How much did you pay for the fare from CDO to Balingoan? Can you also recommend a cheap resort or place to rent for 2 days? also was it P400 per head or P400 per bangka going to white island? I'm planning to go there this March and I'm on a tight budget, hope you could help. Thanks!

I believe we took an fx going to balingoan, as far as i can remember it is between 150 -200 pesos.
its 400 per boat ride, you can even ask for cheaper rate because it is just near the shoreline.

thanks so much for your feedback, i sent your url to all my friends who are planning to go there... Did you rent a resort room? how much was it? hmmm i really wanna check out the white island because it looks soooooooo pretty! so it's P400 per boat ride regardless of how many passengers? or do we pay P400 each? and it's P400 back and forth right?

the white island is the only white sand beach in Camiguin, it is not as good as i expected because there are lots of vendors on that island selling foods, souvenirs and other stuff...as for the boat, it's just a small boat good for 5 persons i think...im not sure how much would it cost to go there now. We did not rent a room, we stayed on my friend's friend house :-)
Be ready for the budget because i assure you that it would be expensive this summer.

hi have you been to mantigue island too?
August 5, 2009 at 7:46 PM
I believe the current rate for renting the boat to Camiguin is P500.
Can you confirm if your P400 boat ride was for a round trip or if it was for a one way trip?
I want to make sure that we'll be paying for the right rates. Thank you for an informative article!

Rafting is one of the best adventure water sports, very exhilarating and fun experience for friends and families. Not a bad way to spend some bonding time with them.
