Going to Camotes is a bit expensiv...Hi, Panaderos! Going to Camotes is a bit expensive if you're from Manila because you'll be paying for airfare (Manila-Cebu-Manila). Fast crafts, ferries and outrigger boats have trips to Camotes from Cebu daily. Ocean Jet, a fast-craft is P320/person, one-way, a 2-hour trip. Ferries and outrigger boats are much cheaper but the trip takes 4 hours.<BR/><BR/>The accomodation is reasonably priced. In Santiago Bay where I stayed, they have non-airconditioned rooms at P500/night for 2 persons. The airconditioned rooms are from P1000/night (for 2), P1500 for 3. They also have villas for groups---from P3000 to P6000 yata.<BR/><BR/>You can also check out this website: www.camotesresorts.com.ph<BR/><BR/>The inland transporation is a bit expensive though because they don't have jeeps or tricycles for commuters. The motorbike ride from the pier to Santiago Bay costs P150 (one-way). I paid P450 for a half-day habal-habal ride. Car-rental is available but I'm sure it's too expensive. The resort is charging P2000 for a van to pick up guests from the pier.:(<BR/><BR/>I'm sure there are still lots of islands and places here waiting to be "discovered". The Caraga Region in Mindanao is also beautiful. I'm still saving for the trip. :D<BR/><BR/>I hope you'd get a chance to visit Camotes Islands soon.:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970334007479646177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-34925335182714164432008-06-02T05:33:00.000+08:002008-06-02T05:33:00.000+08:00I hope you won't mind but what should be one's bud...I hope you won't mind but what should be one's budget to come and enjoy these islands?

I believe the area has been declared by the gov't as a protected landscape. And yes, it's not as remote as it used to. According to my aunt who works for a gov't agency, the lake is now accessible and roads are concrete.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for droppin' by.:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970334007479646177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-64964287742205721772008-06-01T12:03:00.000+08:002008-06-01T12:03:00.000+08:00Ang ganda pala ng Camotes Island and its Danao Lak...Ang ganda pala ng Camotes Island and its Danao Lake! I hope I get a chance to visit the place before tourism ruins it LOL.<BR/><BR/>I visited Lake Sebu in the early '60 when I was still working for the government. I was literally stunned by its serene beauty and the abundance of wildlife and its "remoteness." I am afraid this is no longer true - the beauty is still there I am sure, the wildlife is probably gone and its remoteness is history. It is sadly described as progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045178631735607602.post-7873419401577596392008-06-01T01:09:00.000+08:002008-06-01T01:09:00.000+08:00You should visit this island soon, Migs, before th...You should visit this island soon, Migs, before the whole world discovers it.
