V. Tips
- You may share tricycle tour expense, rent is good for 3pax for all tours
- Bring tumbler that you may refill from your accommodation to lessen your expenses and
unnecessary stopovers.
- Dont be too Kuripot. Ivatans main source of income is tourism so think of your spending as a help
to the locals
- Stay overnight in Sabtang, you will appreciate it more since you can go visit the towns less travelled.
- Learn basic Ivatan so that you may interact with locals more.
- On your flight going back to Manila, go to the airport at least 2 hours earlier, long line awaits
especially during peak season
