Out of the 40 Provinces in the Philippines that I
have ever been to, Batanes is the most beautiful. I've waited for so
many years to go and finally I have decided to book the regular airfare
rate of 15,000Php. This is actually one
of the most expensive ticket’s that I’ve ever spent but it's truly worth every penny.

Food
The food in Batanes is not that good it need more improvement and innovation. The Batanes beef is a must try. The cows here are grass fed that's why their beef tapa and steak is really good. The one restaurant that has caught my taste
buds was Jino’s Pizzaria. They serve good thin cut pizza at an affordable
price.

Internet
The
internet in Batanes is very weak. The Data of Globe and Smart doesn't work
because the satellite was broken during the typhoon in 2016. If you’re
desperate some hotels will charge you 1PHP per MB. If you want to disconnect
for a few days from the world of Social Media, then Batanes will be the perfect place
for you.
Get in
There are 3 Airlines that go to Batanes from Manila which
are Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific and Skyjet. The regular round trip airfare
rate is P15,000. The average promo fare to Batanes is 7,500, but if you are
really lucky you can book as low as P500 during Cebu Pacific’s Piso Fare which
happens once a year. You can also get cheaper tickets to Batanes if you book from Clark Airport or Tuguegarao Airport.
If you have a lot of time and on a budget you can take a bus
from Manila to Batangas and then take a Boat to Batanes from Batangas port but
this will take you up to 5 days to be here.
Transportation In
Batanes
Japanese Bike- You can rent a bike for 25Php an
hour.
Mountain Bike-You
can rent a mountain bike for 50Php an hour. However I don’t advise you to bike
the whole of Batanes since the roads are very narrow and most are just one way.
You might get into an accident if you will bike alone. You have to have the
correct gear.
Tricycle – This is
one the major transportation vehicles in Batanes. You can tour the whole of
Batanes with a tricycle. It’s safe since the driver’s already know the roads and
they can also assist you in touring and taking your pictures.
Van- You can rent
a van in travel agencies to tour around Batanes.
