people bring candles and pray at each of these stations. 

The “hike” isn’t too difficult, especially at the first six stations. At some point, the path gets a little steep, but nothing healthy people can’t handle. 

Most people can reach the top in about 30 – 40 minutes, making it a nice quick workout with rewarding views! 

Facts About the Walkway to the Old Volcano

Fees: The only fee here is the entrance fee, which is php75 ($1.5)!

Opening/Closing Time: The Old Volcano opens at 7:30 am, and closes at 5pm. 

Since there’s no gate and no need for guides, you can actually go up anytime. However, to support the maintenance of the trail, it’s best to go during their open hours. 

How to Get There: The Walkway to the Old Volcano can easily be found in Google Maps. It’s also very obvious from the highway – just look for big stairs leading up the mountain! 

Planning Notes: Again, this spot is very near the Sunken Cemetery and the Guiob Church Ruins. 

However, climbing to the top does take some time, so make sure you plan to stay at least 1 hour (maybe even 1:30) here. 

Some people don’t go all the way to the top and just take some pictures in the trail. 

But for me, that makes the whole thing not worth it since the best part of this spot is the view of the Sunken Cemetery below! 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #7: Mt. Hibok Hibok

Mt. Hibok-Hibok is a popular attraction, but I have to give you a BIG warning:

This spot is ONLY for the physically fit!

Unlike the Old Volcano, which almost anyone can climb, Mount Hibok-Hibok is a challenging hike. 

Climbing Hibok-Hibok means 3-5 hours of walking up steep inclines. In some areas, you’ll have to scramble and use your hands to climb up and up. 

There’s even one section where you’ll need to climb a rope!

You’ll be surrounded by nature all around. I’m talking ALL around. When the trail gets narrow, you’ll have to push aside bushes and shrubs, and there are thorns and leeches lurking around here too.

But I don’t mean to scare you away!

Oh no, no. 

I just HAVE to give you a warning since Mt. Hibok-Hibok is often listed (a little pre-maturely) as a “tourist spot” of Camiguin, leading people to think it’s an easy hike. 

When in reality, our guide told us that MANY people quit when they realize that it isn’t just a casual stroll. We were even told that plenty of people break down in tears. 

But if you’re up for the challenge you’ll be GREATLY rewarded! 

Higher up, unique flora and fauna will surround you wherever you look – including mossy forests and endemic bird species! 

And after about 2-3 hours of hiking, you’ll get to the crater of Mount Hibok-Hibok. Is a nice, flat, grassy area, with a little lake where you can take a dip if you want.

The crater area is also where you can set camp if you’re staying overnight. 

From there, it’s about another hour heading up to the peak. This is where you’ll get a breathtaking view of Camiguin from above. 

Unfortunately, there was heavy fog when we got there. So all we could do was sit and watch the mysterious fog float by.

But on our way down, we could see White Island allllll the way down there like a little speck. You can also see Bohol to the north and Surigao to the east! 

Facts About Mt. Hibok-Hibok

Fees: To climb Mt. HIbok-Hibok, you’ll need to pay an environmental fee of php200/head. You’ll also need to hire a guide for php1,200 for up to 3 people (although the 3 people limit doesn’t seem to be strictly followed) . 

You can pay these to your guide before starting your hike. 

Opening/Closing Time: Hibok-Hibok doesn’t have an opening or closing time (of course not, it’s a mountain!) . Guides recommend starting your climb at 5am, and have brunch at either the crater area or the summit. 

However, you can really choose anytime to go. You can even stay overnight if you want to! Just be sure to coordinate with your guide.

How to Get There: To climb Mt. Hibok-Hibok, the best thing to do is to contact a local guide beforehand. 

You can message the Hibok-Hibok environmental office on Facebook for help, or you can refer to this list they sent me below! 

We contacted Jerald Rabile, which turned out to be a pretty good choice. Apparently, the Rabile family has some strong roots on the mountain – his grandpa was literally the guy that trailblazed it! 

Other than that, there are two trails to the summit of Hibok-hibok. One starts at Ardent Hot Spring (this trail was closed when we were there) , and the other starts near the Yumbing Market (this is where we met our guide) . 

We jumped off at 5am, reached the summit at around 10am, started our descent at 11am, and were back in Yumbing at around 2pm. 

Planning Notes: REMEMBER to bring food and enough water! 

If you’re used to hiking, you should already know how much water to bring. For us, we brought 5 liters each, which turned out to be just right. 

If you’re a first-timer, keep in mind that more water = more weight. More weight which you’re definitely going to feel at the start of the climb. 

Being a first-time climber, I actually dumped 1 liter at the start of the climb. It made things lighter, but I regretted it when we were going down as I now had to ration my water (There’s only one water source in Hibok-Hibok, and it’s found right at the start of the trail). 

As for food, it’s proper etiquette (if you can call it that) to bring some for your guide as well. 

You can bring any kind of food or snacks you want. We bought Jollibee burgers from Mambajao the night before and ate those at the crater. 

As for the time, I fully believe that the guide’s recommendation to jump off at 5am is best. 

Starting this early allows you to take your time going up. And when you’re done your hike, you still have time to go and visit another spot. Yumbing Market is just across the road from the White Island dock, so maybe you could go check that out? 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #8: Guiob Church Ruins (The Old Church Ruins)

But okay… let’s take a step back to something everyone (not just the physically fit) can enjoy:

The Old Guiob Church Ruins! 

Unlike the sunken cemetery, the Guiob church survived Mt. Vulcan’s eruption in the 1870s. It lost its roof, but today it still stands tall, covered in moss and other plant life. 

From the road, you might miss these old, moss-covered ruins. But once you’re in, you’ll find that it’s actually quite big inside! You could even call it a park. 

On the inside, you’ll also find trees lined up perfectly alongside the ruins. 

You’ll find the ruins of this tower. 

And you’ll also see a giant, GIANT tree. 

With some benches around, the Guiob church ruins are a great place to relax after a day of exploring. 

