HOW TO GO TO ALIBIJABAN ISLAND

To reach Alibijaban Island, you need to go to the jump off point- San Andres Quezon, some 305km (6-7 hour travel by land) southeast of Manila.

The port of San Andres would be the starting point of the island hopping adventure. The most convenient means to reach San Andres Quezon is by private transport so you have more flexibility when it comes to stopovers and travel time. f you are planning on traveling alone or with 2-3 companions, commuting is way more practical and economical option.


Barney Auto Lines
 (contact numbers 09253227639/ 09207072414/ 09257474768) have scheduled trips from Cubao to San Andres at 3:00PM & 8:30PM daily. Ordinary buses with wifi will cost you Php417, airconditioned bus is at Php500. For students & senior citizens Php337. Superlines (02) 4143319 / (02)4143321 / 09225225192 (airconditioned buses at Php470 one way) have scheduled trips 4:30am, 2:30pm and 5:30pm daily.

Alternatively, bus companies like DLTB, Lucena Lines and Jac Liner have regular daily trips from Cubao to Lucena. Fare ranges from Php210 to Php250. There are vans (Php270) bound to San Andres at SM City Lucena but they follow no schedule and will only move until they are full.

Option 2: If you’re uncomfortable with the non-airconditioned bus going to Quezon, you may option to have a cutting trip. Just pick a bus of your choice that goes to Lucena Grand Terminal. There are a lot of buses coming from Edsa. At Lucena Grand Terminal. You can wait for buses that will take you to San Andres Quezon. (This option is not really recommended because it will take you hours of waiting at Lucena Grand Terminal before you can have a bus or a van that will take you to San Andres, Quezon)

For return trip starting in San Andres, theres a van that goes to Lucena at 3:00am, 4:00am and 6:00am schedule daily. You can reach them at +639105863023. On the other hand, Barney Auto Lines bound for Lucena leaves San Andres 9:00am for the first trip, then 10:00am and 1:00pm. The last trip leaves at 08:00PM but this is bound straight to Cubao. Superlines has departures at 3:00PM, 4:00PM, and 9:00PM (San Andres to Cubao).

From San Andres bus terminal, you can take those bicycles with side cars called “padyak” to reach pier at Php20 per ride, but in reality, it depends on how generous you are because you will surely get an answer, “Bahala na po kayo” (all up to you) when you ask how much is the fare.

Once you arrive at the port of San Andres, you need to register first, pay the environmental fee of Php4 per head and enlist your name and other pertinent details on the boat’s manifesto. If you have a car there is a spacious parking lot right in front of the port office (Thats Php30 per vehicle for the whole duration of the stay)

Mantigue Island Travel Guide: Promoting Eco-Tourism in Camiguin


Back in 2016, my friends (Team Basti) and I, embarked on an unforgettable 2 days and 1 night trip to the enchanting island of Camiguin.



It was part of our Northern Mindanao tour which also included Cagayan de Oro, Iligan City, and Bukidnon.

Team Basti at Mantigue Island

Camiguin immediately reminded me of Siquijor Island, which I visited in 2014. Both islands radiate an untouched, serene beauty — a perfect mix of pristine beaches, a laid-back island vibe, and an overwhelming presence of lush nature.

Benoni Port in Mahinog, Camiguin

They aren't overly commercialized, allowing you to truly connect with the environment, explore untouched waters, and enjoy the simplicity of island life at its finest.

If you are into adventure, check out my CDO White Water Rafting Experience which we had on the 3rd day of our Northern Mindanao trip.

Watch the full video of our Northern Mindanao Trip here:


What is Camiguin Famous For?


Camiguin is known as the "Island Born of Fire" because it was formed by volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. It has seven volcanoes, including the active Mount Hibok-Hibok.

Camiguin holds the record for having the most number of volcanoes per square kilometer in the world.

It's also famous for natural springs, waterfalls, heritage sites, and White Island, a stunning sandbar.

Sunken Cemetery view deck

Plus, Camiguin is home to historical landmarks like the Sunken Cemetery, submerged during a volcanic eruption in the 1870s.

The annual Lanzones Festival every October is a must-experience, celebrating the island’s sweet lanzones fruit.

Respect nature and locals: Camiguin remains peaceful because of the respect between tourists and locals.

