About this experience

Camel Riding in Sunken Cemetery is a guided camel ride around the submerged cross monument in Camiguin's volcanic bay. Riders mount a trained camel and traverse the shallow shoreline where the old cemetery lies beneath clear water. The activity offers a distinct view of the cross and the surrounding sea from a higher vantage point.

What to expect

Ride lasts approximately 15-20 minutes, with the camel walking along the water's edge and pausing near the cross for photo opportunities.
A handler leads the camel at all times and assists with mounting and dismounting, suitable for first-time riders and children over 5 years old.
The route passes the white cross marker that stands above the sunken cemetery, with the old tombstones visible below the surface on clear days.
The activity includes a safety briefing and a short orientation on camel behaviour before the ride begins.
Riders stay on the beach and shallow water, so no swimming or wetsuit is required; footwear that can get wet is advised.
The ride operates daily from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with shorter queues in the early morning.
