What to expect

Planning a trip to Batanes? Join this culturally immersive 2 day tour around two of its main islands! Kick off your holiday with a ride to the southern parts of Batan Island, where the winding roads lead to three major towns: Ivana, Mahatao, and Uyugan. Be surprised by each town's set of prided attractions - sights that go from cliffside viewpoints and vast grasslands, to ancient ruins and local must-sees. On your second day, cross the raging waters of the Pacific Ocean to Sabtang Island's white sand coastline. Enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the province and the unhurried attitude of the locals as you visit the traditional houses of Sinakan and Savidug. Enjoy your itinerary's scenic route and get to stop by emerald hills, pristine beaches, and historic sites. Hop on a boat back to Batan Island after lunch and find yourself in North Batan. Visit ruins of Catholic churches and more of Batanes' iconic plains and mountain ranges. Extend your sightseeing trip with a tour of Basco's town proper. End the day with a gorgeous view of the sunset at Basco Lighthouse.

Review for: 2 Day Join In Tour with Lunch

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!!!!

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.

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.

We really had a great time in Batanes with the help of our tour guides, Michael of Chanpan Tours and Kuya Romy for Sabtang Island. They are very professional, polite and fun to be with. Our 2 days tour with the third day as our free day (we went to spring of youth with the help of Michael) are worth it. Batanes is indeed BREATHTAKING! Surely, we will be back ❤️

If you are on a tight schedule, you should definitely take this tour and it would still cover all the must see places. We all had a great time in this tour. They even gave us a free bottled water. Lunch is also very delicious 😋
