Did you know that there are fourteen volcanos on Camiguin (Philvolcs number), only one of which remains on the active list.
The volcanic island has so much to offer including
- Black sand beaches (the result of eruptions)
- A sunken cemetery now overgrown with coral after sinking into the ocean in 1871
- Thriving reefs where you can catch sight of up to 15 sea turtles in one morning
- Waterfalls and dormant volcano hikes
- And a striking white sandbar which we have the pleasure of swimming to or from on race day.
A modern national road runs the circumference of the island, a total of 60Km around. This allows you to go from grills by the seashore to a breezy mountain cafe in 30minutes.
This is our FOURTH year in Camiguin and we are excited to introduce even more swimmers to the beauty of this less-visited (not for long!) but amazing island.
