My WORST experience in the Philippines. Escaping Camiguin Island

#explorephilippines #philippines #camiguin #travelvlog Explore the rustic beauty of Camiguin Island, touted as a rural tourist destination in the Philippines. While it boasts iconic attractions like Tuasan Falls, Katibawasan Falls, and the renowned Ardent Hot Springs and Sto. Nido Cold Springs or Mount Hibok-Hibok, my visit in February revealed a different side to this supposedly idyllic paradise. Beginning the journey from Manila and then travelling to Cagayan de Oro and then from Balingoan to Camiguin, we encountered the challenges of getting to this remote island. Upon arrival, the allure of Mantigue Island beckoned, promising a slice of paradise. However, the reality didn't quite match the hype. Despite its picturesque beaches, Mantigue Island left much to be desired. The limited swimming opportunities due to shallow waters and rocky terrain were a disappointment. Exploring Camiguin's attractions, such as the Sunken Cemetery and Ardent Hot Spring, revealed a mixed bag of experiences. While some spots lived up to expectations, others fell short. The Camiguin Blue Lagoon, for instance, was touted as a must-visit, but the reality didn't quite match the hype. In our Philippines travel vlog, I share my candid insights into exploring Camiguin, offering tips for a DIY tour and detailing the journey from Cagayan de Oro. From snorkeling at the Giant Clam Sanctuary to immersing in local culture, I provide an honest account of our experiences, ensuring you're prepared for the highs and lows of this unique destination. Join me as we uncover the truth about Camiguin and help you plan your next adventure with eyes wide open.
