โผ๏ธ TIPS & GUIDE
๐ต Prioritize safety, kung hindi kaya ng senior much better mag stay na lang sa van, maganda pa din naman ang 360 view.
๐ถ Not advisable for seniors mag Sabtang dahil na rin sa sasakyang bangka.
๐ Having a tour guide is required for exploring the province, particularly on the other islands.
๐จ Weather in Batanes is unpredictable. So plan the best dates accordingly. Best months to visit is from December to May.
โ๏ธ Drones are prohibited however, pwede mag rent sa tour operators or ask for DENR permit.
๐ Tours normally are half day so there are no worries when it comes to resting. Our North Batan actually started around 01:30 PM. Our South Batad started at 8:00 AM and ended around 02:00 PM. 4-Days seem fast pero ang laidback ng lugar na parang ang tagal tagal mo nag stay.
