How we Went to Camiguin Island
When we went to Camiguin Island, we travel by land. We booked a ticket at 12go, ride the bus at Ecoland Bus Terminal and depart at around 10pm.
We purposely travel at night so that we just sleep in the bus and by early morning we were already at Cagayan de Oro City.
When we arrived at Cagayan, we had our early breakfast then ride the bus going to Balingoan.
We then headed to Balingoan port and ride the ferry.
Once we were at the Benoni Port, we were picked with a ride by a staff from Camiguin Highlands Resort, where we stayed at Camiguin at the time.
We were having a great time at Camiguin Island and will definitely be back again.
