Mantigue Island
This is undoubtedly the most instagrammable place in Camiguin with a perfect backdrop of the island’s ocean and mountains. This is also one of the most well-preserved marine sanctuaries which makes it a most popular dive site with giant hawksbill turtles, schools of jacks, and an impressive collection of marine life, a rich thriving collection of soft and hard corals amid a jaw-dropping seascape.
Old Church Ruins and Sunken Cemetery
These National Cultural Treasures are remnants of Camiguin’s Spanish Colonial Past which survived the 1871 eruption of Mt. Vulcan. The moss-covered coral stone walls are what remains of the Church, its Convent, and its Bell Tower. The nearby Cemetery, which sank because of the eruption, is marked with a giant cross. This area is perfect for a prenup or a sunset pictorial. Underwater, the cemetery is now a fish sanctuary with a lush coral garden, a popular dive and snorkeling site on the island.
Scuba Diving/Snorkeling
Camiguin’s more than thirty dive sites are among some of our country’s most pristine owing to the active marine conservation programs by the local government which is a model for sustainable dive tourism. The variety of seascapes and marine life is so amazing that it is one of the most popular destinations for free divers, scuba divers, and underwater photographers.

Lanzones

Pastel de Camiguin
