Last week, we introduced you to one of the most beautiful destinations down south: the captivating Pearl Farm Resort in Samal Island.
Continuing with that theme, we are now introducing you to another paradise in Mindanao: the majestic island of Camiguin.
To start, Camiguin is the second smallest island in the Philippines. What makes it unique is that it was formed by volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
Similar to Samal Island and Boracay Island, Camiguin is abundant with beautiful scenery that is a must-visit for both locals and foreigners alike.
First on our list is the beautiful White Island or Medan Island in Mambajao, the northern part of Camiguin. Despite not being technically part of Camiguin, White Island is an uninhabited white sandbar that boasts some of the best beaches in the region.
Surrounded by two volcanoes, it has become a top destination for mountain trekkers and thrill-seekers who want to experience “volcano tours.”
With its exceptional beaches, White Island has also become a favorite swimming destination and a sports hub for professional divers over the years.
HOW TO GET THERE VIA ROAD TRIP
From the city capital of Davao, you can choose to travel to Camiguin by plane, ferry, bus, or car.
The best and most cost-effective option is to travel by private vehicle. A road trip from Davao will take you at least half a day, but isn’t that the beauty of travel? ????
Various points of entry begin from Valencia to Cagayan de Oro (CDO) to Balingoan Port.
From there, you will need to take the car ferry to Benoni Port in Camiguin. The travel time from port to port is less than an hour.
