5.00Amazing experience! From superb views, awesome people, hot springs, to "I survive Batad" we got everything we wanted in the 4 days we spent there. Guest houses were basic but clean, food was simple but 100% organic. Abner, our guide, was professional, knowledgeable, on time and funny, he took care of us during the entire trip. Hike Manila did a very good job in organizing this trip for us.