Facts About Guiob Old Church Ruins

Fees: To get inside, you’ll have to pay a php75 ($1.5) entrance fee. 

Opening/Closing Time: The Old Church Ruins opens at 8am and closes at 5:30pm. 

How to Get There: From Sunken Cemetery, all you have to do is drive west for about a minute and you’ll spot the Old Church Ruins from the road. 

If you miss it, you can always Google “Old Spanish Church Ruins” to find it! 

Planning Notes: Make sure to plan some time here! 

This isn’t a typical old church, where all you do is take pictures and go. 

Nope, this place has a park on it, and many old ruins to admire. I highly recommend going the “Camiguin way” and taking it slow here and taking the time to admire all the beautiful ruins (and that giant tree) . 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #9: Tuasan Falls

No, Tuasan isn’t as tall or powerful as Katibawan falls. But if Katibawasan Falls felt a little too “developed” for your taste, then you might prefer these falls instead. 

Yes, there are also tables and chairs where you can hang out here. And there are restrooms where you can change.  

But because Tusans falls is found high up in the mountains ( rather than just a few minutes away from the town) , it gets a lot fewer visitors. 

You’ll absolutely love this falls if you want to avoid the crowds! 

There also aren’t any vendors waiting outside the entrance. At times, you might even feel like you’re all alone in some hidden waterfall in the jungle!

Of course, again, Tuasan is far from a secret spot. 

You’ll even find a little “Hollywood Sign” as you drive towards it. 

Facts About Tuasan Falls

Fees: Entrance to Tuasan costs the standard php75 ($1.5), while renting a shed is php150 ($3), and a table and chair set php100 ($2).

Are you beginning to notice a pattern here? 

Opening/Closing Time: Tuasan Falls opens at 8am and closes at 5pm! 

How to Get There: Tuasan is quite a way away from the highway. If you’re riding a habal-habal, make SURE you ask him to wait for you because you’ll be stranded if you don’t! 

But if you have your own ride, finding Tuasan is as easy as Googling “Tuasan Falls”. The drive up to Tuasan is quite a scenic one as well, with the road flowing along with the river at times. 

There’s also plenty of signages around leading you the way. 

Planning Notes: As mentioned before, Tuasan is in the vicinity of Bura Soda Water, so visiting those two back-to-back makes a lot of sense. 

Sto. Nino Cold Spring is also close by! 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #10: Bura Soda Water Park

Another unique spot to check out is the Bura Soda Water Spring. 

No, the water here does NOT bubble and fizz like I was led to believe. 

And no, this isn’t a hot spring. 

Instead, it’s unique because you can actually DRINK the water. 

That’s right. The whole concept behind this place is that the water is supposed to taste like soda. 

Well… Does it?

No, not really. 😂

Instead, it tastes pretty much the same as any fresh-from-the-rock spring water does. Definitely tastes a little different from bottled water, but it’s not a bad taste at all! 

Now before you go and drink the water that people are swimming in, stop! That’s not the one you can drink! 

Instead, over at the side, there’s a little station with pipes bringing the fresh spring water non-stop. This is where you can have a drink. 

Aside from the “soda water”, the park is also a chill place to swim or just unwind. 

The water here is in a shade of green, unlike the bursting blue of Sto. Nino Cold Spring!

Facts About Bura Soda Water Park

Fees: Can you guess? 

That’s right. 

Php75 ($1.5) for entrance. 

Php150 ($3) for a shed. 

And php100 ($2) for a table and chairs set. 

Who would’ve thought? 

Opening/Closing Time: Bura Soda Water Park opens at 8am and closes at 5pm. It’s almost important to note that this park is CLOSED on Mondays! 

How to Get There: Like Tuasan, there’s plenty of signs that’ll point you the way to the Soda Water. 

Or, you know, just Google it. 

If you don’t have a car or bike, you’ll be happy to know that this place isn’t as isolated as Tuasan. There’s actually some people living nearby. However, I still recommend asking your driver to wait for you if ever. 

Planning Notes: Here’s a little secret:

This place was a little underwhelming for me. 

I mean sure, it’s a nice place that’s worth visiting. Plus, their whole “drink the soda water” thing is quite fun. 

But if you compare it side-by-side with the nearby Sto. Nino cold spring, it pales a bit. 

Just my thoughts though! 

I still highly recommend you visit this place. But if I had to give you some planning advice, it’d be to give more time for Sto. Nino than this one! 

Also, there was a guy selling Bibingka outside when we visited. It was REALLY good. The guy seems to travel from spot to spot though, so you may or may not catch him here. 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #11: Katunggan Mangrove Park

By now, you might get the impression that Camiguin is pretty action-packed. 

While that’s true, there are also pretty places here that are ALL about chilling. 

Case in point?

The Katunggan Mangrove Park! 

This is probably the most laid-back spot on this list. All it is is a wooden walkway that takes you into the mangrove forest. 

I found the mangroves here interesting because instead of thin trunks, these mangroves had thick trunks.

Plus, on the low tide, there were plenty of young mangroves peeping out of the mud. It looked quite otherworldly. 

There are several benches where you can sit down and relax. Or, you can rent a small hut if you’re staying for a while. 

There’s also a little store outside where you can buy some snacks like chips and coke. 

All in all, if you’re short on time, this is one spot that you can skip. But if you’ve got time – or if you’re riding a motorbike around the whole island – this is a great place to stop over!  

Facts About Katunggan Mangrove Park

Fees: Surprisingly, the entrance to this park is only php20 ($0.40). You can also rent a shed for php150 ($3) which is good for 3 hours. 

Opening/Closing Time: Katunggan Park opens at 8am and closes at 5pm. 

How to Get There: Katunggan Park is just a few minutes south of Benoni Port. Right after the Taguines Lagoon, you’ll find it. 

Because it’s along the highway, you might be able to catch a tricycle or jeepney heading this way. I can’t say for certain though. If you’re gonna use public transportation, make sure to ask the locals! 

Of course, the best way is just to rent a bike and use Google Maps. 

