- White Island (the sandbar) — A postcard-perfect, shifting white sandbar off the northern coast with glassy water and full-on views of Mt. Hibok-Hibok. It’s short, bright, and totally island-y in a way you won’t confuse with anywhere else. Best early morning for fewer boats and nicer photos.
- Sunken Cemetery — A hauntingly beautiful underwater graveyard marked by a large cross; you can snorkel, dive, or ride a banca out for the view. It’s literal island history—reminder of past eruptions—and seeing the cross at sunset is oddly moving.
- Katibawasan Falls — A dramatic single-drop waterfall that pours into a cool plunge pool surrounded by ferns and palm trees. Easy walk from the road and great for a refreshing swim after island hopping; it’s Camiguin’s most iconic cascade for good reason.

- Mount Hibok-Hibok hike — An active stratovolcano with a proper multi-hour trek through mossy forest, open ridges and craters. The flora, the views back to the sea, and the volcanic feel make this a different kind of island hike—serious but unforgettable. Hire a local guide and check for advisories.
- Ardent Hot Springs — Naturally heated pools tucked into a palm-shaded riverside setting. After a day of hiking or snorkeling, soaking in mineral-rich water warmed by volcanic activity is a uniquely Camiguin way to recover.
- Soda Water Pool — A rare carbonated spring where the water has a fizzy, soda-like tingle. It’s small, slightly touristy, but genuinely unusual—locals love it and kids have a blast noticing the tiny bubbles on their skin.
- Mantigue Island (Mantigue Islet) — A tiny forested islet with a short walk, white sand and excellent snorkeling on its surrounding reefs. It’s quieter than White Island and gives a proper micro-island feel—great for a lazy day trip and birdwatching.
- Tuasan Falls — Hidden gem. A multi-tiered waterfall reached by a jungle trail and a few slippery steps; fewer visitors, more jungle ambience. The pool is a perfect, secluded swim spot and the hike in feels properly wild—this is one of my personal favorites for being quiet and lush.
- Gui-ob Church Ruins — Hidden gem. Remains of an old Spanish-era church partly buried or toppled by past eruptions. The crumbling stone framed against palm trees and the sea gives a strong sense of Camiguin’s volcanic history without needing a museum.
- Giant Clam / Marine Sanctuary — Hidden gem. Small local marine conservation areas where you can snorkel over rehabilitated reefs and see giant clams and a healthier fish population. They’re community-run, educational, and far more intimate than big commercial snorkel sites—great if you care about conservation and want a low-key marine experience.
