A lot of people want to go to Batanes because of the magnificent views, food, culture, and people. I was surprised the most of what they are saying is really true. First that i noticed in this place is the people. They just greet you and smile at you even if you dont know them. Our tour guide Sir Renz told us that in batanes if you did not greet them back they will think that you are arrogant or boastful. So expect all the people will greet you, say hi and hello. Second the food, i really love seafoods and as expected we are served with so many seafood dishes and i really had a hard time eating it all ahaha. The fish, all the shell fish, they all tastes good. And last the view, while at the tour, the are also other tourist visiting the spot and i taking photos with the beautiful scenery. The place on every part of the island is so majestic that you really want to stay longer. Of course, i am definitely going back in this place. #beaches

#summervacation The pristine beauty of Batanes can be seen on its lovely beaches.  Morong Beach's waves are milder than those seen on other Batanes beaches, making it safer for tourists to swim.  It has pure white sand that rivals Boracay's.  It's also far more equitable than the other beaches in the province. #summervacation#beachvacation

#philippinestrip Nestled in the northernmost part of the Philippines, Batanes is a tranquil haven known for its breathtaking landscapes, unique culture, and serene charm. Often called the “Home of the Winds” due to its strong breezes, Batanes offers visitors a chance to reconnect with nature and immerse themselves in the simplicity of island life. The province’s rolling green hills are among its most iconic features. Places like Marlboro Hills and Vayang Rolling Hills provide panoramic views of the azure seas, rugged cliffs, and lush meadows, making them ideal spots for nature lovers and photographers. The sight of grazing cows and endless blue skies adds to the postcard-perfect scenery. History enthusiasts will find plenty to explore, including the Basco Lighthouse and Tukon Church, which showcase Batanes' rustic charm. The traditional stone houses in Sabtang Island are a testament to the resilience of the Ivatan people, designed to withstand the harsh weather of the region. These villages offer a glimpse into the unique architecture and way of life that have been preserved over centuries. For beachgoers, Batanes offers pristine shores like Valugan Boulder Beach, known for its smooth, volcanic boulders, and Chamantad-Tinyan Viewpoint, where you can marvel at the dramatic meeting of land and sea. The locals, known as Ivatans, are famed for their warmth and hospitality. Their simple yet hearty cuisine, featuring local specialties like ube rolls and freshly caught seafood, provides a delightful taste of Batanes' culinary heritage. Batanes is more than just a destination; it’s an experience of peace, beauty, and culture. Whether you're gazing at its rolling hills, exploring historic sites, or enjoying the warmth of its people, Batanes leaves a lasting impression of untouched paradise.

Pilipinas Pasaporte 🌎 Pahina 12-13 Valugan Boulder Beach San Joaquin, Basco, Batanes, Philippines Exploring Basco by bike is the most challenging and best adventure yet in all my travels. Cycling to traverse some of the beautiful spots of North Batan especially my favorite place to be – Valugan Bay, is really exhausting but the view is stunning and truly, breathtaking Batanes 🖤 #centravels #wheninbasco #batanes #philippines #flypal #cebtravels #mysmilesnap
