Exploring Itbayat and Sabtang | Batanes | Philippines 2016 | Female solo Traveler

This week we explore Itbayat and Sabtang!
Especially Itbayat get's overlooked by many visitors of the Batanes region.
NOTE article is coming up!!!
Both are beautiful islands, with their own charm. What you'll find here will be peace, quiet, nature and beautiful people!
What I saw in Itbayat:
A local Filipino wedding in Raile (if I remember correctly)
Torongan Cave
Torongan Hills
Viewdeck
Rapang Cliff
Paganaman port
Sleeping:
In Itbayat I slept at Miss Cano's place.
What I saw in Sabtang:
I combined the two tours Sabtang has, so to see all of the island.
Savidug village
Chamantad Tinyan viewpoint
Morong Beach
Malakdang Lighthouse
Limestone Arc Formation
I slept at miss Margie's place in Sabtang. A driver just brought me here since many of the other guesthouses were fully booked.
Note that all guesthouses cost 300 pesos - no matter where you sleep!

Music.
Also this time I used many CC music - big thumbs up and love for all the amazing artists!!

[@TravelGretl]

We survived :D The famous rough ride to Itbayat. It's all worth it. The northern most inhabited island of the Philippines is simply BEAUTIFUL! If you go to Batanes and you have time on your hand, it's definitely a must see. Want more travels and behind the scenes material? Please follow on Facebook too!! facebook.com/TravelGretl

[@MadenShow]

Hi everyone my name is MADEN. I miss Philippines. huhuhu

[@alanissabulawan3880]

[@ugmangdamlag7328]

Travel Gretl , Awesome!

[@ugmangdamlag7328]

Travel Gretl I love it!

[@chelseacaballero5891]

Im sabatang where you stay is our lola

[@theGreatDpunisher]

can someone from DOT(dept. of tourism) hire this woman to promote the country..your travel vlogs are great, calm & relax, nice editing with no fancy edm songs, nice to see some local participation, educational, and with your smooth calm voice...hehe

[@TravelGretl]

Hahaha, thank you so much! Love the compliment :D I would actually really love that, but till that happens I'll just be coming back myself to keep on exploring ;)

[@theGreatDpunisher]

your very welcome, hahaha, yeah I've just realized you are travelling all around the globe...you are everywhere!, keep up the good work.....

[@TravelGretl]

Yeah, true 😊😊 but between you and me - the Philippines will be back very soon 😀

[@benchnewbie]

can i go with you? :)

[@TravelGretl]

:)

[@TravelGretl]

KZbin is messing up the thumbnails. So when you see the one where I look utterly bewildered - please forgive me! If all is working fine again, you'll get the thumbnail that was promised ;)

[@HereBeBarr]

KZbin loves to do that, did it to my last vlog to :( I love your filming, that's my biggest weakness. You keep nice steady shots at all times.

[@TravelGretl]

It's also WARP stabilizer going over it and the camera doing some of the stabilisation for me ;) Of course a gorillapod every once and then helps! Yeah, KZbin is aseholly about thumbnails this week! There are many more complains about this behind the scenes...

[@triciasantos5813]

what camera did you use maam? your shots are beautiful

[@TravelGretl]

+tricia santos thank you! A sony rx100 mk4 :)

[@BAdventures]

Great video, you really did explore: jungle, mountains, cliffs and cave. You even caught a wedding. Very peaceful locations, thumbs up =)

[@TravelGretl]

:) Thanx my friend :D

[@ChannelFredo]

The rustic charm of Itbayat and Sabtang is otherworldly.

[@TravelGretl]

+Alfredo Lopez it is 😊😊

[@ConversantTraveller]

I love how you always capture the people as well as the beautiful landscapes in your videos, looks like such a fun place to explore!

[@TravelGretl]

Thank you! It really is :)

[@SamWasHere]

This is probably next on our list of places to visit :) Thanks for showing us around - we'll be watching more videos to get a feel of The Philippines :)

[@TravelGretl]

Oi, cool! you'll find some beautiful nature here 😀 is Itbayat on the list too? 😊

[@SamWasHere]

Yes it is :) We plan to explore as much as possible in 30 days

[@TravelGretl]

+Travel in Twos oi, you'll see a lot! And miss out on much, there's just too much to see and do ;)

[@SamWasHere]

#How long would you recommend visiting for?

[@TravelGretl]

+Travel in Twos pfoeh... the whole Philippines? there are these three Filipino guys who go and see every province in 7 months, and that's crazy already 😉 I can only say something useful about banaue, batanes, palawan and mindoro 😊

[@erinklema1180]

Great video, Gretl! It was fun for me to learn about these two Philippine islands, see the beautiful scenery, including water, cliffs and a cave.