Planning Notes: As said before, this is really a spot that you can leave out if you’re short on time. It seems to be more of a place for locals to chill, or for team-building activities. 

But since it’s so close to Benoni Port, you can actually relax here while waiting for your boat. 

Or, if you’re already doing a trip around the whole Camiguin, this is definitely a great place to stopover. 

Finally, if you have too much time like we did, then why not check it out? 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #12: Tongatok Cliff and Viewdeck (Chan Lookout Point)

Picture this:

It’s sunset. You’re sitting on the grassy edge of a cliff, with a breathtaking view of Camiguin’s rocky shore. Below you, the waves crash endlessly on the rocks, and above you, the sky goes on and on and on into the horizon. 

Welp, that’s exactly what you’ll get in the Tongatok cliff! 

While it’s true that you can get an amazing sunset view in a lot of places around Camiguin, Tongatok cliff is one of the more popular spots – and for good reasons! 

First, of course, the view from here is amazing. 

But other than that, it’s also at a very convenient location. 

Tongatok cliff is just a few minutes away from the Guiob Ruins and the Sunken Cemetery. Given that both of those spots close at 5pm, Tongatok cliff is a nice place to stopover on your way back to Mambajao. 

And finally, third, there’s a resort right beside the cliff. 

Inside the resort is the Tongatok Viewdeck – a nice little fenced area that’s great for pictures! There’s also a restaurant in the resort, which – if you’re already hungry from the day’s activities – is a convenient place to enjoy dinner! 

Fact About Tongatok Cliff and View Deck

Fees: FREE. 

It’s literally a cliff by the side of the road. Whose gonna charge you for that? 

Opening/Closing Time: None! 

How to Get There: On the way from Mambajao to Catarman, it’s hard to miss this cliff! You’ll also see the big white Tongatok resort. 

If you need the help of Google, you can always search for “Tongatok Cliff Resort” or “Chan Lookout Point”. 

Planning Notes: The BEST time to come here is during sunset. 

This is the type of place where you take things slow and ponder life – all while watching the waves crash on the rocks and the sun go down over the Land Born of Fire. 

Here’s a GIF I put together to give you an idea of what I’m talking about: 

Chilling here is also a great way to end your day of exploring. 

If you’re staying in Mambajao, and took a day exploring the Catarman spots (Sunken Cemetery, Sto. Nino Spring. etc.) , then this’ll be right on your way home. 

It’s so perfect! Most spots close at 5pm, so you can get here right on sunset. 

Then, you can drive back to Mambajao just in time for dinner. Or, you could even have dinner in the resort. 

Other Camiguin Tourist Spots

Those were the 12 BEST tourist spots in Camiguin that I personally recommend. 

There’s more! 

When I visited in June 2022, some of Camiguin’s most famous spots were closed for various reasons. 

Plus, I also found that some of the “tourist spots” listed by Camiguin’s tourism office weren’t that amazing. 

But hey, you’re reading this in the future! Maybe by the time you visit, these spots will be opened to the public already – or maybe they’ll be significantly better than they are today. 

So without further adieu, here are MORE Camiguin tourist spots! 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #13: Giant Clam Sanctuary

One of the very BEST things to see in Camiguin is the Giant Clam Sanctuary. 

I saw images online of rows of beautiful giant clams all lined up perfectly. 

Sadly, when I visited in June 2022, the sanctuary was closed for political reasons! 

The image above was taken from the Sunken Cemetery reef, where you can also find some giant clams. 

However, we were told that the clams in the sanctuary itself were much bigger and much more impressive. 

Hopefully, this site is opened by the time you’re reading this! 

Why Did Camiguin’s Giant Clam Sanctuary Close? 

Note: this is what I heard and deducted about the closing. This is NOT an official report! 

One thing you’ll notice in Camiguin is that most of the tourist spots seem to be regulated by the Camiguin Tourism Office. 

That’s why the prices are almost identical, as are the opening times. You’ll also see these “Clean Camiguin” signs everywhere. 

However, someone told us that the owner of the Giant Clam Sanctuary didn’t cooperate with this centralization, and therefore, his business was shut down by the government. 

Again, I have to stress this: 

This is NOT an official report, just what I heard! 

Hopefully, the Clam Sanctuary will reopen soon and we can visit it! 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #14: Parola Mambajao + The 1914 Monument

One spot I “discovered” on Google Maps is the Parola Mambajao – a tiny little park in the center of Mambajao. 

While it isn’t the most impressive, I found it to be a lovely little place to unwind, and maybe watch the sunset. 

Of course, if you’re short on time, this is one of the spots I’d definitely leave out since there’s nothing particularly special about it. It’s just a place where you can watch the locals, since this seems to be a favorite place for them. 

There’s also a giant “I Love Mambajao” sign here where you can take pictures. 

And a little further down the road is the 1914 Monument – an old water fountain that’s in the middle of a roundabout. 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #15: Ardent Hot Springs

Another spot that was closed when I visited was the Ardent Hot Spring. 

It was such a bummer since I’ve heard nothing but wonderful stories about this spring. 

The hot water comes from Mt. Hibok-Hibok (a volcano). On the way down to the man-made pools, it is cooled enough that you can enjoy swimming in the water. 

Sadly, the hot spring was closed on my visit due to there being “no water in the spring nowadays.” 

At least, that’s what my Hibok-Hibok guide told me. So I’m not sure when they’re going to reopen! 

Update: August 18, 2022 – Ardent Hot Springs has Reopened!

Camiguin’s tourism office just announced on their Facebook page that Ardent Hot Springs is officially reopened for tourists! 

They are still undergoing a renovation project, but you can now visit from 6am to 10pm. 

They didn’t announce the prices, but I’m assuming it’s the regular php75 ($1.5). 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #16: Taguines Lagoon

Another spot that used to be popular pre-covid days is the Taguines Lagoon. 

Taguines Lagoon is a manmade lagoon found right beside the Benoni Port. 

It used to be a place for recreational activities like kayaking. There’s even a zipline that’ll take you across the whole lagoon. 

