Awesome experience at Camiguin Island










It was last week where we spent our summer vacation for three days at one of the most famous islands in the Philippines, Camiguin Island. Together with my workmates we also went there for our second year anniversary at work. It was my first time to set foot on that island though it only took an hour for me to sail there. Maybe because I don’t have enough money to go there alone, or I don’t have some companies to be with or it could be both. Indeed both, anyways my experience at Camiguin was one of the most memorable experiences ever in my life. I really had a great time with my workmates. The incredible panoramic scenery of the island are awesome, and the beaches are glimmering when being hit by the rays of the sun. Its crystal clear water is tempting, enough to allure various tourists all over the world to drench and enjoy the beach.


We have been toured the island for only a day, it is not exactly a big island though there are already myriad numbers of residence residing there. You can even tour the scenic spots of the island in just a day if you would want to, but you would never regret what you would see. AWESOOMMEE!!! At the first day, we went to Ardent (The Hot Spring). We spent there for about 4 hours and we really enjoyed the spring much. It’s like you were soaking yourself in the hot water, which really feels good and relaxing.


The next day, we went to the White Island, the most famous sceneries in Camiguin Island. And ohh myy!!! If you could only see the powder like sand, the crystal clear water of the beach, you could probably say that you were somehow been in the part of Boracay Island (Famous Island in the Philippines). We spent there for about 3 hours if I remember? And goodness it was really awesome!!! I got sunburn there swear!! But it was worthy. The next itinerary we’ve been through was in Sunken Cemetery, where we’ve seen the huge landmark of the cross standing straight in the sea. We never go down to see the sunken cemetery itself because we already running out of time. The next destination we went through was at the Sto. Niño Cold Spring, wew and it was really cold! But the place as well is incredible! I also enjoyed it there much.


After spending hours at Sto Niño Cold Spring, we head to the island’s Old Church. The historical church reminds us the life of the people spending their time attending mass at the church. Unfortunately, the old church was already ruined and only its old walls remained. The back of the old church on the other hand stands the huge 350 years old tree which has the background of the captivating sea, and all I can say again was awesome! The last destination we’ve been through was the Katibawasan Falls. I maybe sound funny but I never seen such a wonderful falls in my entire life not until I’ve seen the incredible long thread of Katibawasan Falls. It was really breathtaking that you can’t resist yourself not to swim and feel this incredible nature. But believe me, when I first feel the water, I could probably say that it is much colder than in the Sto. Niño Cold Spring. Well, maybe because the wind that came from the falls makes the water cold as well. As of now, spending my summer vacation and spending our second year anniversary with my workmates was one of the most memorable experiences I really had in Camiguin Island.