[@TravelGretl]

Thanx!! ☺️☺️☺️

[@MrMusicman1971]

Authentic documentation! Thanks for this, Travel Gretl!

[@TravelGretl]

+Ireno Alcala thanx Ireno 😊

[@randombiketrips3296]

Your interaction with the locals is always awesome, Gretl. Top notch editing and narration as well.

[@TravelGretl]

Thank you so much!! :D

[@reziemart2862]

Been waiting for this, thank you for sharing. Very impressed with your editing very well done.

[@TravelGretl]

Thank you! Great to hear you love the edit :) it's one of the best compliments to get since it takes so, so much time ;)

[@icecrepegg1225]

You're the true definition of a traveler. Amazing! And I really like how you edit your videos 👍

[@TravelGretl]

Thank you so much :D Great to hear you love the edits :) :) And what makes you say I'm a true definition of a traveler? :) Curious!! :D

[@icecrepegg1225]

Well common foreigners always visit mainstream tourist spots and would settle themselves with convenience. But you're always up for an adventure and tries almost everything even though its uncommon and bizarre. You even hang out with the locals and that's totally amazing of you 😊. By the way are you planning on traveling back to the Philippines again? I'm really looking forward to your videos and I enjoy them 💞.

[@TravelGretl]

😊😊😊 thanx so much!!! Was surrounded by friendly local tourists and locals in Batanes - really loved that 😀 I am actually - but don't tell yet 😉 if it isn't working out I don't want to disappoint 😊😊

[@icecrepegg1225]

Travel Gretl hahah okay I'll keep an eye on that :) Happy travelling!!!!

[@TravelGretl]

😊😊

[@allenporin603]

That was awesome! I hope one day, you can visit us again! Thank you for coming... Specially to itbayat where i was born and raised...

[@Anothertraveler]

That looked like such an awesome time! Really enjoyed the video!

[@TravelGretl]

Thank you!!

[@julius6508]

Wow.. I must say that you did an amazing video and very informative article. It is great to see that you as a foreigner find Batanes so beautiful contrary to majority of Filipinos that prefer going in abroad just to get for a short vacation. I hope you should come back here in Philippines and make another video blog.

[@lutgardap.espiritu7099]

Thank u so much. Love to visit Batanes again. Never thought the Philipines has an island that is much like paradise.

[@greatwidetravel]

Such a well done video! I am impressed :) Even better that you got to join in on a local wedding!

[@TravelGretl]

Thank you! Yeah, that was a great moment :)

[@manuelescanan511]

I really like your adventure Gretl! Fun and Amazing🤗🤗🤗

[@johnwest360]

[@TravelGretl]

Thanx so much! Would be amazing, but also would not be looking forward to people starting to be haters then too ;) Love the cool people watching the vids now also - getting so many amazing reactions :D Like yours. Well, keep an eye on the channel somewhere end of this year, you might be surprised ;)

[@user-or7he1ku3n]

Still watching this ❤️ Thanks much for visiting our country! I really love to go to Batanes. The news about the earthquake there was really shattering. 😪

[@TravelGretl]

Yeah! My heart broke a bit from it too 😞😞😞

[@tataperocho8751]

I really really love you’re amazing blog, I am Envy my gosh. Thank you Travel Gret for uploading and sharing this beautiful videos.

[@sunburnttoes447]

Love your vids and music! Corky, heartfelt and natural!

[@TravelGretl]

Cool! Thanx so much :D

[@peterdcar]

hi, i just stumbled on your video travels from palawan, mindoro and batanes. Great job, and i loved watching all of them in just one night. The Philippine islands loves you!

[@TravelGretl]

😊😊😊 cool!!! Thanx for your comment! And love to hear you've been binchwatching 😀😀 Haha, love them back!

[@aidalortortogo2774]

Such an amazing!

[@czy.rus.bon13]

I've been to Batanes twice. But, I took the Itbayat tour during my first vacation. It's true, it's a rough and tough ride to be in that boat going to Itbayat. Plus, u must be a person of balance to be able to hop on their very basic port. It's exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. But above else, the view in Itbayat is gloooorrrioooous! I appreciated the rough travel going there. Worth it!

[@jae5577]

Batanes was such a beautiful place thanks for this video Gretl.

[@jultoel5821]

hi gretl...thank you so much for travelling to my country, i truely appreciate for choosing Philippines as your blog show...We love you...

[@TravelGretl]

Thanx Jul!

[@nox101]

Thanks to youtube and video travelers like you that we get to see how places we've never been to look like. I was from the northern Philippines (province called La Union) and I never knew that Batanes is that beautiful. Hope to see that place when I get to visit the Philippines in the future.

[@TravelGretl]

I haven't heard of La Union before! Yeah, Batanes is real stunning :)

[@geronian17]

I enjoyed watching this. One of the places I dreamt of visiting. . .

