Here are the 6 places I have personally been to in <\/span>SABTANG ISLAND<\/b><\/span> when I visited Batanes<\/span>:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

SABTANG<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Port of Sabtang<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Sabtang<\/p>\n

The <\/span>Port of Sabtang<\/b><\/span> is the main gateway of the island from Batan Island. This is Sabtang\u2019s biggest port and is adjacent to some key establishments essentially for tourists. This is also the place where you will register and meet your local tour guides.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chamantad-Ti\u00f1an Viewpoint<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Chamantad<\/p>\n

The early part of your Sabtang Island Tour is a visit to the <\/span>Chamantad-Ti\u00f1an Viewpoint<\/b><\/span>. This is the island\u2019s version of the Rolling Hills and it offers a good view of the Luzon Strait. It features several limestone rock formations with a scenic, white-sand cove below. Along the way, I got to see some native <\/span>vuyavuy palms<\/i><\/b> (Philippines\u2019 version of a date palm, only shorter) and this is also the very plant that is used to create the <\/span>vakul<\/i><\/b> (traditional women\u2019s headgear) and the <\/span>kanayi<\/i><\/b> (traditional men\u2019s vest).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"St.<\/p>\n

The <\/span>St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel<\/b><\/span> is one of the popular places of worship in Sabtang Island. It is also located beside a \u2018<\/span>beateria<\/i><\/b>\u2019 \u2013 a house for lay religious women who reside in the place.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sabtang Island Stone Houses<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Sabtang<\/span><\/p>\n

As Batanes is known to be the province to be mostly hit by typhoons passing by the country, Batanes is also known for its stone houses, notably the <\/span>Savidug Stone Houses<\/b><\/span> and <\/span>Chavayan Stone Houses<\/b><\/span> both in Sabtang Island. These houses are made from rocks and corals roofed by meticulously bundled cogon grass, which are made to withstand strong typhoons and winds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

*Unfortunately when I visited, the road leading to Chavayan Village was currently under repair and only locals were allowed to pass through at that time. (<\/span>At least I have something to go back to on my next visit!<\/span><\/i>)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Morong Beach, Mayahao Arch, Nakabuang Cave<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Mayahao<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want some peace and quiet and want to be isolated for a while, <\/span>Morong Beach<\/b><\/span> is one of the places to visit. Located on Sabtang island\u2019s northern part, it features a white sand stretch overlooking Batan Island. You can also see the <\/span>Mayahao Arch<\/b><\/span>, a natural rock arch formed near the beach\u2019s entrance. Along the coastline, you can also see the <\/span>Nakabuang Cave<\/b><\/span>, a hollow cave formed from the drastic waves of the ocean.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sabtang Lighthouse<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Sabtang<\/p>\n

Upon entering the island of Sabtang, you will be greeted by the imposing <\/span>Sabtang Lighthouse<\/b><\/span>. Though this place is now private, it is still a sight to see on the island when you are having lunch at a nearby restaurant.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Where to Eat in Sabtang, Batanes<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Pananayan Canteen and Catering Services<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Pananayan<\/p>\n

Pananayan Canteen and Catering Services<\/b><\/span> is located just below Sabtang Lighthouse and is a good stop when touring around Sabtang Island. This is where I had my lunch when I did a day tour on the island.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sample Itinerary when Visiting Batanes<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