Nowadays, it’s still a nice landmark if you’re driving around the whole Camiguin. Some of the locals also like swimming here.

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #17: Sto. Rosario Church

One activity I highly, HIGHLY recommend while in Camiguin is renting a motorbike and driving around the entire island (that’s why I mention it all the time!) . 

While you’re at it, you might want to stopover by the Sto. Rosario church in Sagay. 

As far as old churches go, Sto. Rosario isn’t one of the most spectacular in the country (trust me, we have AMAZING old churches around here) . 

It’s a very simple church, built in the 1880s using coral stones. 

However, it’s still a great place to stop and get a picture or two! Especially if you’re already in the area. 

Best Camiguin Tourist Spots #18: Moro-Moro Watchtower

Last but not least is the Moro-Moro Watchtower in Guinsiliban. 

If you grab a tourist map of Camiguin, this is a spot that usually shows up. 

It’s an important piece of history, since these watchtowers were built to warn of Moro pirate attacks on the island. 

However, Camiguin’s Moro tower really isn’t all that popular. And it’s actually quite difficult to find! 

I was driving a motorbike and was looking for it in Google Maps – but all it was leading me to was an elementary school. 

Apparently, the tower is found within the school’s premises. 

In hindsight, I probably should’ve asked the locals where the tower was. 

But I guess all I can do now is warn you where to find it – so you won’t feel lost like I was! 

Which Camiguin Tourist Spot Are YOU Most Excited About?

And there you have it!

Those are the 18 best tourist spots in Camiguin to check out! 

So which one are YOU most looking forward to?

Are you excited to bask in the sunshine of White Island?

Maybe to go freediving or scuba diving in Mantigue?

Or maybe you’re the type of person who can’t wait to dip in Sto. Nino cold springs, or chase waterfalls like Katibawasan and Tuasan. 

Or… maybe you’re ready for a real adventure, and wanna hike Mt. Hibok-Hibok?

Whatever the case, I hope this blog got you excited for your Camiguin trip. 

And if you don’t know what to expect from the island yet, go and check out my complete Camiguin travel guide here !

Relatively unspoiled and an ideal size for exploration, Camiguin (cah-mee-geen) is notable for its imposing silhouette – drop it down next to Hawaii or Maui and it wouldn’t look out of place. With more than 20 cinder cones 100m-plus high, Camiguin has more volcanoes per square kilometre than any other island on earth. And because it’s untouched by large-scale tourism and one of the more tranquil islands around – the 10km of Gingoog Bay separating the island from the mainland is partly responsible – those who do come feel proprietorial about this little jewel and guard news of its treasures like a secret. Besides the usual diving, snorkelling and sandy beaches (except for offshore ones, beaches have brown sand), Camiguin offers a chance to climb a volcano and a seeming endless supply of jungle waterfalls and hot and cold springs.

White Island Camiguin

The White Island is a stunning sandbar located off the coast of Camiguin, a picturesque island province in the Philippines. Camiguin is known for its white sand beaches, natural beauty, volcanoes, hot springs, and lush landscapes. The white island in Camiguin is probably one of Camiguin’s most popular tourist attraction to visit. The island is made up of white sand, however, when looking at it, it looks as if it is made of white coral. It is not very soft to walk in, but the view is breathless and the water is clear and refreshing.  They even have people who sell food on the beach if you get hungry. Be sure to try some of the fresh sea urchins!

While on White Island, there are limited facilities, as it is a protected area. However, visitors can bring their own food, drinks, and snorkeling gear. Snorkeling is a popular activity, as the surrounding waters are teeming with marine life and vibrant coral reefs. Remember to bring sunscreen and proper protection from the sun, as there is no shade on the island.

Hike Vulcan Volcano and see the stations of the cross 

This is an old volcano where you can easily get a great view of the entire island and the ocean as well. This is an uphill hike where you can climb up and stop at each of the stations of the cross. You will even find a small chapel at the top of the mountain with a large cross. The Philippines is a very religious country with Catholicism being the primary religion in the Philippines. Just don’t do what I did and hike this trail with flip-flops on, I regretted it and broke my sandals by the end of it.

Ardent Hibok Hibok Hot Spring

Ardent Hibok-Hibok or Mt Hibok-Hibok Hot Spring is located in Mambajao, the capital town of Camiguin. It is nestled at the base of Mount Hibok Hibok, an active stratovolcano and one of the main attractions on the island. The surroundings of Ardent Hibok-Hibok Hot Spring are lush and tropical, providing a serene atmosphere for visitors to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The steam rising from the pools adds to the tranquil ambiance. The mineral-rich waters of the hot spring are believed to have therapeutic benefits for various health conditions, including skin ailments and rheumatism. As with any natural hot spring, people often visit for relaxation and stress relief as well.

When you end your day on the white island, this is a great place to relax and let go of all your worries. There used to be a hot spring, however, because of the earthquake, there are only cold springs in this location. It is beautifully landscaped with manmade waterfalls and nets to prevent debris from above going into the clear drinkable water.  This is very cheap to get in, only costing about 30 pesos which is less than a US dollar. This was one of my favorite things to do in Camiguin.

Katibawasan Falls or Tuasan Falls

This waterfall is beautiful, however, there are so many waterfalls in the Philippines that are breathtaking.  If you have time, I would at least check out this waterfall. When I think of the Philippines, I think about all the beautiful waterfalls I will see across the country. There are so many natural waterfalls, oceans, and landscapes to experience in the Philippines. If you come here, you should at least visit one of these gorgeous waterfalls. 

Sto Niño Cold Spring

Sto. Niño Cold Spring is situated in the municipality of Catarman, on the northern coast of Camiguin Island. It is approximately 23 kilometers away from the capital town of Mambajao. As the name suggests, Sto. Niño Cold Spring is a natural cold spring, which means the water remains cool even during hot weather. The spring’s water comes from the surrounding rainforest, making it crystal clear and refreshing to swim in.

