Fly to Camiguin from Cebu or Manila with Cebu Pacific

 

It has been almost two years ago since I last took a flight to anywhere, other than my home province – Negros Oriental. See, when the lockdown was announced in Metro Manila last March 2020, my sister and I booked a flight, packed all the personal and work gadgets we needed for 6 months to 1 year and went back home, leaving everything behind. 

Nostalgic in a way that is why when my friend and fellow travel blogger, Ed of Eazy Traveler, who is based in Cebu invited to go to Camiguin last December, I filed my leaves at work and packed my bags immediately because I don’t even remember when was the last time I took a leave that long and I also really missed the good old days of either travel planning or spontaneous trips.

Cebu Pacific is currently the online airline operating direct flights to Camiguin from two of its major hubs: Manila and Cebu. I remember booking a ticket to Camiguin in 2013 that I didn’t push through due to work schedule. And, unbelievably, it took me 8 years to finally realize that trip!

I had a lot of apprehension travelling during pandemic. That is the main reason why I couldn’t go back to Manila, only took as far as Cebu last year due to personal reasons. But other than that, I wouldn’t have gone anywhere. But with Cebu Pacific, it really felt like the good old days of travelling. Only more efficient with much enhanced processing since pandemic started, promoting contactless procedures:

- online check-in via mobile apps or websites

- contactless check-in via on-site kiosks

- self-bag tag kiosks at the NAIA T3

It also helps to know that 100% of their active cabin crew are fully vaccinated and are in full PPEs, with constant disinfecting in the aircraft with alcohol, and orderly boarding and deplaning.

Camiguin is officially open for tourists last mid November 2021. And we arrived early December to see the island for a week. It was a trip that is one for the books. Though it may have taken a long time to finally arrive in the “Island Born of Fire” and the second smallest province in the Philippines, but it was definitely worth the wait. Adventure in the island is truly limitless -- complete from reef to ridge which includes numerous springs, beaches, waterfalls, mountains, snorkeling or diving sites, a sunken cemetery, numerous historic ruins, and 7 major active volcanoes!
