Mount Hibok-Hibok
Hibok-Hibok
An active volcano 1,332 meters high. Its 1951 eruption killed thousands. From the summit you can see the whole island and a crater lake.
Mount Hibok-Hibok is the highest and most active volcano on Camiguin. It is a protected area with ASEAN Heritage Park status. To climb, you must register with the protected area office, buy a permit and hire a licensed guide, which costs about 2,000 to 3,000 pesos per group. Climbs usually start before dawn and take 8 to 10 hours round trip. The slopes are steep and slippery, and the climb requires good fitness. A PHIVOLCS volcano observatory on the mountainside offers information on the 1951 eruption. Climbs are suspended during volcanic activity or in the rainy season.