Like many other places in the Philippines, Sto. Niño Cold Spring has a local legend associated with it. According to the tale, during the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vulcan Daan in the 1870s, a local priest prayed for divine intervention, and the spring miraculously emerged, sparing the village from the lava’s destruction. The cold spring is now considered a symbol of protection and a testament to the locals’ faith.

One of the best places to cool down in the Philippines is the many cold springs and crystal-clear waters. If you are anything like me, you sometimes want to take a break from the salty seawater and just enjoy lounging around in freshwater. The cold water helps me relax and not have to worry about my eyes burning. The good thing about many of these cold springs are they are usually covered and help prevent you from direct sunlight. 

Giant Clam Sanctuary

The Giant Clam Sanctuary is a conservation site located in the municipality of Catarman, Camiguin, in the Philippines. This sanctuary is dedicated to the protection and preservation of endangered species of giant clams, which play a vital role in maintaining the health of coral reef ecosystems.

Situated in Barangay Bonbon on the northern coast of Camiguin Island, the Giant Clam Sanctuary is easily accessible and welcomes visitors interested in learning about these magnificent creatures and the importance of marine conservation. The sanctuary is home to several species of giant clams, including the colorful Tridacna gigas, Tridacna squamosa, Tridacna derasa, and Tridacna maxima. This sanctuary has a collection of over 2,500 which are located right in the ocean. If you decide to visit this area, please avoid wearing sunblock as it could damage these beautiful clams. This is a must when it comes to things to do in Camiguin.

Lounge and Swim at Paras Beach Resort

One of Camiguin’s most popular resorts on the Island is the Paras Beach resort. This resort is the most popular when it comes to things to do in Camiguin. There are many reasons for this from the great accommodation, beautifully designed pools areas, and more. It’s very kid-friendly and close to a lot of popular things within the Camiguin area. If you don’t go to Paras Beach resort you should at least relax at one of the many beach resorts or houses on the island. 

Mantigue Island Nature Park

Another island to hop from Camiguin is the popular Mantigue Island. This small island is located about 3.5 kilometers from the main island. It’s a great place to relax, go snorkeling, and see some crystal clear blue and green waters. You can easily take a boat there in about 20 minutes’ time. When traveling in the Philippines , we have a tendency to pack a picnic, so be sure to pack your own meals and of course bring your trash with you to preserve these beautiful beaches. 

Burias Shoals

If you enjoy diving, this is the perfect place to visit. This is a protected marine sanctuary that has some stunning coral, tropical fish, and so much more in this area that can be discovered under the sea. Frogfish, blue-spotted stingray, turtles, and big pufferfish are some of the local fish you can find in this area. This is also a great snorkeling site as well if you are uncomfortable with diving. You will also find Colorful coral reefs in the shallow waters. It’s a great place to get some beautiful nature underwater photos.

This is why most people travel to the Philippines is to be able to free dive. This is one of the most popular things to do in Camiguin for tourists. A lot of the waters here in the Philippines are crystal clear and beautiful to look at. You can easily get some free diving hours here as well. What I love about freediving in the Philippines is that the water is warm and you don’t have to worry about it being too cold and needing a wetsuit. The water temperatures are absolutely perfect which makes it a great location to get your feet wet.

Bura Soda Water Park

This is the perfect location for kids. Water parks in the Philippines are fun and relaxing and the waters are cool and a bright blue. The water is good to swim in and supposedly tastes like a side which is where it gets its name. What is great about this place is that you don’t have to worry about the toxic chemicals of chlorine and enjoy natural spring water swimming pool to swim in.

Sunken Cemetery

The former capital of Camiguin, along with its cemetery, now lies submerged under the sea. During low tide, the sunken land and gravestones are still visible. However, from 1948 to 1953, the area experienced further sinking as Mount Vulcan erupted again, causing the sunken land to plunge even deeper, reaching depths of around twenty feet. In 1982, a significant large cross was erected on the solidified lava, serving as a poignant marker for the resting place of the Camiguin people’s ancestors. This location has since been referred to as the “Sunken Cemetery.” The site holds historical significance, reminding visitors of the area’s past and the importance of preserving its cultural heritage.

Buy and eat some Pastel de Camiguin and Lanzones

Pastel de Camiguin is a famous local delicacy and a must-try when on the island. It is a sweet, soft bun filled with a rich and creamy yema (custard) filling. These buns are often sold individually or in boxes, making them a perfect snack or souvenir to take home.

Lanzones is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia, and Camiguin is famous for producing some of the sweetest and juiciest lanzones in the Philippines. The fruit is small and oval-shaped, with a thin, yellowish to light brown skin. The translucent, juicy flesh inside is what makes it so delicious.

Explore Eco adventure at Mount Mambajao

An eco-adventure at Mount Mambajao, also known as Mount Hibok-Hibok, offers an exciting and immersive experience in the lush natural landscapes of Camiguin Island. Mount Hibok-Hibok is an active stratovolcano and is the highest peak on the island, making it a popular destination for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts.

Enjoy the View at Tungatok Viewdeck

The viewdeck offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and landscapes, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience the beauty of the region’s natural scenery.

There are some things that are just unique to this beautiful island. There are a lot of foods that are only local or native to certain areas and the way they make them.

It’s mostly a Visayan dish prominent in many parts of the southern part of the Philippines like Cebu City , Mindanao, and other areas that speak Bisayan, Cebuano, and Visayan.

• Sea Urchin  – I actually got to try this at the beach life and fresh. It’s absolutely delicious and usually served raw with vinegar. Although, I would suggest you be careful with this since unfortunately, some people can and do get sick off of this.

Best time to visit Camiguin Island

Weather in camiguin island.

To ensure the best Philippines Itinerary , be sure to travel during the best weather months. The best time to visit is between November and April during the dry season. During the summer months, you will have frequent monsoon rains which can be difficult to navigate and cancel a lot of ferries. However, that still doesn’t mean that you won’t have rain or issues with the weather during these months. From November through April, the weather is typically cooler as well, well cooler to Filipinos, but still generally warm where you are able to swim. The weather in the Philippines does not get cold unless you go high up into the mountains. It’s humid and hot typically all year long.

