Most UNDERRATED ISLAND in the Philippines - Hawaii of The Philippines

The most underrated island in. the Philippines, this place has hardly any tourists yet looks like the Hawaii of the Philippines with Volcanos, mountains, beaches and waterfalls.

I love how you guys go out of your way to explore these gorgeous places that may not be as well known to people outside of the Philippines. Makes me want to follow in your footsteps to see these magnificent islands and beaches for myself. The Philippines is such a beautiful country!

[@zenthumb]

I agree. This is one of your best place you have visited. It looks so pure. What I like about you guys is you wake up early to get the best light and avoid crowds. That's why you get the best visuals.

[@Joelfriend]

OHH yes, you know us! It's the best way to make the most out of the day and have the beautiful spots all to ourselves! :)

[@bisayakaayo8595]

camiguin is so stunning, it likes takes you to another moment in time when everything was simple , quiet, natural and picturesque!!

[@erickgamboa501]

Camiguin landscape is amazing and you both witness it, the falls and sandbar is very beautiful❤ and you both enjoy it very much!

[@Joelfriend]

We loved it so much!

[@undressbonifacio5929]

Camiguin has a lot of potential. If you're kind of tourist who wanted to relax and feel the vibe of a real island life, it is definitely the place to be.

[@Joelfriend]

100% I feel Camigin has a lot of growth potential in the next 5 years with tourists!

[@sacmarcela1973]

So many stunning beautiful nature here in the Philippines some are just really underrated but the good thing is you can enjoy it peacefully without over crowding tourists.

[@henrymercado9949]

Enjoy guys

[@Joelfriend]

Thank you!

[@r.gabrielocot4253]

Get yourself a Camiguin tee shirt. Btw, it's 'ca-mi-gin' not 'cami-gwin'. The nearby tiny island Mantigue is uninhabited and pretty special. Hike up a volcano if you have time, amazing. Glad you could make it this most volcanic island on the planet!

[@rosstravels.official]

Whoo!! Go Emilia! First ever outro😆😆🎉🎉. You guys continue to be my favourite couple and dynamic duo ever😆😆. I need to add this to my SE Asia tentative plans:)

[@Joelfriend]

Ayy thanks legend! Message me if you ever need any help, more than happy to give you advice on anything! Take that leap and. send it to SE Asia!

[@XanderJoshuaAce]

That's my dream destination Camiguin Island. I think thats the most beautiful island in the phils.

[@Joelfriend]

It’s definitely up there, it’s very different to other islands, it stands out as somewhere special for sure!

[@SilentTrigger31585]

Don't just dream, claim it. I was there 2012 and it was a blast. Definitly my favorite island.

[@migsluck1]

My Papas home island!! 🙌🏾🙏🏾 Thank you for visiting! I’m sure everyone was very friendly and gave you no problems. Most of the islands populations stems from 3 or 4 main households that have been around for a long time so we’re all very much like family!

[@doc2log]

I lived in Camiguin as a rural medical doctor for one year. I regret not goung back to practice there as I love the island so much abd make it a point to visit once a year. It has changed so much but so many parts are still the same. And life is still languid, simple and slow. Hope it stays that way for a long, long time!!

[@Joelfriend]

I hope so too! It's such a beautiful island, and the vibe and the people are so lovely here!

[@ramilbautista7558]

enjoy sir and mam keep safe

[@Joelfriend]

Thank you very much :)

[@JEgkt]

Hinatuan Enchanted River is also worth the trip. The color of the river is something else at time you might think at yourself having acid trip its how deep the color of the water and depending how the light hits it gives this different hue of color its mesmerizing.

[@jacolyn12]

Yes. For sure!!

[@emmettasinas8890]

Such brave and adventurous kids. Sorry about the cold water in the waterfall. OMG, you could at least have brought some flip flops with you. Any sharks in the water? I hope not.

[@nightwing4065]

Yeah, the White Island sand bar is pretty EPIC!

[@maeannperillo7653]

Camiguin Island is so beautiful like you guys. I’m so glad and happy because you’re liking our Country. I’m praying for everyone’s safety. ♥️♥️♥️

Hi there! It is actually pronounced /ka-mi-gin/. I love this island since it is sort of like a quick weekend getaway from my hometown Cagayan de Oro and I think I'll never get tired of its natural beauty. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay!

