[projectgora]

^Hello Sis! If I remember correctly, boats going to Sabtang is scheduled between 6 am - 7 am and going back to Basco is from 1 pm - 2 pm.

Going there this week! Super excited! Sana maaraw 

[lizzietseng]

Has anyone here tried biking in Batanes?  If yes, would you recommend a novice bikers to bike there?  If yes again, which part in Batanes would you recommend that are not too steeped?  TIA mga sis for your answers

^Basco is a hilly town that requires some serious pedal strength. If you are like me, who can’t even climb the MMDA footbridge without having tachycardia, then you can bike around town and up to Naidi Hills (Basco Lighthouse).

Hi sis Lizzie,

we biked there going to boulder beach at 4am!
Yes! most part is uphill. I suggest you rent a mountain bike instead of the usual BMX?? type of bike. because it is really difficult and your legs will surely hurt (I carried mine, which is not a mountain bike).
But the experience is really awesome. Just imagine- fresh air, nice view, almost empty road and very peaceful

Thanks sis traxxex21 for your reply.  We'll surely rent mountain bikes over regular bikes there.  Did you have a guide there biking with you or did you just manage on your own? 

[traxxex21]

Yes Sis, we have our guide. kasi sa boulder beach kami. but you can bike around naman kasi d ka naman maliligaw kasi isa lang yung main road dun

[lizzietseng]

Thanks for your reply sis!

I love Batanes! Ang itim ko na pag-uwi! 

I'd recommend Kuya Lito as tour guide. Alagang-alaga kami sa kanya. Si Kuya Dale di na pwede magtour.

Pinaka nagustuhan ko yung rolling hills at marlboro country! New Zealand ang feels

Girls, how's skyjet? Ok na ba sila? I've read negative feedbacks kasi. TIA!

[Shiecg]

ang dami promo ng skyjet for Batanes 88 pesos lang base fare, may mga kilala ako nakapag booked sila 500 RT

[brandi]

Kakalog kalog daw kasi ang planes ng skyjet dahil sa kalumaan kaya i need feedback. Thanks!

[_pink12_]

^^^sis brandi, naku, dami negative feedback. Tsaka minsan they are selling tickets kahit wala pa silang plane. This happened nung nga overshoot yung plane nila and yet they are still offering promo fares to Batanes.

[brandi]

^ ganoon ba sis? Sige hindi ko na lang panghihinayangan yung 4k na matitipid sana sa PAL na lang ako kukuha. Thank u sis!

[lyrahs]

Batanes naman ang next stop namin ni bf. Sana makatyempo din ako ng seat sale.

[mindiegirl]

Nag seat sale pala skyjet to batanes recently. Less than 1.2k lang airfare. too bad I missed it. Next time nalang, parang pang alone trip ang batanes or pang honeymoon eh..Tee hee!

[kookai88]

kahapon nag start ang travel mart sept 4 to 6. nabooked ko lang going basco is one way for 310. mahal na kasi yung pabalik sa manila. maghintay na lang ulit ako ng promo sale. nakakainggit yung iba dun na maagang nagpunta. nakapag booked sila ng roundtrip for only 200.

[projectgora]

^ wow sis grabe sobrang mura naman nyan!

[kookai88]

oo nga sis, sobrang mura kaya nga ang bilis din naubos ng sale nila. sabi sa feb 2016 meron ulit sale. kaya itry ko ulit baka makakuha nako ng pabalik manila hehe.
