I might be a little difficult sometimes to travel to Camiguin. The only direct and daily connection by boat is to Cagayan de Oro and Balinguan on the main Island of Mindanao and to Jagna on Bohol Island. Once a week , a ferry boat also goes from Cebu to Camiguin.
There used to be three weekly flights by SEAIR from Cebu as well but all flights has been suspended recently for some unknown reason.
From Cagayan de Oro to Camiguin:
Daily Fast Craft (Paras Sea Cat) departs at the Port of CDO at 8:30 am and arrives in Benoni on Camiguin at 10:30 am.
Alternatively, take a bus or van from Agora Bus Terminal to Balinguan (about 2 hours, 80 km). Busses depart at the terminal every hour or so.
It might be easier and more comfortable to take a taxi from town or at the airport that will bring you directly to Balinguan in about 1 1/2 hours. The Price for the taxi should be around 1000,- Peso.
From Balinguan to Benoni on Camiguin, small ferries depart about every hour.
From Manila:
Take a flight to Cagayan de Oro and follow the instructions above.
From Cebu:
A Super Shuttle Ferry departs every Friday at 8:00 pm from Pier 8 in Cebu and arrives at Balbagon Port on Camiguin the next morning at about 7:00 am. It sails back on Sunday evening 8:00 pm. Ask at the Pier for the exact schedule, it might be changed slightly from time to time.
On other days of the week, the only ways to get from Cebu to Camiguin is via Cagayan de Oro or Jagna on Bohol Island.
From Cebu to Cagayan de Oro you can either travel by boat or by plane. Use the method described above to get from CDO to Camiguin.
If you prefer to travel via Bohol, take a Fast Craft to Tagbilaran in Bohol (1 1/2 hours) and from there a taxi, van or Jeepney to Jagna, which takes another 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Please be aware that you have to arrive in Jagna before 1:00 pm to catch the daily ferry boat to Camiguin. The price for the ferry boat is 400,- Peso.
New, since June 2009:
A Paras Sea Cat travels from Jagna (Bohol) to Benoni on Camiguin every Wednesday, Friday & Sunday at 3:30 pm. The schedule from Camiguin to Jagna (Bohol) is 11:00 am on the same days.
