Camiguin Airport — Mambajao, Philippines

Camiguin Airport, at Mambajao, opens up one of the Philippines' smallest and most volcanically active provinces to visitors chasing hot springs, waterfalls, and the sunken cemetery left behind when Mount Vulcan buried an old town in the nineteenth century. Seven volcanic peaks crowd an island barely larger than many city districts, and the short runway near the coast accommodates only small turboprop aircraft flying in from Cebu. Diving around the island's fringing reefs and the White Island sandbar, a crescent of pale sand with no vegetation at all, draws a steady trickle of travelers willing to make the trip via Camiguin's limited flight schedule. Rough seas can affect the alternative ferry crossing from mainland Mindanao.
