Camiguin Island, Northern Mindanao




This small island has many things to offer; if you are on a tight budget but you want to have fun with friends and family, you can stretch your budget and enjoy your vacation in this fascinating island.

I went here with my family and it was our first time. We've enjoyed our stay and at the same time we've learned some about the island.The island has an active volcano called Mt. Hibok Hibok the last volcanic activity was in 1875 and because of this the famous Ardent hot spring resort is born the water here has a 40 degrees Celsius. Many tourists visit the place because of the hot water, it relaxes their body and some says it can cure some skin ailments.



If you don't want hot spring water because it's summer don't worry there are so many cold springs here and the island has water falls too. Sto. Nino Cold spring is the famous, the pool is very well maintained so you can be assured that it's clean; it's huge it measures 25 m by 40 m.


The most popular and the easiest to reach waterfall is the Katibawasan falls; it is located in the middle of the forest so you can really feel the essence of nature and yes the water is so cold. 




If you want a sun-kissed tan do not forget to add the beautiful white island in your itinerary. It's just a 10 minute boat ride and this place it is perfect for your swimming, sunbathing and snorkeling.


If you still have a time visit the sunken cemetery, yes it is literally a cemetery sunk in the sea because of the eruption of the volcano during 1871. You can also dive and do snorkeling under water just ask the locals and contract a boat.

  1. The current fad for bridal parties is having a Lake Tahoe bachelorette party aboard a boat. With all the lake Tahoe bachelorette parties out there, Sunnyside Marina provides superior service. All of our captains are kind and enthusiastic about having fun. You do seem to have a bit of a jester onboard. In addition, we can provide a wide range of amazing add-ons.
