Flights via Cebu, ferries from Bohol and the Mindanao coast, and how to get around once you land on the Island Born of Fire.
Camiguin's small airport (CGM) in Mambajao is served by flights from Cebu, which connects to Manila and international routes. This is the simplest option for most travelers: fly to Cebu, catch the short hop to Camiguin, and you land close to the island's main beach strip.
Ferries link Camiguin with Jagna on Bohol and with Balingoan on the Mindanao coast, docking at Benoni port. The Mindanao crossing is short and frequent; the Bohol route runs less often and can be weather-dependent. Schedules shift with the season, so confirm current timetables shortly before travel rather than relying on older guides.
Camiguin loops in under 70 kilometers, and the coastal road makes it easy to tour. Renting a scooter is the popular choice, while tricycles and multicabs connect the main towns if you prefer not to drive. Distances are short enough that you can see several sights in a day from a Mambajao base.
Build slack into your plans: sailings and flights can be canceled when the weather turns, and back-to-back connections are risky. Carry cash, as ATMs and card payments are limited outside Mambajao, and note that the port terminals charge small terminal fees in cash.
Where to stay, how to get there, and what to do — the complete Camiguin destination guide puts the whole picture in one place.
