7 Best Tourist Spots in Camiguin
White Island
Who knew that even a long patch of sand can be so beautiful? Only a few minutes away from Mambajao, Camiguin, is White Island; a bare island that provides such a scenic sight of the sea, the sky while having the backdrop of Mt. Vulcan and Mt. Hibok. The blue water that surrounds it glistens as the sunlight hits the waves. [Check out our list of 5 Best Beach Resorts in Camiguin]
Mantigue Island
Like White Island, Mantigue Island is also breathtaking. But the difference is that it has a lot of mangroves on it. It adds color to the seemingly non-ending view of the sea and its turquoise colored waters. Snorkeling and scuba diving is a great activity to do here because of the various species of fish present.
Katibawasan Falls
Towering at a height of 250 feet, Katibawasan falls has clear water that drops to a beautiful and cool pool of water that is very inviting for a swim. The cool water is perfect for counteracting the hot weather. Around the pool are thriving lush ferns, orchids, and trees. The boulders around it also have a unique formation.
Tuasan Falls
Another treasured tourist spot in Camiguin is the Tuasan Falls. It is also similar to Katibawasan, a good place to go to if you haven’t had your fill of seeing majestic waterfalls. The vegetation is also very rich, you’ll hear birds chirping here and the waters are gleaming coral which is why many say that Tuasan falls
Mt. Hibok Hibok
If you feel like going on a hike, Mt. Hibok-Hibok has a spectacular summit. You get the view of White Island and even other provinces like Bohol. You will also see the crater of the volcano which has been surrounded by moss. It is quite a challenging climb; however, the sight isn’t one you should miss out on.
Sunken Cemetery
Would you believe that one of the best diving spots you can go to in Mindanao is actually a cemetery, a sunken cemetery to be exact. By its name, this was a graveyard but due to the Mt. Vulcan eruption, the graveyard was wrecked and the remains of it ended up at sea. Underwater, you will see thriving corals and colorful fishes.
Gui-ob Church Ruins
Just because something is old does not mean it can’t be astonishing. The Gui-ob Church Ruins, a very famous tourist spot in Camiguin, brings a whole new meaning and look to medieval. The walls, structure, and buildings look old fashioned but it does have a certain charm to it. This is a great place for taking photos!
