Getting there in the Paradise Island

Camiguin is a very wonderful place to unwind. It is indeed a Paradise for a city person like me. Camiguin is very abundant with water; there we're lots of water. It is surrounded by sea water. Though it is surrounded by sea water, there are lots of springs in the island. They have Hot Spring coming from Mt. Hibok-Hibok and so many to mention Cold Springs and white beaches.

Getting there is not now difficult compared from several years ago. It can be by plane or by boat from Misamis Oriental, Bohol or Cebu.


By Plane via Cebu Pacific Air

Cebu Pacific Air offers a daily flight from Cebu to Camiguin, departing Cebu at 6:45am and arriving in Camiguin at 7:25am in Mambajao Airport. The return flight will depart in Mambajao Airport, Camiguin at 7:45am and arriving in Cebu at 8:25am.

As of this posting, only the Cebu Pacific Air operates at the airport.



By Boat

The most common means of transportation going to Camiguin is through the Balingoan Port in Misamis Oriental bound to Benoni and Guinsiliban Port, Camiguin which only takes about an hour. But, Benoni has the most schedule because it is more nearer in Balingoan Port compared to Guinsiliban Port. There is also a Cebu-Camiguin-Cebu trip via Super Shuttle Ferry, departing Cebu every Friday at 8:00pm from Pier 8 and departing back to Cebu every Sunday at 8:00pm. There is also fast ferries from Jagna, Bohol to Benoni, Camiguin

Once in the island, you can take jeepneys, multicabs or tricycles going to your desired destination. Multicab or jeepney is the advisable going to each tourist attractions especially in the mountainous attractions like the Cold Springs, Ardent Hot Spring and Waterfalls because they are stronger than tricycles. But, a motorbike will do going to the mountainous attractions. This is advisable if you are travelling alone to save extra cost in renting a van or a cab.
