Camiguin Island Adventure: Arrival, Places to Visit, Tour Guide and Accommodation

Upon arriving at Benoni Port, we were greeted by our tour guide Kuya Rodel. We got the service and the cottage of Teddy Pabualan for a reasonable price. Before going to Camiguin, it's better to have contacted a guide beforehand so you won't be annoyed at the port. 

May quarantine ulit gaya ng sa Bukidnon.

Our service for the day.

Sweet and Tasty Lanzones of Camiguin

During September to November, lanzones are in season. We were so lucky that our trip to Camiguin falls at the same time lanzones are in season.

Kuya Rodel took us to a farm full of lanzones. Abot kamay lang ang mga lanzones. Bumili kami ng bagong pitas na lanzones for Php 35 per kilo. Ang mura. Habang namimitas ng lanzones si manong, kami naman ay tumikim ng lanzones sa bawat maabot naming puno. Ang tamis ng lanzones. Maliit lang ang buto at hindi mapait. Iba ang lasa sa mga lanzones na mabibili dito sa Pampanga. Sabi ni manong, ganun daw ang lanzones ng Camiguin, maliit ang buto.

Bago kami umalis ng Camiguin, gusto sana naming magpapitas ulit kay Manong ngunit wala siya. Nagpunta na lang kami sa bagsakan sa palengke.

We bought 30 kilos of lanzones for our families in Pampanga. Ayun tuloy bumili pa kami ng extra baggage sa Cebu Pacific.

Where to Stay in Camiguin: Pabualan Cottage

There are many hotels, resorts and cottages available in Camiguin. We were suppose to stay in one of the hotel I previously contacted but then, nagtitipid pala kami. Kaya heto kinuha na rin namin sa package ng tour ang accommodation.

Pabualan Cottege is own by Teddy Pabualan and family. Medyo maliit ang room nila pero kasya naman kami at comfortable. Malakas pa ang aircon. Medyo mahina nga lang ang tulo ng tubig.

Also included is our plated breakfast.

Pabualan Cottage is one of the cheapest accommodation in Camiguin. We had a comfortable stay. Recommended for those travelers in budget.

Perfect Pasalubong: Pastel of Camiguin

Aside from the sweetest lanzones, Camiguin is also known for pastel. A bun stuffed with different fruit jams. But the most popular is the original yema filling.

VjANDEP Bakeshop is a pastry shop founded in 1990 in Camiguin.  Aside from pastel, they also sell various products perfect for pasalubong

If you happen to visit Camiguin or Cagayan de Oro, take home a box of pastel with you. The bun is so soft and the filling is not that sweet. Perfect for coffee. I love the langka flavor.

Where to Go in Camiguin: White Island

White Island is actually a sand bar located in the north shore of Camiguin.

The entry point is located beside Paras Beach Resort. There are also snorkeling gear available for sale or for rent.

After 10 minute boat ride, we reached white island. The sand is white pero hindi gaanong pino.  We were greeted by manong who sells sea urchin for Php 10 each. We gave it a try.

 Lagyan ng kaunting vinegar...

Masarap. Fresh ang lasa. Parang lasang taba ng talangka.

Mas magandang hintayin ang sunset sa white beach but then, sa sobrang pagod namin hindi na namin hinintay.

Where to Go in Camiguin: San Nicolas de Tolentino Parish Church and Katibawasan Falls

For our island tour, our fist stop is the San Nicolas de Tolentino Parish Church to pray and give thanks to God for our safe journey.

Then we proceed to Katibawasan Falls.

The falls measures about 76m high surrounded by various species of plants and flowers.

The water is cold and refreshing.

On our way out, we say vendors of this local snack called kiping.

 Kiping is made from ground  sweet potato and dried under the sun then deep-fried.

It's served with latik or sweet coconut sauce (lasang coco jam). It's yummy and crispy pero nakakasuya kapag nasobrahan sa latik.
