This tour will show you Batanes robust landscape, steep cliffs and rolling grasslands. Witness communities full of intact stone houses (as old as 1887) and their unique traditional cogon rooftops, bestowing you with a feeling of timelessness. Of the 11 cool and windy islands comprising the Batanes group, only three are inhabited: Batan, Sabtang and Itbayat. The island “Sabtang” is probably one of the most known preserved sites of Batanes and testimony to the surviving Ivatan culture with their typical headwear “suots”. |

| Reminder: Batanes is located in the northernmost region of Luzon, where lodgings are simple and rustic. Hardly any modern transportation exist, thus a jeepney will be used for the tour. Travelers may experience minor inconvenience such as lack of hot / cold shower, aircon, transfer, modern restaurant facilities, etc. But we tried our best to showcase all the major highlights of the province with the tour coordinator making the food, coordinating transfers and accommodation in advance in order to maximize the tourist’s time in the island. |
