Batanes offers very little in the way of organised tourism — there are no theme parks, no zip lines, and no beach resorts in the usual sense. What it has is extraordinary landscape and a living culture that has barely changed in centuries.
The main activity on Batan Island is walking or riding a scooter along its coastal roads, stopping wherever the view demands it. On the other islands, Sabtang in particular, the stone villages of the Ivatan people are the attraction. Hiring a tricycle or joining a local guide for a day tour is the easiest way to get around.
