Camiguin Island is the second smallest in terms of population in the Philippines which comes second to Batanes. The island’s population ranges only up to 74,232. In terms of land area, Camiguin is the smallest province in the whole of Northern Mindanao with its land area only 29, 187 hectares. Approximately, the island can be reached by only 90 kilometers north from Cagayan de Oro City and or about 10 kilometers if you get through the northern coast of Misamis Oriental. The island can be reached by using a barge to sail through and across the Camiguin Island.

The island’s locals are both Cebuanos and Boholanos. They use Cebuano as their major dialect in the province but in some areas of the island, they still make use of the Kinamiguin dialect. The people in Camiguin Island are very much hospitable, religious and friendly. The place may be small in terms of size, yet they still have a lot to offer. From their hot springs, cold spring, series of falls, white sand beaches, trekking to Mt. Hibok-hibok, shoals, a visit to the old volcano and up to their infamous sinking cemetery.

Vanishing Island at Samal Island

Have you ever had a really excellent time staying at a certain place yet limiting your stay at the same time? Well come on and visit the renowned Vanishing Island where you can get little time yet stupendous adventure of a lifetime. This small island is located at Barangay Tambo, Island Garden City of Samal. So have you ever questioned yourself why it is called as it is? Well it is not just a random name to start with because Vanishing Island really does vanish when the tide gets high. It is one of the reason tourists visits Samal Island, Davao City.

The island has been urbanized by the local establishment. Mangroves trees have also been planted on the island. The sea bed is grassy and sandy below. You can reach the Island of course by first getting to Samal Island itself since Vanishing Island is found and is part of Samal Island. Aside from Pearl Farm and Bluejaz, Vanishing Island is also one of the best places to spend summer with your family, friends and colleagues. It is also a great spot for children to do snorkeling and beach combing. If you find your stay to have been very short, worry not because there is a cottage just right at the middle of the Island, so you can actually stay there for as long as you want because it cannot be reached by the tides for the fact that it has been elevated. Yet, most of the people who visits there are hesitant to stay knowing that the tides could rose up in quite a short time.

Pearl Farm Beach Resort, Samal Island Philippines

We are all aware that the Philippines is so much blessed with the many stunning beaches and natural beautiful spots and undeniably one of the best tropical countries in the world. When I knew we are spending our summer to Pearl Farm Beach Resort, I was so excited to see and visit the place.

Pearl Farm is located at Island Garden City of Samal. It is the largest among the 9 islands in the gulf of Davao. Pearl Farm is also one of the most visited resorts in Samal Island. My family planned to visit the place, and so we did. We prepared all we need to bring and were all ready to hit the road. We had a long hour trip from Bukidnon just to visit the place. When we arrived, we then took another 45-minute boat ride to reach the resort. Upon arrival at the resort’s private wharf, you will be greeted by attractive houses on stilts and the very famous Parola house. The place is truly picturesque as you approach the resort. I was stunned and very much amazed with the view. Very much excited to start relaxing and have fun all at the same time.