Environmental fees: Some attractions require small environmental or entrance fees.

Weather check: Although it's generally sunny, typhoons can affect ferry trips.

Best Time to Visit


March to May (Summer) for clear skies and smooth ferry rides.

October if you want to witness the colorful Lanzones Festival.

Avoid visiting during the rainy season (June to September) due to unpredictable seas.



How to Get to Camiguin from Manila


Fly from Manila (NAIA) to Laguindingan Airport (CDO) – several airlines have daily direct flights (1.5 hours).

Touch down Laguindingan Airport

From Laguindingan Airport, travel by land to Balingoan Port (around 2 to 2.5 hours by bus or van).

Getting Around Camiguin

Getting around Camiguin Island is quite easy and fun because the island is small and scenic! Here are the main ways you can travel around:


Motorbike/Scooter Rental


Most popular option. You can rent a motorbike or scooter for around ₱400 to ₱600 per day.

It’s the best way if you want flexibility to visit places like White Island, Katibawasan Falls, Sunken Cemetery, and Tuasan Falls at your own pace.

Make sure you have a driver’s license (some rentals check).


Multicab Rental


A multicab is a small jeepney-like vehicle that you can hire privately.

Good for groups or families who want a guided trip around the island.

Rates are around ₱1,500 to ₱2,500 for a full-day tour depending on the destinations.


Habal-Habal (Motorcycle Taxi)


You can ride on the back of a motorcycle operated by a local driver.

Ideal for solo travelers or couples who don’t want to drive.

Rates are negotiable, often starting around ₱500 to ₱1,000 for day tours.

A tricycle in Camiguin

Tricycle


You can use tricycles for short distances, like getting from your resort to restaurants or the port. 

Not ideal for island hopping or long trips because it can be slow and pricier for longer rides.


Car Rental


If you prefer more comfort, some resorts or local operators offer car rentals.

Great if you’re traveling with family, especially if it rains.


Tour Packages


Some hotels and tour operators offer pre-arranged Camiguin day tours that cover major sites with a guide.

Prices vary but often start around ₱1,500 to ₱2,000 per person, including entrance fees and lunch.

CAMIGUIN: Travel Guide to the Island Born of Fire in the Philippines (Tourist Spots, Budget and Itinerary)


Welcome to the most famous diving spot in the Philippines!



Anilao, Mabini

Known as “underwater photographer’s paradise”, Anilao is a Marine Protected Sanctuary that is commonly regarded as the birthplace of scuba diving in the Philippines.

Underwater of Verde Island Passage

It is s thriving tourist destination replete with open beaches and sheltered coves, subterranean caves of deep harbors, and a preserved heritage of brave men in history.

Verde Island Passage diving spot area

Dive spots were slowly named one after the other around the perimeter of Mabini, including Bauan, all the way to the perimeter of the three islands across it, namely Maricaban, Caban, and Sombrero Island, which are part of the municipality of Tingloy. Since then, Anilao became the generic term to represent all of the dive sites found in Mabini, Tingloy, and Bauan.


Diving in the Philippines

Located in Indo-Pacific's Coral Triangle and boasting over 7,000 islands, the Philippines is home to some of the world's best scuba diving. With pristine coral reefs, lush coral gardens, huge schools of fish, rare critters, manta rays, and even whale sharks--there's something for everyone in the Philippines!

Courtesy of Eagle Point Beach and Dive Resort

Why choose Anilao for your diving spot?

The closest underwater haven for fun dive tours from Metro Manila has always been Anilao. It is the main reason why almost all divers who reside in Metro Manila were baptized as a diver in Anilao before exploring other Philippine diving spots like Tubbataha Reef in Sulu Sea, diving in Apo Island, Coron wreck diving, diving in Puerto Galera, Bohol diving spots, and Cebu diving spots


Secret Bay, also known as Manit Muck, is probably the best muck dive site in Anilao. Here, you can find mimic octopus, wonderpus, pipefish, frogfish, and the list goes on.

The Pier is where you can find the much-sought-after bobbit worms and stargazers!

Twin Rocks

Twin Rocks is great for macro and wide-angle alike, with pristine soft corals, schooling jacks, and plenty of small fish.

Beatrice is a great wide-angle site with colorful corals teeming with anthias and other reef fish.
