DIY Guide:4D/3N Batanes for less than P25,000




 






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. 


 TOP 4 Places to Visit in Batanes
1.       South Batan
2.       North Batan
3.       Sabtang Island
4.    Itbayat Island

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.

 Batanes Seaside Annex

Fundacion Pacita
This place is just amazing a bit pricey but worth it. The hotel only has 12 rooms with each having its own veranda where you can have the best view of Batanes. This is the perfect place to relax and unwind from your busy schedule.   If you don’t have extra cash, then you can have breakfast here for just 520Php per person.
Rates: 20,000 Php per Room per Night


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.
