After the rafting, now comes Camiguin. To give everyone a background, there are three ports operating in the province of Camiguin. The main port of entry is in Benoni, with minor ports at Balbagon and Guinsiliban. Balbagon Port links Cagayan de Oro and Cebu, Benoni Port links with Balingoan and Cagayan de Oro, and Guinsiliban Port which also has a roro landing facility links with Balingoan and Cagayan de Oro.
We traveled around an hour and a half to Balingoan Port, which is 84 kilometers from Cagayan de Oro. The ferryboat ride to Benoni port in the Municipality of Mahinog was almost an hour.
We arrived at Camiguin around 1PM, unfortunately Paras Resort was fully booked so we have to look elsewhere and found the Golden Sunset Beach Club.
The group decided to postpone the Tour around Camiguin for the next day since it was already 2PM and we won't be able to maximize it. After getting settled, we ordered lunch and went off to White Island.
White island, also known as Medan Island, is one of the most popular sites to visit in Camiguin. This small inhabited white sand bar, with picturesque Mt. Hibok-Hibok and Mt. Vulcan as its backdrop, is located two kilometers across from the beaches of Agohay and Yumbing. The island, with a shape that differs depending on the tide, is ideal for swimming, sunbathing and snorkeling. The best time to go there is at early morning or late in the afternoon.
Jc on EMO mode hahaha

One thing i hate about going this place is that it is very far especially riding the barge part but it was worth it though. The souvenirs are really affordable, and the different attractions are really great.
