tour guide is good. places are very beautiful. if you want nature, then this is the place for you. peaceful.
A must book. The itinerary was fit into us not getting so tired but was able to enjoy each place we visited. We didnt have to pay for anything else as they covered everything and all of our lunch was tasty and more than enough. I'd like to give a shout out too to our driver Mang Emong who was nice and friendly and sepcial thanks to Sir Arnel, he was nice, friendly, accomodated to our needs and took great pictures. Once we comeback, will get Chanpan again. Thank you!!!!
I thought the tour would not push through because it’s raining for 2 days since we arrived. Luckily on the third day, it was perfect until our flight back to manila. Batanes was a picturesque. It was so amazing. I would compare it to the hobbit scenic places. Was so satisfied with our tour plus we had the nicest tour guide arnel from chanpan tour. He takes good photos of us. Would highly recommend this to others.
Our tour kind was very nice. We enjoyed the tour and the food included in the package. This tour is recommended.
If you only have 3 or 4 days in Batanes, better take this compressed tour so you’ll have an extra day or two for yourself to go around Batanes on your own. Flights arrive in the morning just before the start of the tour so you can book on the day you arrive. Day 1 9am to 5pm South Batan Tour Day 2 6am to 12pm Sabtang Island Day 2 2pm to 6pm North Batan Tour The tour was great :) very informative and accommodating! Thanks again.
local tour operator is CHANPAN travel as per Itinerary day 1: 9am - 5pm day 2: 6am - 6pm but it was shorter, some destination were skipped. day 1 pick up 10am, drop off 4pm day 2 pick up 6:30, drop off 4:30pm they charge additional 3,000 per day because our hotel is outside basco. which is 25 minutes away from the city. we are located in IVANA where their first site Spanish old bridge was beside out hometel Siayanrock and 4.5 kilometers from last destination white beach that's why we think 1,500 add on is too much for the South Batan Tour because we are already in south batan. we missed the sabtang light house, the famous house in chavayan and specially the fundacion on our 2nd day tour. better do DIY tours or take BISUMI travel if you really want to go via travel operator.
Thank you for choosing Klook and for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced during the tour. We have contacted the local operator regarding this issue. Our specialists will reach out to you and assist with your booking. We appreciate your kind understanding and cooperation. Thank you!
Great tour! with a great and knowledgeable tour guide.
Kudos to ChanPan Tours for the memorable experience! Initially, I was hesitant to book this because of the price but boy was I wrong. This is worth every penny!
The best option for a quick 3 to 5 days Batanes trip. 2 days of all-in compressed tour of the best highlights to experience in this breathtaking Philippine gem. Plus our guide, Arnel Comaya, not only gave us a good tour, but delivered the most beautiful and amazing shots in our phone cameras. Chan Pan Tours is highly-recommended. 👍👍
As first time travelers to the island, the tour package was optimal for to see most of the islands panoramic and pristine scenery at little to no degree of difficulty. The tour guide was very accommodating, from required local regulatory fees to even pointing out key photography opportunities. The prepared lunches were fine and exquisite examples of local cuisine.
