I am planning to go to Camiguin Island to celebrate the Holy Week there. Camiguin is definitely one of the best place if you want to experience a meaningful, holistic and peaceful Holy Week. The Camiguinons call this particular lenten celebration as "Panaad in Camiguin". Most devotees come back to Camiguin to share Christ's passion on the cross by way of walking around the island as a way of devotion. But for me, I think I'm going there just to be with friends and also witness the people who will be there during Holy Thursday and Good Friday, and Black Saturday. I think I will be staying in one of the best Camiguin Beach Resorts, the once that I could afford of course. If you are not familiar with Camiguin Island, here's a bit of travel information about this small paradise island. Camiguin is a province of the Philippines that is situated in a small island off the northern coast of Mindanao. If you are based in Northern Mindanao, you can take a two and a half hour bus ride or ride a hired van to the port of Balingoan, the gateway to Camiguin. You can then grab a 45-minute ferry ride going to the port of Camiguin (Ginsiliban). After that if you wish to go to the province's center-town, you will again be riding your rented van, a tricycle, or jeepney for 30mins to Mambajao or to your hotel, which will most likely be situated at the center town of the Camiguin Island.
As part of the trip there I'd be visiting again the famous Camiguin White Island and will be enjoying the bluish water the surrounding island has to offer. Also part of the routinary tour would be the Ardent Hot Spring, Sto. Nino Cold Spring, and the Katibawasan Falls. I'd probably be snorkeling around the island and enjoy the summer heat as this comes only once a year. If you are planning to go to Camiguin this summer and be with your family and friends then I suggest you read reviews about Camiguin Beach Hotels, beach resorts, and other modes of accommodation in Camiguin Island. So you could prepare enough for the week long stay that you're planning. See you guys there..
