Banaue Rice Terraces Escape: 3 Days, 2 Nights with Transfers

Amazing experience, would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Philippines. The rice terraces were amazing and all the people we met were so friendly and made the trip unforgettable. Special shout out to our driver Miel who drove us from Manila to Banaue and went above and beyond to drive us to all the best spots and make sure we were comfortable the whole time. All the staff at our accomodation in Banaue (Bro Zone) were also very welcoming, and all the tour guides were excellent when showing us around and answering all our questions. Loved the whole experience and will definitely be back in the future 😊

An unforgettable trip with Kenji and Miel, the friendliest and most caring guide and driver there is. The sites offered breathtaking scenery, everything was well organized (transfers, accommodation, local guides,...) leading to a great and hassle-free discovery of Banaue, Batad and Hapao in only 3 days.

The guides assigned to us were great. Do mine took us to Botad and Jimmy took us to Bogyah Hot Springs. We stayed at Japan’ Place at Bro Zone. We arrived early, but were welcomed by the Bustamante Family. We had all of our meals there. Jayson prepared them as requested for a guest with food allergies. The food was great, they made arrangements for a Massage Therapist, helped us deliver and pick up our laundry. If you’re expecting the Ritz, this is not your place. If you want to support the local families, they will welcome you, make sure your comfortable and provide entertainment.

My husband and I did a customized tour of Banaue and Sagada organized by Yolo. Our driver, Pedro, and Yolo guide, Kenji, were attentive to our needs including my husband’s food allergies. Kenji modified our activities to accommodate our request to learn more about the history of these areas by adding visits to museums. Yolo connected us with local guides in Banaue (Jun and Abner), and in Sagada (Rex). The local guides were knowledgeable and made sure we were safe. Yolo also arranged our lodging. The sites we visited were beautiful. Most importantly, we appreciated the hospitality and care we received from the people we met.

An amazing trip to North Luzon with Yolo Travel! We contacted Yolo to arrange a tour of North Luzon’s rice terraces and surrounding area. The remit was broad, only that it was for two people and should be 6/7 days. Paulo at Yolo was amazing. He very quickly proposed an itinerary which covered all the parts we wanted (including some we had never heard of), as well as advising on the best times to visit and what to bring. Our tour covered Banaue and the surrounding areas (Batad, Hapao, Tapiya Falls) before moving on to Sagada (Sumaging and Lumiang Caves, surrounding waterfalls, Blue soil and Hanging Coffins). Yolo arranged all the transport, guides and accommodation, making this a very stress-free trip. We did a private tour for two people, meaning that everything was done at our pace, which was especially appreciated after a few days walking the rice terraces! We had separate guides for Banaue (Abner and Mulin) and Sagada (Rex), all of whom were local and very knowledgeable on the area and local culture and customs, couldn’t recommend them enough. We had amazing time and will definitely be using Yolo again for future trips, thank you!
