Camiguin
Camiguin, the “Island Born of Fire,” is a compact paradise off Northern Mindanao known for its volcano-studded skyline, sugar-white sandbars, emerald forests, and crystal-clear waters. Within an hour’s drive around the island, you can hop between waterfalls, hot and cold springs, coral gardens, and Spanish-era ruins—without the crowds. It’s the kind of destination where adventure and serenity meet: hike a volcano at dawn, snorkel a sunken cemetery by noon, and soak in hot springs under the stars.
