There are a lot of things you can do in Camiguin. But mostly, these are for nature lovers. The island abounds with beautiful beaches, waterfalls, sites, thick foliage and wonderful people. Being there is like being in a virgin forest. Here are a few things you can/must do in Camiguin.

1. Rent a jeep or van, since places are far from each other. It makes a lot easier to move around.
2. Visit the Sunken Cemetery. Ask the local residents about its historical significance.
3. Breakfast at Tanguines Lagoon. You can actually do fishing while waiting for your food. Or see the "bird zoo".
4. Be refreshed at Katibawasan Falls.
5. Snorkel at White Beach. Have lunch.
6. Buy Lanzones or Vjandep Pastel to bring back home. Camiguin has the sweetest lanzones, they say, when in season (October).
7. Drop by the old lighthouse. Sit by the breakwater and watch the sunset.

When you go to Camiguin, never ever miss a trip to White Island. It's like never going to Camiguin at all. Better to go there early in the morning, when the sun is not that hot and the waves are calmer. Likewise, some parts of the island disappear in the afternoon, so better to catch all of it in the morning.

If you're on a budget, you can bring your food to the island. Breakfast there would cost around P60 for a corned beef alone, meaning no rice or coffee/hot chocolate included. However, some stores offer barbecue chicken for the same price of P60 which I think is more favorable than the corned beef.

You may also pitch a tent in the island which has no cost at all, but if you stay in one of the tables there, the rental fee is about P50.

There's a lot of things to do in Camiguin on Holy Week. Maybe you can join the Way of the Cross around the island. It's fun and you can make friends along the way. But remember put your comfortable walking shoes on since it's a long long walk and you'll be walking even on late evenings and wee hour in the morning. I was not successful with this, I quit on the 3rd station. Or maybe you can do the Way of the Cross up on the mountain. The picture shows the way up to the stations.

How about praying and nature tripping at the same time? Yes, we can do it here in this walkway. Maybe praying the Via Crucis and walking through the site of the Old Vulcan Daan. I enjoyed the greeneries I've seen here.

This is my favorite destination in Camiguin, a crescent-shaped sandbar and a photographer's favorite. I remember myself just walking and walking in its powdery white sand unmindful of the things around me. This is just another perfect place to stay away from the city noise and pressures.

See the cuntury-old walls of the church. This is the reminder of the 1871 eruption of Mt. Hibok-Hibok that buried the town and part of the church. There is a grassy plot outside, the old wll is lined up with trees and plants and from there you can see the panoramic view of the sea and the tip of the island.
