  • Dios Mamajes Batanes

    Pilipinas like you've never seen before! Batanes will give you a surreal vibe of how this country is blessed with such natural beauty. A must visit!

    Travelling to this gem may cost you a fortune as there are currently limited airlines (Philippine Airlines or SkyJet Airlines) that offers flight to this town.

    TIP: Plan your trip months ahead and be on a look out for seat sales to cut down your expenses.. OR if you are already in the northern part of Luzon, you may opt to travel from Tuguegarao via a smaller aircraft or boat. (NorthSky Air)

  • Batan Island In Batanes

    Batanes. The Land of High Winds, the Island of Stones, and the Ireland of the Philippines – a few of many aliases not only depicting its surreal beauty, but also the lifestyle and culture of the Ivatan people.

It is comprised of three primary islands namely Batan, Sabtang, and Itbayat. Moreover, it is the only municipality in the Philippines declared to be a protected landscape and seascape as a whole � ...

  • Batanes Tour On An ATV Driving Around Batan Island

    Batanes is on every Filipino's travel bucket list, and the pictures on the internet alone reveal why.

    Batanes Island's incredible sights comprise the perfect elements of a wanderlust-inspiring postcard – or a social media post, as is in these modern times.

    The island is abundant with views of a lighthouse perched on rolling hills and looking over rough seas, evoking scenery similar to those in other countries such as Switzerland.

  • Batanes The Crown Jewel Of The North

    Batanes is a haven for nature lovers, laid back travellers and architecture junkies! And out of the millions of Filipinos who loves to travel, there are just a few people blessed to be able to get to the tip of the Philippines, the crown jewel of the north, Batanes. And I was one of those lucky enough to be given a chance to be able to see the beauty of this province.

    Batanes has always been in the top of my domestic bucket list destinations. This desire to see Batanes started when I watched the movie of Coco Martin and Tony Gonzaga, You're My Boss, where Batanes was one of the settings. Un ...

  • Batanes Places To Visit In South Batan

    The larger part of the Batan Tour is South Batan. It was my third day in Batanes, I didn't rent a mountain bike this time but instead, I joined the same group that I was with on my Sabtang tour. Unlike its northern counterpart, some of the sites in this region are distant from each other. Most of the roads leading to the landmarks are along the coast; I was already in for a treat with the beauteous view of the hills, cliffs, blue skies and the big blue Pacific Ocean and South China Sea even before we get to our journey's end. They say that if you have been enthralled by North Batan wait until ...

  • The Beautiful Racuh a Payaman And Other Cool Places To See In The South Batan Tour

    Hi, folks! It's August! Can you believe it? Time is flying by so fast, and I still got loads of travel posts to upload.

    But for today, I'm posting some of the photos of our South Batan Tour, particularly in Racuh a Payaman – or what is dubbed as the "Marlboro Hills" of Batanes.

    Similar to the Vayang Rolling Hills in the north of Batan, Racuh a Payaman is also a grazing or pasture land. But it's wider, bigger, and with more beautiful views, with Mt. Iraya in the background.

    When we went there, we could literally hear other tourists singing "The Hills are Alive with the sound of musi ...