The Philippines is often crowded or busy during the Christmas season due to family flying back to the Philippines so tickets can often be more expensive during those months. The Philippines is a very Catholic country so a lot of families will go back to their hometowns and buses, ferries, etc, will be packed and oftentimes sold out. You will also experience a lot more traffic especially before, during, and after Christmas.

How to get around Camiguin Island

Trike or tricycles.

Trikes are a common form of transportation in the Philippines.  They are motorcycle-powered sidecars that can accommodate up to three passengers. Tricycles can take you to most tourist destinations and are readily available in the main towns and near popular attractions. Each area has slightly different. If you go to an area that has more hills, the trikes are more angled like a wheelie.  Some are larger like this one and others just hold about two people inside (which they often squeeze in more people to make costs cheaper).  If you want to travel like a local, be sure to take a Trike like this one or a Jeepney.  

Philippine Banka

In order to get to the white island, you must take a ride in a Banka. There is no other way to get to this wonderful island. Banka rides are fun and enjoyable. There are people on the beach there who sell you the lifejackets, however, Bankas is considered one of the safest boats to travel in. To visit the nearby islands and enjoy activities such as snorkeling, you can join boat tours organized by local operators. These tours are a great way to explore the marine wonders around Camiguin.

Hire a driver or rent a motorbike

You can easily hire a driver within the Philippines so if you are driving here from Cagayan de Oro or somewhere else, it will be best to hire a driver in one fo the bigger islands. You may need to pay for their accommodations as well. 

If that isn’t something you are interested in doing, you can also hire a trike driver for the day as well or if you feel comfortable, you can rent your own motorbike to  tour  the island. Renting a motorbike or scooter is a popular option for travelers who prefer more flexibility in their transportation. Several rental shops on the island offer motorbikes and scooters for daily or hourly rates.

For larger groups or those who prefer more comfort and convenience, van rentals with drivers can be arranged through local tour operators or rental companies. This option allows you to have a private tour tailored to your interests.

Keep in mind that while transportation options are available, the frequency of public transport might vary depending on the location and time of day. If you have specific places you want to visit or if you’re on a tight schedule, it’s a good idea to plan your transportation in advance or ask for recommendations from your accommodation provider. Also, always negotiate fares or rates before starting a trip and be prepared to pay in cash, as credit cards may not be widely accepted in smaller establishments.

Be sure to arrange a guide through your accommodation, and avoid the trail during or after rain, as the road and path can become dangerously slippery. The path starts opposite a small concrete building with several steps hacked out of the sand, and after about 50m, there’s a clearly visible trail on the right side.

Land Activities

The island celebrates Lanzones Festival every third week of October. The grand festival showcases a grand parade of street dancers wearing lanzones-inspired costumes.

Unlike Kiping in Lucban Quezon, which is made from ground rice, Kiping in Camiguin is made from Ground Casava. Kiping is fried till it becomes crispy, and once cooked, it’s served with coconut jam on top. If you want to try this delicacy, you would typically see this in souvenir shops near Katibawasan Falls.

Buy Pastel for Pasalubong

The vendor will crack its shell in the middle, remove some non-edible parts before pouring vinegar, and hand it to anyone who dares to eat it.

Camiguin is not only famous for its natural wonders but also its cultural and historical sites. These sites offer a glimpse into the island’s rich history and heritage.

Camiguin Tourist Spots & Things To Do on Camiguin The Philippines

From day 1 our Camiguin adventure was an interesting experience. As the days rolled by and we cruised around the island visiting popular tourist spots, we realized that we rarely met any western faces. Even at the popular tourist attractions, like the 70 meter Katibawasan waterfall, there was just 1 local family. No doubt that  Camiguin  is still an off-the-beaten-track destination and is just waiting to be explored. 

Camiguin  is known for the large concentration of volcanos. There are 7 volcanos on Camiguin (however only 1 is still considered active) which is impressive when you consider the size of the island. Cruising along Camiguin’s highlands with mountains on either side,  vantage points  that peeped out through the jungle looking onto the naked White Island and leading us along charming villages and to beautiful waterfalls. There is a list of things to do in Camiguin which will keep you occupied for days. It just so happens, some of Camiguin’s best tourist attractions are so unique. Such as a sunken cemetery, a church ruins and the 1 meter giant clams.

Camiguin is one of the Philippines’ less explored islands. And is surprisingly very easy to reach. With its airport that receives direct flights from Manila and Cebu, and a ferry departing every day from the nearby island Bohol, you could be on Camiguin within just a few hours. 

>>Check this guide for more details on how to get to Camiguin .

This guide will list the things to do on Camiguin. We spent 1 week exploring the island at an easy pace and 2 days were rainy. So anything between 3 and 5 days is good depending on your style of going about things.

>>This guide includes the perfect  3 day itinerary  on Camiguin .

Where to stay in Camiguin

Before we get into all the fun things, I will go through the best area to stay in Camiguin. This won’t take long since Camiguin has yet to be influenced by tourism and there is only 1 tourist area. 

Camiguin tourist area is in Mambajao in North Camiguin. However, Mambajao is a large municipality. If you want restaurants, resorts, sunset bars and tour organizers within walking distance, look for accommodation near the White Island ferry terminal. This is where the largest concentration of tourist amenities are located. 

Camiguin is already, in itself, a laid back destination. But if you want to go even more off the grid, you can find accommodation dotted all around the island. If you do choose this option you will be limited on places to eat, just keep that in mind.

Cruise Around Camiguin by Scooter

To really get a sense of orientation and figure out your surroundings, there is no better way than to cruise around the island on your own 2 wheels. Although riding a scooter on a tropical island and far from popular hot spots may not be an actual tourist spot, it is no doubt an amazing experience. We did this first thing in the morning on the following day of our arrival. It was a rainy morning and after few hiccups of showers here and there, the day finally cleared up. And what a day. Camiguin is such a chill island. Streets were almost empty and every village we passed by, kids would be playing around and chickens and goats roamed freely. Sometimes even cows and pigs. 

