South Batan Tour

The South Batan Tour is a day-tour covering the towns of Mahatao, Ivana and Uyugan, south of the Island of Batan in Batanes. It includes both natural and man-made attractions of cultural, historical and commercial importance. During the tour, visitors are treated with breathtaking views of rolling hills and rugged coastlines.

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.

Accommodation in Itbayat, Batanes: Cano's Lodge

Being the northernmost municipality of the Philippines and virtually isolated from the mainland of Luzon by the vast Luzon Strait, Itbayat is seldom visited by tourists in the province of Batanes. Homestays and lodging houses are currently the only available accommodation for visitors. During our trip to Itbayat last January 2014, we stayed at Cano's Lodge located right at the town center.

Affordable Accommodation in Basco, Batanes

Where to stay in Batanes is usually one of the major concerns of tourists visiting these northernmost islands of the Philippines since trips to Batanes usually have an average duration of four days. Some even stay for seven to ten days. You don't actually have to spend a fortune on accommodation since there are home stays and lodging houses in Basco available to tourists at very affordable rates.
