Camiguin: White Island
If you're planning to visit White Island, it is highly advisable to be there as early as 5:00 AM to avoid the heat of the sun. It is also advisable to bring a parasol or sunblock in case you plan to stay there after 8:00 AM. Keep in mind that there are no trees in White Island. The only shade that you could find there is from the solitary lifeguard tower at the far side of the sandbar.

Coordinate with your resort before renting a banca |
Don't forget your slippers. =) |

Overall, my wife and I enjoyed our trip to White Island. My wife, in particular, loved her snorkeling adventure. She said that you're like watching an HD movie because the marine life was really within arms reach. You should never miss out the beauty of White Island in case you venture out to the province of Camiguin.

Awesome new post man :) Those sea creatures in the basket look like blue berries!
ReplyDeleteThanks pal.=) Those are sea urchins. I didn't try one though. I was afraid that it might upset my stomach. We were scheduled to tour the other half of the province after this destination.
DeleteCamiguin--hoping to see this island soon (and the nearby small islands too). I'll be in Bohol in July, hope I could go there too, via RoRo. Hope it would not take a lot of hours from Bohol. Haha! I'm so excited =)
ReplyDeleteWow! I miss Camiguin already. We came in from CDO and it took us an hour riding a fast craft. I guess it would take you about 3 hours from Bohol.
