Tour ** For a tricycle tour around North and South Batan, you may contact Kuya Lito (+63 918 216 740). He's very nice and caring AND he takes good pictures (may video pa!) He knows how to operate SLRs, Action Cams and Smartphones (of course).

** For a (local) tricycle tour around Sabtang, you may contact Kuya Jun (+63 909 877 0155 - smart / +63 915 664 9519 - globe). Super bait! I was supposed to eat at a canteen in Sabtang, pero since fiesta nung pumunta ko, I asked him if pwedeng i-skip yung canteen at maki-fiesta. He took me to his house and wow! May malalaking lobsters! (Nakatipid ako ng bonggang bongga sa food sa kanya, feeling ko) also, there are places na hindi naman kasama sa tour pero hihintuan at sasadyain niya for you. Dios mamajes Kuya Jun!

Sabtang Tour - Morong Beach - Malakdang Lighthouse - Brgy. Savidug - Chamantad Viewpoint - Brgy. Chavayan

Total: 12,544 PHP ALL IN. WHAT TO BRING: - Powerbank - Toiletries - Camera - Swimwear - Sun Block (lots of it!) - Water Bottle - Pocket money
- Personal Medication NOTES: - Do not forget your water bottles. During tours wala masyadong bilihan especially sa south. Kung meron man, walang water puro softdrinks and juice. - To save on lunch, you can tell your guide na ayaw mo magpa-reserve ng lunch (ang reserved lunch kasi 300 PHP agad, malaki yung serving, pang 2 pax actually. Pero if you're going solo, believe me, di mo sya mauubos. Matakaw na ko pero sumuko ako.) - You can have your Batanes shirts personalized if bibili ka sa Bisumi Souvenir Shop sa Basco. But wait there's more! 20 PHP lang ang pag-customize per shirt, for 200 PHP meron ka nang cotton-personalized-batanes-shirt, pwede rin sya sa dry-fit and yung ibang shirts nila dun. - Merong masarap na BBQ malapit sa BeeHan, di ko maalala yung exact address pero siya yung pinaka-malapit na nagtitinda ng BBQ sa BeeHan. Nasa street sya sa likod ng BeeHan. Mura! 10 PHP may ulam ka na. - Kung magaling ka sa timing, you can get your airfare for as low as 2K RT! Yung ibang kasabay ko, magagaling at matiyaga!
