Every time I hear Camiguin, I usually think of the best lanzones in the Philippines and the underwater
cemetery, but during our visit, we found that the province has a lot of world-class tourist spots and destinations. Backpacking is
not a big problem here because at the port, multi-cab with a
driver, can be chartered for the whole day tour (that’s what we did). CLICK TO WATCH MY VLOG
Camiguin - 2023 travel bucket list (budget and guide)
The first tourist spot is Katibawasan Falls (photo above); by the
way we started from the farthest. It is a 250 Meter waterfalls with cool and
clear water free flowing to a river system. The atmosphere in the area is cool
because it is surrounded by trees that give a fresh and clean air. The water is
cool but relaxing because of the pressure, perfect for your tired muscles.
Entrance fees are being collected. Souvenir shops are available by the
entrance.
Sto. Nino Cold Spring is
one of Camiguin’s top tourist destinations. By its name, you can easily expect
for a fresh and cold spring water. I no plans to get wet, especially with the
temperature of the water, it was really a NO NO. Because of its super dupper
clear water, I dipped into the water and experienced how great this cold spring
is. I was also stunned by the bottom of the pool, there are no silts because it
is made of concrete. READ: STO. NIÑO COLD SPRING
Tuasan Falls is
one of the must visit tourist attractions in Camiguin. Similar with the other
waterfalls in the Philippines, it has water (of course), there’s pressure, the
area is surrounded by trees and woods, I think, Tuasan is not that famous, so
less people, good for you. During our visit, NO Entrance fees collected. Stores
are available by the entrance.
Soda Swimming Pool is
also by the highway. I know you're wondering why they call it Soda, correct? It
is simply because the water coming out from this spring tastes like a soda and
it is safe to drink. Like Sto. Nino Cold Spring, Soda swimming pool also has cool,
refreshing and crystal clear water. READ: SODA SWIMMING POOL
Old Church Ruin is one of Camiguin's top tourist destinations. This
church was damaged by the volcanic eruption happened centuries ago, damaging
the other structures in Camiguin island. The ruin is composed of a meter wide
walls and huge columns. These walls and columns are made of coral stones and
are now covered with mosses and plants. READ: OLD CHURCH RUINS
Camiguin Underwater Cemetery is
one of the must visit tourist spots, attractions and destinations in the
province. Before, it was a resting place but now it's a tourist place that
gives money to the government and jobs to the locals. This spot has a huge
cross perched in the water. Tourists can cross and step on the base of the
cross using boats, of course NOT for free. Souvenir shops and stores are
available by the entrance.
Mt. Hibok Hibok is a good source of hot spring, like Ardent Hot Spring. It was
our last destination for that day; it is situated at the base of Mt. Hibok
Hibok. Ardent has a wide land area composed of trees, plants, cottages, and
other structures. Tourists usually make this hot spring as their last destination
to soothe their tired muscles and it is really true. Spent an hour here and had
a relaxing feeling while my body is submerged in the warm water. READ: ARDENT HOT SPRING
Due to bad weather condition, we
were unable to visit the famous White Island of Camiguin. We waited for a good
weather and the signal from NDRRMC to sail but unfortunately White Island is
closed. No choice but to say good bye. Malayo ang tingin shot.
We stayed at Pabua's Cottage for 1,200 pesos overnight. The room is wide, with own clean rest and shower
room, TV with cable, terrace, and three queen size beds. Since we were in a
tight budget, we went to the market and bought our supply. Cooked, served with
happiness and then rested. READ: PABUA'S COTTAGE
If you’re in Camiguin, don’t forget to have a short break and eat Pastel. It is
not chicken pastel or pastel colors; it is bread with soft dough and yema
fillings inside. Grabe! Iba talaga ang feeling habang kumakain ka nito. BABALA:
It is addicting! Yung pasalubong ko, naubos ko sa Airport palang.
