Itinerary & Expenses for Trip to Camiguin-Cagayan De Oro-Bukidnon-Marawi-Iligan-Surigao Del Sur

I carefully planned my trip to Mindanao a few months before my actual trip. Planning ahead helped me save more money and not waste time lingering in one place. Due to Air Asia's flight cancellation of its CDO-Manila route, those plans quickly changed. I ended up staying in Northern Mindanao longer than I wanted to but I did not regret it. There are so many things to see in Mindanao that have yet to be discovered or fully explored. I only managed to scratch the surface of the things to see and do in this region.

Expenses
I traveled to multiple provinces during my ten day trip to Northern Mindanao. I used Cagayan de Oro as my base to get to these provinces, since CDO is right in the middle of most of them aside from Surigao del Sur. I landed in CDO then departed back to Manila via Davao City since it's closer to Surigao del Sur. Here is the breakdown of the expenses per province.

Itinerary 
I decided to head to all of these provinces in one trip because of their close proximity to each other. You can split these provinces into different trips to suit your schedule and budget. CDO, Camiguin, Bukidnon, and Marawi are close to each other. You can easily get to these provinces if you land in CDO. You can do a CDO-Bukidnon-Camiguin trip for a 4 day and 3 nights trip, or interchange the above mentioned provinces with each other. The farthest province from these is Surigao del Sur. I included Surigao del Sur because my flight back to Manila was re-routed to Davao. Since Surigao del Sur was on the way, I decided to include it in my trip. There was so much more to see in each province, I wouldn't mind making a come back if time and budget allows it.
