camiguin: day trip

a reader asked sometime back if we went to other spots in camiguin aside from their famed white island, well..here’s a resounding, albeit late, YES!!!

in a previous post, i mentioned that as soon as you arrive in benoni wharf, men offering island tours will greet you. the one who greeted us offered to take us to yumbing + island tour for a fee of PhP1,000. if you’re that excited to see the island, i’d say 1K isn’t too bad. the downside is instead of a full day, you’ll only have half the day, technically. for us, it isn’t such a sweet deal. it was a blessing in disguise that we arrived hungry in camiguin for we truly found a sweet deal courtesy again of manang celia.

aside from finding us a place to stay, she found us a multicab to take us to different spots in the island for a fee of PhP1,300. Originally P1,500, she persuaded the owner to give us a discount of PhP200 as we were only ordinary workers from cebu, hehe. One-three divided amongst the four of us, PhP325, isn’t too bad, right? Thus, you’ll save more if there are several of you in the group. anyhu, i’ll let you be the judge if it was indeed a sweet deal.
