Beautiful island. Lots of trees. Calm water when I went. Boats at the port are around Php 700 (or was it 750?) round trip, plus environmental fee. Boat can accommodate upto 4 pax, so if you are traveling solo, you can either hire the entire boat or arrange to divide expenses with fellow solo travellers. Get ready with your Camiguin QR code. One can stay at the island for a maximum of 3 hours.
Boats are available at 6am, it's a quick 15-20 minute ride from the port to the island.
No wash rooms in the island, you can rinse when you get back to the port.

Truly, worth traveling for. A 45mins boat ride. The view is overwhelming. Best time to visit is in the morning. Don’t be fooled by a man from white sand bar area, who will actually ask tourists to rent a life vest for P100 each. Life vest going to Mantigue is actually provided for free by the boat men.

A short 15min boat journey from the main Camiguin island lies this beautiful little island. A good way to waste half a day snorkeling, with food and drink available. One note of caution, take beach shoes as the coral washed up on the beach can make it quite uncomfortable to get in and out of the sea.

We paid (I can't remember the exact prices) 600 for the boat, 50 each for the environmental fee and there are swimming gears for rent near the port.
The port has a free parking lot, do not be fooled by others saying you have to pay for it(we got scammed).
It took about 20-30 minutes to reach the island and the boatmen charge additional 200-300 pesos to take you to the marine sanctuary and around the island(we didn't take it though).
When we got to the island, we rented a small table and the smell kind of bothered us since it smelled like rotting fish...
We regretted not bringing lunch though since the food there was more than twice the price. The sand was white and mostly free from garbage and seaweed. The water level is quite low though and there were a lot of sea urchins so take extra care. There was not much fish to see, but we saw 5 kinds of jellyfish and colored sea urchins which was pretty cool.

This island is a absolute must while in camiguin. Cost 900 peso for 3 people but it’s an true tropical island. We had to walk out to boat as tide was out so be prepared to bring some swim shoes as the bottom is a bit stoney but one on the island your gonna love it.

A must after visiting white island. Very relaxing and you can buy food and drinks here. Shallow water, excellent for kid's. Also nice just to walk around the island. You can stay in the water for hours snorkeling

This island is accessible by boats that are rented for Php550 at the time of this writing. Passengers of every boat is limited at a maximum of six persons. The island has nice white beaches and a marine sanctuary where you can go snorkeling or diving. There is also a short forest trail where you can walk around.
Tables and benches are available for rent and foods are available for purchase. There are also restrooms and bathrooms on the island. This is a commendable side trip when you are already on the main island of Camiguin.

the place is still undeveloped, has bare facilities for comfort room and groceries.there's no cottages for rent.there's no overnight stay on the island.only tourists go there.but the place is beautiful with white fine sand beach and clear blue water. very nice for swimming and snorkeling. and to relax and unwind with the mystic background view of camiguin island.,this place can be reached by 20 minute ride by banca from camiguin.

This is a must place to visit when in camiguin.
I recommend that you visit white island early in the morning(530-7am) . Stay there for 15 minutes. Go back to the main island then proceed to mantigue.
You can have lunch here.
cottages are available (150php)
you can order food thru their LGU store
you can also bring your own food
you can stay longer
you can enjoy banana boat ride (1200 for 15 minutes)
jetski and snorkeling, also available
sand is very fine compared to white island
a wonderful beach experience for kids, adults and even grandparents 😉
We were a family of 13 with a senior citizen, 8 adults and 4 kids.