Camiguin has only 1 main road, the ring road. We took 2 hours to cruise all the way around the island. We stopped to take note of attractions that we saw. Made deviations into charming seaside villages. Saw a family of adorable little piglets. And waved to dozens of kids that were on their way to school. This scooter ride was definitely a great introduction to Camiguin.

Tuasan Falls

Tuasan is a powerful waterfall wedged between mountains in a municipality named Catarman. From Mambajao tourist area it will take 45 minutes to ride up to the waterfall. The fall is located on the side of the road that splits across the island and is one of Camiguin’s must visit tourist spots.

It turns out that Tuasan is so easily accessed that we only came across it by chance while riding around the island. And is wedged between mountains on the side of the only street that splits across the island. If you pass from this road, you are bound to see the entrance. A big Tuasan Falls sign in the parking area marks the jumping off point. From this point there is 3-minute walk along a paved path and you will be facing this beautiful cascade.

The ticket booth is on the way in, and entrance fee is 50 pesos (€0.90). Once we paid our tickets it took about 2 or 3 minutes and we were already looking at a beautiful waterfall. First thing we noticed was the 20 meter cascade and a pool with hints of blue iconic to the Philippines. Tropical trees and plants surround the fall, pool and smaller pool. The first pool is the biggest and is about shoulder deep. Perfect for a good swim in chilly water. 

>>Check the full guide to Tuasan Falls here .

White Island

Taking an early morning ferry over to White Island sandbar is the best activity in Camiguin. It only takes 10 minutes on an outrigger boat for you to be sinking your feet into the island’s white sand. And if you come here early enough, you will get what will seem like your own private little island. Mornings are the best time to avoid any crowds and you will also get the perfect light for photography.

In fact, we went to White Island in the morning. It was still dark when we set out of our accommodation. And as the day started to brighten up, we were already on the boat. Sunrise from White Island is amazing. And the view looking onto Camiguin island gives a perspective of how mountainous the place is.

We arrived on White Island and not a sole was around. This sandbar is rather small. But it took us about 10 minutes to cross since our feet kept sinking deep into the white sand. Fishermen started coming. All had bamboo baskets with fresh sea urchins. For 100 Pesos (€1.80) I got 6 urchins. It was like an explosion of sea in my mouth. Not the kind of food I would usually choose for breakfast but was definitely interesting. 

Crystal clear water surround white island. We could actually see all the corals on the seabed, that is how clear it is. However, the choppy sea conditions weren’t ideal and we decided not to swim. Not to mention, that the morning breeze was rather cold and it also rained at some point.

Keep in mind that White Island is naked. There are no trees, or anywhere protected from the sun. You can rent umbrellas from the island itself but I’m not sure on the price or how many the guy will have.

Katibawasan Waterfall

Katibawasan is an impressive waterfall just 20 minutes ride away from the touristic area of Mambajao. It just so happens that is the highest waterfall on Camiguin and also the highest cascade of water that we came across in the Philippines. And reaching the fall was just as amazing. We cruised along dense jungle nestling away charming villages. Kids were playing in the deserted streets and dogs were as usual just strolling around without a care in the world. 

We arrived at Katibawasan an hour or so before closing time. Just 1 car was in the parking lot. We paid the 50 Pesos (€0.90) entrance and made our way down the few stairs that lead through a pretty garden of tropical plants and vegetation. As we had thought there was only 1 family, and after a few photographs they too left. Having this stunning fall all to ourselves was amazing. A 70 meter waterfall cascades into crystal clear pool of water. No doubt this invited us to take a dip. And although the water was chilly, we still decided to take a plunge without a care in the world. Most of the pool is chest deep so you can actually walk. But the closer we got to the fall the deeper it got.

>>Check full guide to Katibawasn Falls here .

Walkway to the Old Volcano

The walkway to the Old Volcano is a one of Camiguin’s religious sites. All along the way dioramas that are called stations depict Christ’s crucification, death and finally his resurrection. Even if you’re not into such religious activities, the walkway is interesting and offers views looking down onto the ocean and all the surrounding landscape. I would say the trek is an easy one. Part of the way is paved but at certain point turns into a wide dirt path. There are 14 stations which splits the trek up into a mild enjoyable activity. And once you reach the top you will be greeted with a beautiful viewpoint.

If you’re adventurous, fit and are into a challenge, before you reach the 12th station there is a path . If you take this trail it will lead you to the top of Mount Vulcan . This is an activity for those who are fit. We were considering this trek but the previous rainy days made the path all muddy and slippery which would of been dangerous. We decided to give this a miss and only made it to the last station.

Sunken Cemetary

Camiguin’s Sunken Cemetary is a unique tourist spot on the island. You can combine this attraction with the Walkway to the Old Volcano. The Sunken Cemetary is testimony of how powerful mother nature can be. What was once a resting place for the dead along the coast of Camiguin, has now been forced under water. This rather unusual tourist spot came to be back in 1870. After a volcanic activity that shook Camiguin, the cemetary that was on land was submerged into the ocean. 

Today, tombstones lay along the ocean bed. Marine life has flourished and taken over the cemetery. And a large Christian cross has been erected in the ocean as a remembrance to the dead. The sunken cemetery is around 50 meters from shore. Although I would say anyone with basic swimming skills could do this activity alone, you will still need to pay for a guide. However, the guide will be helpful at indicating where everything is. 

Old Spanish Church Ruins

On Camiguin there are a few attractions that are testimony of the volcano’s destructive power. And the Old Spanish Church Ruins or Guiob Church is one of them. You can add this tourist spot with the sunken cemetary and the trail to the old volcano. All 3 are about 5 minutes ride from one another.

In the grounds of the church there are 3 structures. We first past through the church itself. A massive church for that time. All the surrounding walls are intact. However, the wooden roof is no more. And outside the church building there are another 2 small buildings. For the small fee, it is worth to stop by. But I said to add this with the other 2 activities not to travel all the way for just 1 tourist spot.