[@Travelling_Capsule]

So nice video...in a right place and right time.....

[@Andr3y143]

Have been living in the Philippines for 21 years but never had a chance to visit this beautiful place before i left for abroad. Might go here someday.

[@willardcardona5342]

Breathtaking/Superb shots and blending with nice background music again Gretl, you really explored almost all the islands of Batanes...

[@TravelGretl]

thanx!! just not the ones that are not inhabited ;)

[@willardcardona5342]

That's true, some islands are indeed uninhabited...

[@TravelGretl]

+Willard Cardona which also must be amazing to see! Good reason to come back maybe :)

[@dantevargas7256]

Another great video.! Always amazing..and Everytime you face the camera, it seems we're like ah overwhelmed with excitement as you did... you moved our senses. It seems as though we're also traveling just beside you..

[@TravelGretl]

Thank you so much! I hope you are all traveling with me :) I did not feel alone during this solo travel - so I think you all have ;)

[@mhonferari]

Thanks for the expedition to explore the our country Philippines. It seems to be interesting and remarkable. I am a Filipino and I appreciate it so much.

[@TrueLifeStory123]

So so so so beautiful. Thank you Gretl for theese awesome videos about ur travelings..you make may day every time I watch it ❤ I hope one day I could travel such as you 😍

[@dantevargas7256]

And your excitement and enthusiasm makes us crave to go to places you've been

[@TravelGretl]

:D

[@oliverdorado9084]

A British accent speaking lad promoting our tourism,, thank you very much go on island hopping, we have seven thousand one hundred island and more, when low tide.

[@PinayTuboAngieDan]

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for taking me to places that I have never been before.

[@TravelGretl]

Great you're traveling alone this way 😃

[@remyreyes8399]

Great video showing the good things about the people and the island. Your respect for the local culture speaks volumes about your open mind that other world travelers should take to heart before they venture out. Keep on chugging!

[@TravelGretl]

+Remy Reyes thank you so much for the kind words!! 😊😘

[@jeivi1145]

The songs the you put in your videos are very soothing and appropriate, im a fan already just after watching one of your videos👍🏻☺️

[@TravelGretl]

+jeivi siguenza Cool 😀😀😀 thanx so much 😘😘

[@cherielove9013]

seriously I cry😄 bcause its so beautiful thats why I Love the place for so long yet haven't been there yet. You have a perfect way of narration so natural and candid💕Super Love your work. Nice to have seen it today.

[@TravelGretl]

+Cherie Love thanx so much! And very happy to hear what the video did for you. Loved Batanes, especially Itbayat - and tried to put all love into it 😊😊

[@photoops1]

Perfect videography. Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing

[@TravelGretl]

Thanx very much :)

[@masterjoey193]

Travel Gretl is one of my favorite. Her videos are so clear, she explains everything well, the camera angle, cinematography are just amazing. Just want to fly there the next day. She goes beyond to travel and explore where most Filipinos haven't even been there. Like me hehe... I don't like touristy area too, they ruin nature.

[@TravelGretl]

Thank you!! People can be pretty bad to places and other people, even when they don't have bad intentions and just come as tourists... I always think I'll never be able to fully know what I squash under my feet - but really try to be aware :) Thanx for appreciating the vids, and the shots (yeey, people notice :) - have a good evening!

[@julesp1669]

Wow....another one to my bucket list. Thanks for sharing!

[@TravelGretl]

+Jules P 😁😁😀😀

[@elanrebsky5197]

I've seen all of your more recent videos so I'm watching the previous ones. Your edits are just perfect. The shots are always fascinating. I know you said it takes you two days to edit, and I think that is just fine. You don't need to come up with a video every day. Waiting is a good thing. :)

[@TravelGretl]

Haha, cool! Thank you. Yeah, it does take a lot of time. Thanx for putting it that way :D Sometimes I feel the pressure of editing, but glad that no one really complains but me :)

[@syrinemae1899]

Thank you for featuring the Philippines in your blog...

[@TravelGretl]

More than welcome!!!

[@akien3444]

Awesome: i was looking for some travel videos about Philippines and wow!

[@TravelGretl]

:D Thank you!

[@jayfordante177]

you're so blessed. I wish i can go back there soon. I lived in batanes for almost 3 yrs and I've always wanted to go back.

[@TravelGretl]

You're blessed too, living in an amazing place like that for a while! Want to go back myself too :) Maybe one day, right :D

[@quialmarcial461]

i always love the music you put on your videos..

