Tropical Island Paradise in Asia
… a unique combination of unspoiled beauty and old
charm. Often described as the most beautiful island in the
Philippines, Camiguin is a place of contrast.
Rugged majestic Volcano Mountains rise sharply to the clouds,
while gentle turquoise seas lap soft white sands. Waterfall
thunder down into natural pools surrounded by wild ferns and
orchids.
The islands has a pristine lagoon, refreshing cod springs,
invigorating hot springs and soothing, sparkling soda springs.
