Batanes Tour Packages

rugged coastline of Batan Island

The most convenient way to explore Batanes is by joining organized tour groups which already includes transportation, a set lunch, a tour guide and applicable entrance fees. What we like the most about group tours is the opportunity to meet other travelers. We enjoy sharing travel stories with them, and at the same time, we learn from their travel experiences.
