Just a few hours away from the city of Cebu, Camotes Island provides a great place for the weekend warriors. It has a laid back atmosphere, perfect for those who are seeking a place away from the noise of the city. So, if you want to re-fuel again, feel refresh, and recharge yourself for whatever life throws at you, head to Camotes Island. And don't worry if you just have a day to check it out. You still can enjoy it as we did.
Here's how you can spend your one day in Camotes Island:
1. Reflect in the Green Lake
While you can't really do a lot of things here, there's one thing that this place is known for - its view of the tranquil lake. Whether you're a reflective person or not, the place will force you to think deeply. The place provides the right view and silence for helping you think things through.
2. Kayak in the Blue Lake
If you've been wanting to do something fun and healthy at the same time, then you better try kayaking in the Blue Lake, also known as Lake Danao. And do not just aim to kayak for a few minutes. Challenge yourself to reach that mini island in the center of the lake. It'll definitely put into use your biceps and triceps :)
3. Explore the Timubo Cave
Timubo Cave is one of the famous spots in Camotes Island. If you've been to Hinagdanan Cave in Bohol, then you will observed that both caves have similarities - the improved 'trail' going into the deeper part of the cave and the clear blue water inside it.
You shouldn't go out of the cave without having a dip into its water. It's one of the best things to do if you're there. The water will soothe you and will make you appreciate the cave even more. And if you have goggles with you, PLEASE, please use it. You will be amazed by the rock structures underneath.
Note:
If you'd like to go around these places with ease, you can hire a motorcycle. My friend and I split the costs.
You can contact this driver (failed to write down his name) to be your guide - his rate is good enough: +639436466891
