[Camiguin]

Awesome pics guys, would love more photos of mountaineering and of Camiguin.

Some more pictures of Camiguin / Hibok-Hibok ? Here you go:

The Weekly ferry that ships between Cebu and Camiguin. I am never looking forward in taking this one

The Paras SeaCat that sails once daily between CDO - Camiguin - Bohol. Very convenient but I am not sure how long it will last as the occupancy rate has been pretty bad.

A typical beach on Camiguin consisting out of Volcanic (dark) sand

View over Tangub Bay (this is a great area for night dives)

Cross at the sunken Cemetery

Camiguin is very green. At the back, you see the old volcano, where the walkway is situated.

Mantigue Island, a 30min boatride away from Camiguin. This is a marine reserve and offers great diving.

A 'fruit' found on Mantigue

Every Sunday morning, there is a farmer's market in Mambajao, where lots of people from the mountain villages come to sell their products.

View on Camiguin from White Island (a sandbar just off Camiguin)

Ardent Hot springs

Ardent Hot springs

Soda Swimming pool

Santo Nino Cold Springs

A view on Hibok-Hibok at the start of the climb

View down on White Island from the slopes of Hibok-Hibok

The last 1,5 hour of the climb, the path is very steep

Interesting vegetation on the slopes

Some more

If you are lucky, you might see these

Mushrooms

A huge block of lava stone overgrown with vegetation

It is quite common that the top is surrounded by clouds in the early morning
