Maps of Batanes Islands
Batan Island Map
Just a quick note, this site will be in auto mode for the next two weeks. For the mean time please enjoy these maps of Batanes Islands. I noticed that when searching for Batanes Maps, there wasn’t much information on the internet or even printed books or guides. So the idea suddenly struck me to create a visual, photographic landmark map of each of the Batanes Islands. I love Batanes so much I hope I can fill in some gaps in the future. Especially Itbayat.

Each maps are still a work in progress and if you find anything that needs to be corrected somehow or additional info, feel free to drop in a line or two. Large resolution versions can be downloaded when you click each of the images shown.
Itbayat Island Map
I had fun creating these maps. Most graphics and all photos are my property so please refrain from selling or using them for commercial purposes if ever without permission. I made this as a reference for those who would want to explore Batanes. It’s a lot helpful when you know visually where you are going.

I’ve been wanting to go to Batanes since I saw the trailer for Batanes; The Movie. The island was so beautiful; the place where it was filmed. Thanks for sharing w/us the map. It’d be of good help when I am going there next time.

I am told that in Batanes, all doors and windows point to the south
The most typhoon visited place in the Phils and where you can find coconut eating crabs.. kind of a mystical place for me 
… and to think that it is not that far from Taiwan

ang gandaaaa! sarap mag-reminisce!
the one labelled “itbayat port” is called Chinapoliran Port daw, according to our guide. As in he made it a point of correcting pa it in my Multiply post because I thought it was the Paganaman

Hey Ferdz, I dig the maps! And I hope you’re cool with me creating a KML mash-up of the maps.
See my blog post about it.

Grabeh. I’m drooling over Batanes. =)
June 10th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
ang galing nito Ferdz! tama ka, ang laking tulong nito sa mga gustong mag-travel sa Batanes (gaya ko). pwede ba akong humingi ng kopya (kahit may charge okay lang). magagamit ko ‘to para sa trip ko. Ngapala, tuloy na ko sa Mt. Kinabalu, oha. na-inggit ako sa mga photos mo eh. sana marating ko din ang tuktok nang hindi inaatake ng rayuma, hahaha!

Your map of Batanes Islands is so informative and professionaly done. Can I request if possible
if you can e-mail me a printable copy of the 3 maps. I need copies for my Travel office here in
los Angeles and for my future office in Basco. I am in the process of putting up backpacking tours
of the Islands, featuring the unbeatten trails-trails you may not heard of yet. By the way, Iam an Ivatan,
and a native of Basco.I owe u this. If you happen to return there in the near future, I will lend you
my Van for a day free or my Fishing Boat for Sports fishing for a day. Hoping to meet you there.
If you need further info please E-mail me at wtsintl@yahoo.com.
Thanks and regards,

Hi. I didn’t get your name, but thank you so much for the maps. Just came from the bookstore and sadly they don’t have a substantial information on Batanes. I am going to Batanes soon with my daughter and her boy friend but wanted so much to read more about that part of our islands. Is there a book you can recommend? Can I download your maps? God bless.
