So much has been said and so much has been written about it. But the best way to really take in all the superlatives is really just to be there! This is Batanes province!Let's journey through northernmost territory of our archipelago and get intimate with rugged beauty of these islands. We'll discover Basco, the charming seaside capital and explore beautiful Batan Island cruising along her stunning blue ocean-meets-green mountain scenery. Travel over to neighboring Sabtang Island and get acquainted to the unique Ivatan way of life visiting old villages, traditional stone houses, colonial churches and stunning ocean views. And to top it off, your home away from home is the best address on the island - Fundacion Pacita, on top of a hill with gorgeous island views!
The tour fee is PHP28,000 per person inclusive of airfare, transportation around Batanes, accommodation and all meals. We can only accommodate a maximum of 20 people for this tour. For bookings and inquiries, e-mail us at info@ivanhenares.com.

Ivan, are there other tour dates?Or the calendar on the website is pretty much it for the rest of the year?
ReplyDeleteYes, the calendar is pretty much it for the year since we don't want mass runs of the tours which are very specialized
ReplyDeleteKahit dalawa per year? haha. Thanks anyway. I'll look forward to next year then.
ReplyDeleteThere's another Batanes trip in May! :D
ReplyDeleteI will think about this offer...I have been planning to visit this place for the longest time
ReplyDeleteGame na Ate Fely! The best ito! :D
ReplyDeleteIvan, if you have your airfare and accommodations all set can we still join your group for the tour?
ReplyDeleteAirfare yes but own accommodation no. That's because Fundacion Pacita is part of the experience of our tour. And we don't want to add to the logistics by having to pick-up people from other hotels. Several of the meals will be in Fundacion Pacita as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Ivan! your posts are always very helpful. Good thing I've read about your group tour, this will somehow minimize the expenses. My cousin and I have been planning to "invade" Batanes since last year. Hope we'll be able to squeeze in our schedule the May 2009 tour. =)
ReplyDeleteYeah, our tour includes visits to places and experiences not included in the regular Batanes tour. Plus Fundacion Pacita is the best place to stay in the province! Hope you could join us!
ReplyDeleteI came across your site and wanted to share a youtube video of Pacita's Painted Bridge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6P3Pwbk8Yc (available in HD quality). Hope you enjoy it. kristi
