Do u know how huge indonesia is?? Phil nature or islands is nothing compared to indonesia. My point is you dont say indonesia is too commercialized. There are much much more unexplored part of Indo.. 😉
Love your videos Gareth.My beloved PH never run out of surprises from one beautiful island to another.I just finished watching your last video of northern luzon and now here comes a video of camiguin.The whole island of camiguin in one video awesome,beautiful island.Looking forward for another upload.cheers
Been to Camiguin 3 weeks ago. Toured the island with a scooter. Lot of tourist attraction packed in a one small island. My favourite place was the White Island. View is amazing
Hi Gareth. You are still in the Philippines?? Wow!! Thank you for loving my country, the food, the people, the view. I love it that you’re loving every single moment. Your vlogs are very educational and amazing. PLUS you ARE very easy on the eye. It’s really a pleasure watching you.
Watching this during this pandemic makes me a little bit emotional. Soon when this pandemic is over, gonna make sure to visit this place. Your videos are giving so much hope right now. Thanks for your beautiful insights about our country!
Amazing Philippines island ,,. Wonderful beach wow , fantastic water falls,., beautiful green mountain. Nice hiking, thank you very much for sharing watching form Los Angeles
Wow. Camiguin Island is gorgeous! The hidden waterfall your friend took you to looks like the perfect place to explore and appreciate nature, while Tuasan seems like a great spot to visit if you want to hang out with a lot of locals. They seem so friendly and the coconut looks like it was delicious! I first saw the old Spanish church ruins, underwater cemetery, and giant clam sanctuary on Mike Corey's channel a couple of months ago. I'm glad another of my favorite travel vloggers visited these three incredible places! I'm still in awe of them, watching your video. So cool! The color of the water around White Island is absolutely stunning. Unreal! Love the conservation efforts the locals are doing with the giant clams and mangrove park, too. And simply put, Mantigue Island looks like paradise. I don't think I'd want to leave! Awesome vlog, man. Beautiful work. Looking forward to your Siargao videos!!
I miss the island where I grow up those sunny days and a beautiful beach to walk everyday. Now in New York almost snowing whole week with the weather temperatures of -10 Celsius today and -13 last night it was freezing cold.. hope you enjoy your stay in the island..
Wow! I am getting jealous now on Gareth because of all these sunshine and pleasant tropical weather! As we are in Toronto, Canada now in minus 12 and boon-chilling temperature!
:-) Thanks Bro, Camiguin Island is on my Bucket list and a Friend of mine has relatives there so I'm looking forward to visiting them and the Island :-). Great Video as always :-)

Gareth you should've tried diving in the waters near the giant clam park where they released the fully grown ones. I believe they also rent out scuba gear...
So happy you got to explore the home island of my birth, Camiguin! But sad you missed out the tallest waterfalls, the 60 feet high KATIBAWASAN FALLS , as well the Bora Soda Water Spring and the Sto. Niño cold spring.
White island looks much bigger and longer compared to to the last time I went there in the mid 90s. Camiguin is known for the lush mountains, super cold water pools, hot springs, and alluring waterfalls. All the best, Gareth!
Thanks Gareth Leonard for promoting my Island Camiguin, from the word Come Again guys! Camiguin guys! I've been to 54 countries & practically whole of Philippines, but at 55yrs old, it seem not enough! Enjoy your journey young man! 😇😄😀 Travel Safe!😉
Thank you for all of your trips to all these beautiful Islands, places back home that I didn’t know exist until I started watching ur video blogs :) I’ve been living here in the US for a very long time, I went back a few times now I know where me next destinations next time I go back home Thanks to you!:)
Thanks for featuring my beloved home town I'm already missin it. Good thing you enjoyed your trip there have fun bro. 6 more months and I'll be in my hometown again. Keep that positive vibes bro, greetings from Queens New York. 🤙
Thank you for sharing your travels. Really enjoyed watching it and brings me back memories:) Seriously don’t stop what you’re doing. Living through you right now.
Been there and White beach is one of the best I've seen too, a great island and its drinking water is the best tasting I've come across outside of my native Sweden.
its nice to know that foreign people come to our country.. even US neither dont or cannot get there thou.. Filipinos now also get into trips/travelling to see abd check out our very own Native Land! thank you.
Thanks for dropping by at my hometown.. So happy that tourist enjoys the adventure trip along our small island paradise.. ❤ Balik balik unya sa among isla.. 🏖 (if you come to come to camiguin, you'd definitely come again.)
I truly agree with you Gareth the White island is a gem. When I was elemetary my father invited his siblings n their family to spend the Holy Week in Camiguin. Japanese were the only tourist knew about the island . They spend more time in the hot spring n the pool was clean. No fishing net above the pool n only surrounded with big rocks....same thing in Katabawasan fall. The town was uncrowded. At my time the place was simple n peaceful.
What a great surprise! You visited my most favorite island in the whole country! I lived there in Camiguin for a year as newly-graduated physician in catarman where that church ruins is located. I have such fond memories of the place and its locals...I can also see some changes like Tuason falls is now very accesible, where before we would be trekking through thick jungle! Its also the place where I learned to drink "tuba-bahalina" and "Kulafu", hahahahahaha! And at night I would go catch squid and "tulingan" (mackarel), with some fisherman friends! Its a pity you went a bit late though because you missed the Camiguin lanzones. But, yeah, the place is somewhere I go back to every year. BTW, in the outskirts of Mambajao, the capital, you can see a lot of great small restaurants offering a variety of international cuisine! For those going to Camiguin, I do recommend climbing Hibok-Hibok volcano and diving in Mantigue island for a great adventure!
Nah, not practical and isn't in the of scale of his content that we love 😎 Wish everyone could afford to see Amanpulo specially us Pinoys. Sadly it's not going to happen. Yes that's right, only the rich can 😁
Im so speechless men what a beautiful and wonderful drone shot. You are so great men . I like your vlog dude its so epic. It seems im in the place where you are. Oh men take care always God Bless. 👏👏👏💯💯💯👍👍👍

W😍w Camiguin Island
You'll love Siargao Island. Been there 2 times. My fiancé is from there.
Beautiful Camiguin! Sounds like "Come Again". Come Again to Camiguin. I miss the Philippines. :(
I'm glad you get to explore the less touristy parts of the Philippines. Keep the travel videos coming!
So many unexplored places in the Philippines. I hope they stay that way so they don’t end up too commercialised like Thailand or Indonesia.
Do u know how huge indonesia is?? Phil nature or islands is nothing compared to indonesia. My point is you dont say indonesia is too commercialized. There are much much more unexplored part of Indo.. 😉
@@tinmiles1285 hahahaha. Well, Philippines has it all. 😜
@Kay Flip what the heck. All of INDONESIA'S 17,000 PLUS ISLANDS can only be compared to a few islands of the Philippines. That's a fact 😂😂😂
@@tinmiles1285 philippines is the best check it out sometimes
Point taken.

Visited Camiguin Island in 2010 and fell in love with the place. Went to the sand bar and loved the small island living.
