Forget everything, but don't ever forget your camera when visiting Batanes. Although everything that is Batanes is picturesque, you can't go wrong when it comes to these 5 places.
1. Chamantad-Tinian Viewdeck
Run. Scream. Dance. Sing your heart out.
2. Racuh-a-Payaman (Marlboro Country)
Lie down. Dream.
3. Naidi Hills/Rolling Hills
Marvel. Share. Call a love one.
4. Tukon
Pray. Rest. Relax.
5. Chanarian
Be amazed.
6. Sabtang Island
Dream.
Even with a place this lovely, it pays to be prepared. Always have your camera on hand. You do not want to miss a winning shot, while rummaging through your bag. Don't think of the rules. Let the creative juices flow and just keep on clicking. You will never go home empty-handed.
waaah! ang ganda! i particularly loved that little house by the sea in Tukon. Turns out it's a hotel na. really need to plan a trip to batanes soon!
ReplyDeleteyes, that's a hotel. one of the nicest in the island... Go na! Seair usually hold seat sales up to 50% off in February.
ReplyDeleteI love, love this post. Makes me want to go to beautiful Batanes as soon as possible. (Well, maybe not this monsoon season, hehe)
ReplyDeletewow! Batanes! One of my dream destination! Very nice photos and the view is just amazing :D
ReplyDeleteyou'll love it more once you see the place with your own eyes.. the pictures don't do justice to it. promise. :)
ReplyDeleteuntil now, napapa-wow pa rin ako. Batanes is one of the places i've been to that i want to keep coming back to. punta ka na rin!
ReplyDeleteBatanes is really a photographer's paradise! I'm not a photog, I just take pictures, but I want to go to Batanes too. Hopefully Cebu Pac will go there someday. I need a 0 fare so much! haha
ReplyDeleteyou will be amazed at its beauty. sana nga magkaroon na ng kalaban ang seair. pero parang ayoko naman sya maging part ng 0 fare. baka masira at mawala ang magic dahil dadami na pupunta dun. :) selfish?
ReplyDeleteanyway, hope punta ka pa rin kahit mahal ang plane fare. it's really something special. worth it ang mahal pa rin na 50% off. hehehe
Batanes will always remind me of somebody. :) Beautiful photos by the way. :)
ReplyDeletehmmm i wonder who that person is.. :) thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment!
ReplyDeletewow.. i'd love to see batanes. but flights is available via SEAIR only and a travel agent informed me that SEAIR is famous for cancelling flights at the last minute. not good news for someone who lives in other islands..
ReplyDeletethat's a bummer! i guess you'll just have to choose your date wisely and pray hard.
ReplyDeletewe went there on October, but were blessed with sunny weather. although, we thought our flight would be cancelled because it was rainy here in manila. after the one hour delay, the seair crew received confirmation from basco and other provinces it'll be passing through that it was safe to fly. =) i know, not for the faint of heart. hehehe
I can say nothing but wow..grabe ang ganda talaga sa Batanes..nice shots happy sole..you never fail to make every angle of your photos look vivid and beautiful..
ReplyDeletebeautiful from any perspective. batanes it is. thanks for sharing some of the great spots for photogrpahy.
ReplyDeletei like the lie down and sleep idea.
maganda lang talaga ang lugar. but thanks just the same. :)
ReplyDeletevery true! it was actually hard to take a photograph. sa sobrang ganda ng lugar, di mo na alam kung ano kukunan mo. hehehe if that makes sense.
ReplyDeletethe place is very conducive for reflection and most importantly, sleeping. :) thank you for leaving a comment!

ReplyDeletetama ka dyan Claire! every turn is just picturesque ...
ReplyDeletewala akong ibang masabi kundi wow! very picturesque and manghihinayang talaga ako pag di ko bitbit yung camera ko! :D
ReplyDeletenaku! sakali mangyari na naiwan ko camera ko.. di ko alam kung ano gagawin ko. baka pa-rebook nalang ng flight. hahaha di pwede walang camera. waaah!
ReplyDeleteWow. Nakakabilib talaga ang ganda niya! Ganda rin ng sun nung nagpunta kayo woot gusto ko tuloy mag-teleport papunta sa Batanes ngayon LOL :P