[@Jerry-rp2fq]

Huge water falls

[@froilananthony7391]

paradise guys! ❤

[@jcomber1216]

Hey, love your videos. Im just about the set off for 3 months for my first trip to SE Asia. I would love you to do a video of each country a few places you must visit and what route you would recommend. Would be great

[@alannavx]

Remembering my young adult years spending weekends there in Camiguin. One more place you might want to check out would be the Sto. Niño cold springs in Catarman, Camiguin. It's the exact opposite of Ardent hot springs. Also, since you have a bike with you, just travel around the island's circumferential road so you can see the different municipalities.

[@froilananthony7391]

white paradise wow guys!

[@Spy-hp8ki]

The Beauty of the Philippines.

[@VinchysVisuals]

It is called or named Tuasan falls. There are a few more falls there in Camiguin and other places to visit, enjoy! Btw, seems your lens have some dirt on it.

[@observerguy6943]

Ive been in camiguin 4x. Its not hard to get there after youve done there you can go by boat to Jagna bohol or to cagayan de oro or? Cebu.

[@archiecamilon4102]

Camiguin is one of the most scenic place in the Philippines.

[@luzvidz8834]

You should check out BILIRAN island ..it looks like Hawaii too..and island of CRESTA de GaLLO and for an international SIM check out hola fly ☺️✌🏼🇫🇷

[@helenpernites8368]

[@bongablay2385]

I have toured the island once 12 years ago. It's really a paradise. I wish I could go back soon. I imagine I could retire in such a place.

[@Gnihtemo]

8 volcanoes there in camiguin.. they have sunken cemetery

[@ElisahvandenBorn]

HI!! My husband and I are currently planning our trip. We have 4 days that we can spend on Camiguin or on Siargao. What would you recommend??

[@alexdeponti5868]

Hey guys, love the video thank you! I actually need some help. Going to the Philippines next month and cannot decide. Balabac or Camiguin? I am already doing Tao Expeditions so cannot decide… What would you recommend?

[@fkoff7649]

Camiguin is best kept unknown. A lot of tourists would destroy the place making it polluted, then it will lose its serenity and more people or tourists would drive the prices up. It will become a tourist trap instead of a true nature paradise, so it's best to be kept lowkey. PH is better with low tourists compared to Thailand, Bali, despite the many incredible things PH can offer and also the benefit the revenue can do from tourism, but places like Camiguin should be off the radar for a lot of people in that way it will not be commercialized and be able to retain its natural peace and beauty. El Nido and Boracay were once like Camiguin, so hopefully Camiguin can keep its tranquility. Anyway, if Camiguin will become too touristy one day there are still other many unknown but beautiful and spectacular places in PH that are yet to be discovered. Great shots btw.

[@TropicalOceanCleanup]

Too late, it is already polluted from the residents. That is where I come in.,....saving this island for future generations to come.

[@fkoff7649]

@@TropicalOceanCleanup the natives / the residents who have been there weren't the ones who polluted it. It's usually the tourists both local and some foreign who do that.

[@TropicalOceanCleanup]

@@fkoff7649 Some might think that, check my channel government here dipped the ball on waste management. Many residents have no options. That's where I come in stopping it before it gets into the ocean. Big increase in pollution recently, was so much cleaner when I moved to Camiguin in 2007.

[@fkoff7649]

@@TropicalOceanCleanup I actually bumped into your channel not so long time ago and we thank you so much for putting in your best effort to save Camiguin and some parts in Mindanao, and mother nature in general or the environment. You may not hear this often but I just want you to know that I salute you for your initiative and for being persistent in achieving your goal to keep the environment clean. It's such a bummer that the govt both local and national isn't doing much about the cleanliness of the surroundings or keeping the environment clean and all that, that's why I myself contribute in my own little way by not throwing garbage anywhere. If I have enough time in the future, I'll definitely have programs like yourself but in my case, go visit schools and the dept of education to encourage children or to teach them the value of proper waste disposal and some means of keeping the environment safe and clean but yea you said yourself Camiguin was a lot cleaner way back in 2007, so like I was saying earlier, the locals or the natives, the people who's lived there for many decades already kept the environment clean. It's just with the new generation, or the other locals who moved there and some tourists both local and foreign in a way contributed to the worsening of the environmental disturbance and pollution there, but then again, we thank you for doing your best, although you shouldn't be doing it since it's the govt's responsibility and the citizens, but still you have care and initiative, so thank you so much. God bless you and may more people like you have care or concern for the environment.
