To ensure a hassle-free experience, this tour already comes with the assistance of a DOT-accredited guide, environmental and registration fees, and pick-up and drop-off from your accommodations in Batanes.
You will be picked up from your Batanes accommodation at 12 PM. After being picked up, you’ll kick off your tour with a welcome lunch. Once you’ve had your fill, you’ll head to Tukon Chapel in Basco. Also known as Mt. Carmel Chapel, the structure is made of stone and was designed with Ivatan stone houses as an inspiration. Its unique look, coupled with its location atop a hill, make it a favorite location for Batanes weddings.
Next, you’ll head to the PAGASA Tukon Radar Station.

But the best part about this station is its 360-degree view of Batan Island.
You’ll then head to the Japanese Tunnel that Japanese soldiers used as shelter during World War II. After that, you’ll visit Valugan Boulder Beach.

Domingo Church and Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Cathedral, it is the first church built in Batanes.
Your next stop is Basco Lighthouse, a picturesque six-story structure on top of Naidi Hill. On the fifth floor is a viewing deck that can give you beautiful views of the island of Batan. You’ll then head to your last stop, the Vayang Rolling Hills. The hills will not only give you breathtaking views of its verdant slopes but also of the waters surrounding Batan Island.
