Batanes Island offers tourists a total eco-cultural experience. In Batanes, tourists enjoy the best of culture and nature.

Over the past 30 years tourists has slowly been arriving in the island discovering the postcard-perfect landscape that characterizes the whole island. The picturesque Batanes is now being hailed as the next
best year-round destination in the Philippines. With green pastures overlooking the Pacific Ocean, windmills on sprawling countryside and lighthouses guarding immaculate shorelines, Batanes is most often compared to European landscapes like Ireland’s.

Aside from the breathtaking scenery, Batanes is also known for its rich heritage that has been preserved over the years, showcased by stone-walled houses and the humble and simple lifestyle of the Ivatans.

The experience starts in flight, when visitors get first glimpses from the air - a spectacular rhapsody in blue, from the dark turquoise of the Pacific Ocean and South China Sea to the crystal azure of lagoons
lapping golden rings of sand and clumps of coconut palms. As the arriving jet zooms low to find the runway protruding into a lagoon, every one of them appears priceless. Then going down the plane visitors are greeted by a magnificent view of Mt Iraya, a nice and cozy airport, and a kiss from the wind which
would accompany the visitors all throughout the eco-cultural adventure.
