Photo Spot Details
A haven for landscape and travel photographers, Batanes is a group of islands in the northernmost part of the Philippines. More information about its history, people, and topography are available here.
The photos in this entry were taken during a photo tour in 2012. Because of the strong waves and unfavorable weather, we were not able to cross to Sabtang Island. We were only able to go around Batan Island, but it was still awesome. There are many photo spots in Batan Island, including: Naidi Lighthouse, Mahatao Lighthouse, Diura Fishing Village, Valugan Boulder Beach, Chadpidan Boulder Beach, Alapad Rock Formation, etc.