>>Surprisingly, Camiguin has some of the best restaurants we came across while in the Philippines . So we put together a guide for our best  7 restaurants  on the island.

15 Must-Visit Destinations in the Philippines

Posted: May 9, 2024 | Last updated: May 9, 2024

The Philippines is a breathtaking archipelago (a group of Islands) with volcanoes, limestone cliffs, crystal clear waters, and rice terraces on mountain slopes. If you want a vacation or an adventure, there are over 7000 islands with fascinating sights to choose from, including tourist spots in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. These 15 places are particularly noteworthy for their historical sites and local delicacies that will make your visit truly worthwhile.

Puerto Princesa Underground River

This UNESCO World Heritage Site has a limestone karst landscape and an underground river stretching over 8 kilometers. The river flows directly into the sea, nourishing diverse plant species. It also houses bats and various bird species. As a tourist destination, this place allows visitors to explore its caverns and enjoy looking at its natural beauty.

Banaue Rice Terraces in Ifugao Province

The Ifugao people built the Banaue Rice Terraces over 2,000 years ago, and they are now often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” The design of this UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases their creativity and skill. They are still actively used for farming, primarily rice and vegetables. Visitors can enjoy the breathtaking view of terraces on the mountainside and local delicacies like traditional smoked meat called “kinuday.”

Tagaytay, Cavite and Taal Volcano, Batangas

These two locations are well-known tourist destinations in the Philippines, famous for their breathtaking scenery and landscapes. Tagaytay, situated in Cavite, has a calm and pleasant climate along with stunning vistas of Taal Lake and the Taal Volcano. This volcano is one of the world’s smallest active volcanoes on an island within a lake.

The Visayas region in the Philippines is the ideal place to visit if you want to attend a vibrant and colorful festival. These festivities showcase the culture and traditions of each province. You can attend the Sandugo Festival or the Dinagyang, Sinulog, and Ati-Atihan Festivals, which are held every January.

Boracay Island in Malay, Aklan

Tourists visit Boracay Island for its stunning white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant nightlife. Many visitors worldwide come here to relax, enjoy water sports, and enjoy the lively atmosphere. It also has a bustling market where you can handpick fresh seafood from the stalls and have chefs cook it the way you like. Boracay is an excellent place if you are looking for a tropical paradise with plenty of activities and beautiful scenery.

Chocolate Hills Carmen, Bohol

The location has around 1,200 cone-shaped hills spread over 50 square kilometers. These hills are named “Chocolate Hills” because their green grass becomes brown during the dry season, making them look like chocolate kisses. This unique landscape is a popular tourist attraction as a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Mindanao is the second largest island in the Philippines and a beautiful region with many tourist attractions. Some popular places include Siargao Island, with world-class surfing spots and gorgeous landscapes; Bukidnon, with natural attractions like the Dahilayan Adventure Park; and Surigao del Sur, with the Enchanted River and Tinuy-an Falls.

Davao City, Davao del Sur

This beautiful city has Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines, which attracts hikers and nature enthusiasts. Since Davao is the natural home of the critically endangered Philippine eagle, visitors can watch this majestic bridge up close at the Philippine Eagle Centre. Also, as they snack on durian, they can drop by to tour the Museum or enjoy the manicured gardens at the urban People’s Park.

Camiguin Island, Camiguin Province

Besides hot springs, waterfalls, and coral reefs, this province is famous for its lanzones fruit, which locals celebrate annually during the Lanzones Festival. It has beaches with rich marine life and a laid-back atmosphere for tourists who want a relaxed atmosphere. They can also visit the La Dolce Vita, an Italian-styled restaurant that serves wood-cooked pizzas.

Calle Crisologo, Vigan

This place has well-preserved Spanish colonial-era architecture and streets lined with charming heritage houses and cobblestones. Surprisingly, they still have the traditional horse-drawn carriages known as “kalesas.” Visiting Calle Crisologo allows you to step back in time and experience the rich history and culture of the Philippines. You can browse through the local crafts shops for souvenirs. The best time to visit is the first week of May during the Vigan Festival of the Arts.

Nacpan Beach in El Nido, Palawan

Considering its four-kilometer stretch of cream-colored sand with swaying coconut palm trees lining the shore, this place can easily accommodate hundreds of tourists. Visitors can spread across the expanse of land as they swim, sunbathe, or relax on the beach, enjoying the view of clear waters. Although it was once a secret getaway for a lucky few, many others have discovered its beauty, so it’s now a popular tourist destination.

Kawasan Falls, Cebu

The waters of the Kawasan Falls flow from the Kanlaob River, moving to the Kabukalan Spring and through the Kawasan Gorge before emptying into the Matutinao River and eventually the Tanon Strait. Its largest waterfall is roughly 40 meters high, and visitors can hike up the different tiers. They can also take refreshing dips in the pools, ride a bamboo raft along the river, or have a picnic lunch by the riverbank.

Cloud 9 in Siargao

In 2012, CNNGo ranked Cloud 9 8th out of 50 World’s Best Surfing Spots. It is also the site of the Siargao Cup, an international surfing competition held every September. Even if you’re not a surfer, Cloud 9 has a viewing deck at the top of a three-story structure where you can watch the surfers and marvel at the ocean. The area also has shops, restaurants, and bars where you can relax.

Besides being the largest and most populous island in the Philippines, Luzon is the economic and political center of the nation. Likewise, it is home to Quezon City and Manila, the capital city of the Philippines. This island is one of the places every visitor must see because of its stunning beauty, which includes mountain ranges, volcanoes, beaches, and coral reefs. You can find it north of the Philippine archipelago.

Intramuros and Fort Santiago, Manila

The walled city of Intramuros, Spanish for “within the walls,” was the seat of Spanish colonial power in the Philippines for over 300 years. Miguel Lopez de Legazpi built it in the 16th century, and its rich history has made it a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Right beside it is Fort Santiago, the former military headquarters where the Spaniards imprisoned national hero Jose Rizal. They have several historical sites, including churches, museums, and early government buildings.
