Daym! Ang mahal ng Ultimate Batanes Tour! Don’t worry, Anton. I’ll just save up more and then you’ll see me there in Batanes in one of your tours!
Yeah, the Seair flight is already P14,000 and then Fundacion Pacita Rooms
are already P5,000+ per night and as high as P9,000+ per night multiply by 3
nights.
But I can assure you this is the best experience that you will have about
Batanes…ever 🙂

Hi Anton!
I was just wondering why your pics are so clear and colorful. What type and model of camera are you using?
Btw, do you have trips to Coron Island, Palawan as well in early 2010?
Photos are taken using Canon 20d 🙂 Yes I’m launching the Coron tours soon
🙂
No, it is close to impossible in riding the hot air balloon during the
festival. very limited and it cost P6,500…
Hi Anton!
I’m just interested how soon will you launch your Coron tours? I’m pretty well excited.
Thanks!
