Sumnanga, Sabtang (Little Hongkong of Batanes)

The next day, we back-ride in motorcycles to go see the west side of the island. I hate motorcyles and swear never to ride them, but motorcycles are the most efficient mode of transpo going to our destination. No regrets though in riding a motorobike in Sabtang. There are hardly any other vehicles in the road, and the roadside view is spectacular to say the least.

Sumnanga, Sabtang (Little Hongkong)
Sumnanga is a quiet little fishing village westcoast of Sabtang.  Fewers tourists set foot here since the road going here is quite rugged. But like anywhere else in this island, everything is stunningly beautiful; and the people, charming and friendly.

 Vuhus Island
On the west of Sabtang lies Vuhus Island. Our guide says its a perfect place to dive or snorkel as it is home to untouched coral reefs and marine reserves.  I got excited upon hearing this.  Next time I visit Batanes, I will definitely have to set foot on this island.
