Located in the Bohol Sea in Northern Mindanao region, Camiguin Island is a small yet spectacular destination known for its volcanic landscapes, pristine beaches, hot and cold springs, and historical landmarks.
Often called the “Island Born of Fire,” this serene island was shaped by volcanic eruptions and is home to more volcanoes than towns—an extraordinary feature that sets it apart from any other destination in the Philippines.
Despite its size, Camiguin Island is filled with natural wonders and cultural treasures. It’s perfect for those who want to unwind, explore, and experience something different.

Among the Camiguin top tourist spots is the stunning White Island, an uninhabited white sandbar just off the coast of Mambajao town, offering postcard-perfect views of Mt. Hibok-Hibok and the surrounding sea.
Another standout site is the Sunken Cemetery, where a giant cross marks the spot of a town that sank into the sea after a volcanic eruption in the 1870s—now a hauntingly beautiful snorkel and dive site.
Nature lovers can explore the refreshing waters of Tuasan Falls and Katibawasan Falls, or take a dip in the soothing Ardent Hot Springs. For a cooler retreat, the Santo Niño Cold Springs offers a relaxing escape surrounded by greenery.