[@TravelGretl]

+reydante hebunan thanx! Do my best to find good songs 😊😊

[@junzaragoza6465]

[@TravelGretl]

+jun zaragoza Oh, yeah! It's an out of world kind of place 😁😀

[@mrjackbilbo]

Another fantastic video,. Your videos are the best,. Thanks for the uploads and taking us there

[@TravelGretl]

[@rheasuaiso2810]

[@TravelGretl]

thank you 😊😊

[@johnnydrgarcia]

Gretel you just visited my most favorite place in the world! Ive made some acquiantances there and been returning a few times already. Its good to see that you discovered Itbayat! I must say, aside from the grand beauty, the people and the experience is very humbling to the core. Very very personal experience for me that touched my life!

[@TravelGretl]

+Johnny Garcia oh wauw, you've lost a piece of heart there! I can imagine - it's truely an amazing place

[@darlencanta6410]

love this travel guide. I'am actually planning visiting Batanes next month yay!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!! Our budget is limited but i hope i can still have a great time to travel more as we can around the Island for a days.

[@TravelGretl]

+darlen canta so cool!!!! Jealous - would love to be looking forward to that too 😊😊😊

[@x742w4dp]

... your Batanes series my fav among your islands uploads... looks similar to Frodo's village but your experience is real... and... spectacular... thx a mil... be safe and God Bless...

[@TravelGretl]

:D Cool! Yeah, definitely more real than Frodo's town :D very much worth a visit :) Loved this spot!

[@LetsDiscoverON]

Great video! I like the fact that you got some natural 'clips' from local people. Nice to hear from them too.

[@TravelGretl]

Thanx! I don't do sounds from the scene easily cause I hate it when the sound isn't that great - but this one I had to feature 😃😃

[@LetsDiscoverON]

+Travel Gretl Sounded great!

[@TravelGretl]

+Let's Discover ON vlog 😃 in contrast to all the shots on hills where I left the sound out - all so windy ;)

[@TheProcen]

As always Gret, your videos are great with fantastic shots, and very informative to anyone interested of visiting. More Videos, please! :-)

[@TravelGretl]

Thank you! Banaue is coming up :) Working on it!

[@thetaylormadetravels1566]

Philippines are definitely on the bucket list and this video has reminded me it needs higher priority. It just looks so stunning!

[@TravelGretl]

Cool!!

[@nonenone6864]

did you eventually go?

[@chrismartin1539]

Also visited these two islands during my trip my Batanes. I remember stopping by to visit the rolling hills on the way to the village of Chavayan. Had some wonderful photo session there with my companion. I didn't see much of the stone house village in your vlog but I remember going to one village there in Sabtang. All in all, this is again a very good vlog!

[@TravelGretl]

Thanx! It's true, they're only a bit there :) I think that is because I am more a fan of nature and people than of buildings in general ;) haha. Love it you've also been to Itbayat!! That was my personal favorite in Batanes :)

[@ziannatividad3692]

Hi! Thanks for showing this beautiful part of our country especially the hospitality of its people :)

[@TravelGretl]

+Zian Natividad 😊😊

[@moriel01]

Yeeeeey! this is so beautiful, oh my God.. haha.. Your videos make me want to go around the Philippines. I hope I could go to Batanes someday, but there's too many islands to go to.. haha.. Awesome video once again :D

[@TravelGretl]

Haha, the Philippines have way too much to offer! Don't start going around, you'll only have a growing feeling of missing much more than you can see ;)

[@Yehnzs]

i will definitely read your article. thank you!

[@TravelGretl]

😊😊😊

[@bb-bg4nd]

the landscape is absolutely beautiful in those islands I did not realize you are in Philippines. So serene and peaceful , lovely nature. Thank you for sharing the videos.

[@TravelGretl]

It is! I am already back :) shoot on the road and edit back home ;)

[@jamesdimatulac6005]

Helpful! I'll be having my Batanes Trip too this coming August and I'm so excited on what Batanes can give to me. Thank you for this vlog, it helped me boost my morale before getting there!

[@TravelGretl]

Cool, great to hear! If you think about it: let me know what you think about the islands! Curious to hear 😊😊 will you visit Itbayat also?

[@jamesdimatulac6005]

+Travel Gretl Unfortunately, I only have 5 days to explore Batanes. It will be hard for me to include Itbayat to my 5-day trip also knowing that Batanes is prone to typhoons that season. So, maybe Itbayat will not be an option for this time.

[@TravelGretl]

+James Dimatulac ah yeah, it would be too risky and you'll lose too much time 😊 always good to have a reason to go back right?! 😀 enjoy!!

[@maries0l]

I love the songs so much.

[@ervincasiguran]

Nice song selection! ❤️

[@joanajayson8666]

i missed both islands due to the storm..i love your choice of songs!

[@TravelGretl]

Oh no! Unfortunately that's the thing for Batanes, the stormy islands..... Did you enjoy Batan? :)
