Lovely little Camiguin is the island “born of fire.” As much of the island was formed through earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, it has some interesting above and below water natural formations.
Popular White Island, a sandbar, and Mantigue Island, a smaller island off the shores of Camiguin, are great for swimming, snorkeling, and diving.
They are also hosts to a giant clam nursery, and colorful and lively shoals (Burias and Jigdup Shoal)- both of which are just a boat ride away.
