There are two ways to go to Camiguin via boat from Cagayan de Oro. First, you can take a fastcraft in CDO. However, when we were there, the fastcraft was under repair.
So, we had to take the one in Balingoan Pier, the jump off point to Camiguin.
In Cagayan de Oro, take a cab to the Agora Bus Terminal where you can take a bus going to Balingoan Pier. Take the bus bound for Butuan. The bus stops at the bus terminal in Balingoan. Bus fare from CDO to Balingoan costsP140. From the termianl you can either walk to the terminal or take a tricycle to the Pier (P8)

Camiguin Island is certainly one of the best place you'll ever visit...Getting around the island would be pretty hard, but you can rent a multicab for only Php1,700 to Php2,000 (suggested rate nowadays) that's for the whole day. You can contact Manong Rael Cagisa 09105570854, he is really nice and let's you go around on your own, and he will even suggest an itinerary for the day. The rent can include pick-up from pier to the hotel and to the pier from the hotel...

It is best to rent a multicab (a jeepney-like vehicle) to get around Camiguin island. One can hire them from PHP 1000 to 1500 (depending on how good you can haggle with the driver) for one whole day. You may directly approach multicab drivers from the port (the ones who are sitting in the driver's seat only), however, be careful not to talk to people who offers to get you a ride, they tend to rip you off for commission. 6 to 8 people can comfortably fit in the multicab. The driver will take you to all the famous spots in the area. My contact was Roger, a nice fellow who drove us around and pointed us to the right places to eat. You can ring him and book his multicab at +639202306407.

When you're going for a day tour at Camiguin Island, better to just rent a multi-cab around the area. Cost for an 8-hour tour is P1500. However, if you're just going to one place only and is near, just take a jeepney for P6.

If you want the independence and autonomy of getting around Camiguin on your own or with a friend then you should rent a scooter or a mo-ped. I find it is so much fun to ride around and my cousins own two (that's me in the rear end of the red mo-ped). I am not sure how much is the rent but this beats the mini-jeepneys that they have in the island. Once we were coming from Ardent Hot springs and on the way home we got rained down. That was another experience to get soaked without a helmet!
Do not worry of getting lost in Camiguin. The locals are very friendly and will not lead you astray. These are honest-to-goodness people. Once we got lost within a "barrio" and the locals are too nice to point out the 2 exits out. Also, we were stopping for directions at the "soda-swimming pool" (Yep, believe it) and the attendant was nice enough to spalsh us a hose of soda water for we are just burning up with sweat.
