How to get to Camiguin
There are 2 major routes to visit Camiguin: Cagayan de Oro and Bohol. The following guide is for travels that involve barges (RORO). We have a separate article for fastcrafts because of their constantly-changing schedule.
We are currently working on the detailed travel guide. If you have urgent questions, please email us at info@camiguinguide.com. We'll be happy to answer any inquiry.
Via Cagayan de Oro
Cagayan de Oro is the gateway of Northern Mindanao. Its domestic airport makes it the best and fastest way to get to Camiguin. Here are the details of how to get to Camiguin via Cagayan de Oro:
- From CDO's Lumbia Airport, a 30-min taxi ride will bring you to the heart of this golden city and to its Agora Bus Terminal.
- Take a 2-hour bus ride to the wharf town of Balingoan. (Ride a bus bound for Gingoog or Butuan.)
- There are at least 4 barges in Balingoan taking tourists/commuters to Camiguin. A 1-hour sea travel will take you to the island of Camiguin.
Enjoy the northern Mindanao countryside at its best by travelling early in the morning. Occasional dolphin sightings during the barge voyage will have you smiling and excited!
Via Bohol
Island hopping is a great way to visit Camiguin. Take a tour of Bohol's stunning beaches and vibrant ecotourist destinations; then hop on a barge to visit another eco-tourists' paradise - Camiguin Island.
- From Bohol's capital Tagbilaran City Bus Terminal, take a 2-hour bus ride to Jagna.
- Jagna only has only one barge trip to Camiguin per day at around 1:00 PM. This 3 to 4-hour trip will get you to Camiguin.
The Bohol sea is home to dolphins, keep your camera ready! These playful and intelligent creatures love attention; clap your hands and they'll become very playful.
