[j.adore]

Hevn, thanks for sharing! So may pagasa naman pala not just gettingmarried to an Ivatan haha!

Sige note ko yan mga reco mo. Takot kami magutom at tamad kami magluto lalo na kung vacation hehe.

happynlove, via AirSwift ka? Wakay package din? Ok naman smooth sailing lahat?

[happynlove]

Sis yes Airswift via wakay. So far ok naman lahat. First domestic flight ko to and first time magtravel agency. Okay sa terminal nila, may pabreakfast pa. I was kinda lost lang pagdating sa airport in basco kasi hindi ko alam pano kukunin yung checked in bag ko 😅 Then hindi ko alam kung saan yung naghihintay sakin, hindi ko kagad nakita yung may hawak ng name ko. Pero after non ok lang naman. Wala nga lang kaming hawak na itinerary so hindi namin alam mangyayari during our stay.basta each day tinatanong lang namin yung tour guide kung saan kami the next day. Si tour guide na din yung nagbibilin sa inn namin kung anong oras yung breakfast kailangan i-prep depende kung anong oras plan umalis kinabukasan.

[j.adore]

Thanks
Oo curious nga ako sa terminal nila kasi sabi private daw. Sanay ako dun sa mga malalaki haha!
Nagbigay na sila nung itinerary sa package proposal. Normally ba dapat meron ka hawak? In other tours, wala din kami hawak hehe si tour guide talaga bahala.

San pala kayo nagstay? Haha I wanna know more gumagawa ka ba ng travel blog

[happynlove]

I mean yung itinerary na kung saan kami ng day 1, day 2 pati yung time, wala. Ganon ba talaga yun?haha oo private terminal pero yung plane nila sa naia terminal 4 nakapark so dun din kayo ihahatid ng bus. & yung terminal location may papasukan kang maliit na daan tapos hindi kita yung sign masyado kaya lumagpas pa kami nung hinatid ako ng madaling araw.hindi rin reliable yung tinuturong location ng Uber so kung maggrab or uber kayo ipakita nyo nalang yung map sa driver.
Hindi ako nagbblog sis eh 😄 Ang dami ko din binasang blog bago ko nagtravel haha

[j.adore]

Yes hehe maybe part of the excitement element din ng tour.

Ah ganon ba? Yan din sabi ko sa Wakay bigyan ako ng map kasi di talaga namin alam san.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your feedback sis

Have you guys seen this http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/567559/lifestyle/travel/senate-approves-bill-declaring-batanes-a-cultural-and-ecotourism-zone

Does it have impact to the local regulations?

Hi sis, wala naman. Ibig sabihin lang it will be well protected and supported by the government para ma maintain ang environment. It will also be promoted more for tourists. Downside baka mas mahirap na pumunta and baka mas magmahal tickets

[m_lim]

mga sis, ano anong airlines ba merong direct from manila?

maulan ba ang July?

[j.adore]

I see. Ganun ba? I was assuming lower fares kasi nga tourism promotion

[mariz11]

^^Airlines that offer direct flights to Batanes are PAL and Skyjet. Nakalimutan ko lang kung ano yung bagong airline na nag-o-operate dun. Sa Wakay yata sila conencted but I'm not really sure. Summer ang March(though mejo windy pa ng kaunti) to August. Super init yata during July. Pa-backread na lang for more info

[Hevn]

Honestly, pasakit mag back read lol Lalo na kung ilang pages na yung thread.

To answer the question, July to October is unpredictable in Batanes but that doesn't mean it's not okay to travel during those months. Just check advance forecasts. And usually, dumadaan lang ang ulan kasi malakas ang hangin dun. We went there August the first time and although napa stop kami during the tour because of several heavy rains on our first day, we were able to finish the tour naman. Masarap rin ma stuck sa ulan sa ibang places like Valugan Boulder Beach

Wakay Air is the other direct flight and they use Air Swift. No online booking yet but you can email them. They operate in a private airline so no terminal fees.

Id like to share my solo travel to batanes last May 10-15. I can describe batanes as really breathtaking and really amazing place. it really helped me alot and grabe I will surely be back. no amount of words to describe pero I had my version of eat, pray and love (thy self) nga lang. grabe the best! and of course, the best birthday celeb yet.

[happynlove]

I definitely agree sis najine! there are no words to describe the beauty. birthday celeb mo pala yun
I really want to go back din kaya lang I might skip Sabtang. haha nahilo ko ng bongga, but it's the best island for me.

[brendaumnas]

Naghoneymoon kami sa batanes last june 7-13. Ang ganda! Umulan the 1st few days, so staycation lang talaga kami sa Fundacion pacita. ang sarap ng food and ang bait ng staff! We got Kuya Toto as our driver/photographer. Super sulit and ang bait nya. Half lang ang rte nya as compared sa mga agencies.
