All tripsBatanes islands
Rolling green hills over the sea, stone houses built against typhoons, and a boat across to the quiet island of Sabtang.
Batanes is the country’s northernmost province, closer to Taiwan than to Manila. Its people, the Ivatan, build low houses of stone and cogon grass that sit out the storms.
Flights to Basco are not included, because fares change so much; we help you find one when you book. If the sea is too rough for the boat on day 3, we swap Sabtang for a walk in the south of Batan and try again the next morning.
We meet you at Basco airport. Lunch, then the hills and lighthouse of Naidi and the boulder beach at Valugan.
The open grassland of Racuh a Payaman, the stone houses of Ivana and Uyugan, and lunch in a family kitchen.
A faluwa boat from Ivana to Sabtang, then the stone villages of Savidug and Chavayan and the sea arch at Nakabuang. Back across in the afternoon.
A morning walk up to the chapel above Basco, then the airport.
Lines join the stops in order; they are not the roads or trails.
