Dios Mamajes, Batanes! : 10 Picture Perfect Photos That Will Make You Decide To Visit Batanes This Summer!

Breathtaking is an understatement. I can't think of any word that describes Batanes best  after seeing all God's blessings bestowed in one island.We had fun exploring and capturing your beauty ! How can we forget your dramatic cliffs, rolling hills and green wonderland? That crashing sound of your luscious waves that makes me feel I had a taste of heaven.

Dios Mamajes Batanes for restoring my faith that the Philippines is indeed truly blessed amidst of all the chaos happening in our country.

Dios Mamajes Batanes  for showing me self-reliance. Being in isolation for so long, you were able to stand on your own and were able to  tame the mountains, sun, sea and sky.

Do you want to start planning for the trip? I know you've been wanting to ask me about the budget. Yes?

To answer that, we booked our February flight in October via Philippine Airlines. Our PAL ticket costs 15,637 per pax. I know this is a huge amount, but  there are a lot of ways on how you can save for this trip. :-)

Our Package tour costs 8,500 per pax All - in. Just do the math!
