The island province of Camiguin is an ecological jewel known as the Island Born of Fire for its terrain sculpted by 14 volcanoes. It is home to the Timpoong and Hibok-Hibok Natural Monument, an Association of Southeast Asian Nations historic park. Camiguin’s mountain ranges are ideal for trekking and stargazing. Bird-watching is also ideal as the Camiguin hawk owl may be spotted here. The island is full of marine and natural resources, perfect for any sort of outdoor adventure.

Scuba Diving

White Island

A definite must-visit when in Camiguin, the White Island sandbar wows with white sand mixed with crushed corals and pebbles. Come try snorkeling and diving to see enchanting black corals, and other flora and fauna in the underwater forests.

The Ruins of Gui-ob Church

The ruins of the old Gui-ob Church or Cotta Bato are all that remains of 19th-century Camiguin. Hailed as a national heritage treasure, the church was built in 1623 as the parish church of San Roque and was made with coral and stone before it was half-covered by lava in the eventful eruption of Mt. Vulcan in 1871.

The moss-covered convent and belfry still stand to this day and are mementos that celebrate the history and heritage of the beautiful island. The ruins offer another kind of Camiguin experience as it transports you back to a version of the island-province centuries back and will make you appreciate not only the natural wonders of the island but also its people and society.
