Here are some of the places where you can enjoy Camiguin the most:

Mantigue Island 

When visiting Camiguin, you don’t want to miss this island. Mantigue is a 30-minute boat ride away from the main island. When you arrive near the island at the perfect time, beautiful corals and colorful fishes are visible from the boat. 

Don’t jump off the boat immediately when you arrive at the shore. Make sure to

have footwear since sea urchins live nearby. During low tide, the corals and fishes are accessible, and clownfish and sea horses are the famous inhabitants of the area, not including starfishes of various sizes and sea urchins the size of your fists.

Ardent Spring 

At the foot of Mt. Hibok Hibok lies the Ardent Spring. Having both cold and hot springs, they pride themselves on the relaxing environment surrounding them. Lush jungle trees and wild plants are seen all around the area. The mating calls of a diverse number of birds, mixed with the sounds of flowing water, are music to the ears. 

The hot spring itself is also, well, hot. Residents claim that it used to be so hot that they used to cook their eggs and rice using spring water. Nowadays, the water is still hot, though not enough to cook with, just enough to release the fatigue on your body.

Tuasan Falls 

It’s a natural waterfall approximately 20 meters in height. The water flow is strong, though not strong enough to drag you down the rapids. In addition, a small pool has formed around the falls where you can enjoy the flowing waters and their cooling effects. 

If you are worried about having your clear skin damaged by the sun’s glaring UV rays, worry not! The waterfall is surrounded by plenty of tall trees that provide shade around you.

Macao Spring 

Macao is a cold spring famous for its depth and relaxing atmosphere. A big tree sits near the pool, providing shade, and the cold breeze from the mountains will surely make you shiver if the spring is not chilly enough for you. 

Chill your refreshments at the poolside and enjoy your food as you gaze at the area’s natural landscape. Meditate while listening to the sound of rustling leaves and the songs of cicadas.
