Ilocos Tour Complete Itinerary and Expense

 
Recently, I’ve been receiving some questions from my facebook friends about our Ilocos trip. I got questions like, where to go or what to do in Vigan City, Whats in Laoag? How was Pagudpud? Where did you stay and how much did your trip cost you? Questions that are commonly answered by searching the web though it’s better answered by someone you know and trust.
The other day a friend asked me if I was able to keep my Ilocos tour Itinerary and if she could borrow it for their planned holy week and summer vacation. I said yes and also decided to share it to everybody. I haven’t posted an itinerary ever; the reason is because I don’t think I am good in doing one. Also, our travels are quite long – like this trip which was a 6 nights-7 day’s trip.


Anyhow, I am sharing this week long Ilocos tour – a mixture of guided and DIY tour. You can break it down by city if you wish since the per-city tour only took a day which you can (technically speaking) finish the entire trip within 3 days and 2 nights. Remaining days of our trip was spent for relaxation which is one of our top most goals why we travel.

TOTAL Expense per pax 8,195.00

 
Php 8,195.00 though it may sounds great for 7 days-6 night’s tour which includes airfares, tour fees and foods; this expense doesn’t include personal expenses like the souvenirs, extra foods and tips. For cheaper options, I would suggest that you go in a large group. Travelling in a smaller group could still be cheaper and less expensive if you are going to do a DIY itinerary that usually requires a lot more time because some destinations are quite far from each other. Commuting will take quite of your time, which you might end up missing some spots that you want to visit.
Hope that this detailed itinerary helps you lighten your planningJ.

    hello there! Is it possible to have a Vigan-Pagudpod Tour for 1 day? I mean lahat ng nakalist on Day 3 and Day 5 all in 1 day, kahit lesser time nalang on each place, we will be coming from pagudpod so yung van's route is Pagudpod-Vigan-Pagudpod. If yes, can you help me figure out the itinerary for that day? Thanks for your help!

      Hindi ko iniencourage and 1 day kasi kunting delay lang masisira na yung buong itinerary sa sobrang gipit sa oras, pero ito yung posibility...

      Start the tour in pagudpud at 6am - 10:30 (mga nasa 15 minutes per destination lang stop nyan. Start from North Pagudpud then south - Expert dapat si tour guide about routing :)

      Maira Ira Cove - Blue Lagoon (20.00 Peso entrance fee)
      TIMMANTANG ROCK
      BANTAY ABOT
      PARAISO NI ANTON
      AGUA GRANDE
      PATPAT VIA DUCT
      CAPE BOJEADOR LIGHTHOUSE - Burgos, Ilocos Norte
      KAPURPURAWAN ROCK FORMATION BURGOS
      BANGUI WINDMILLS (BANGUI)


      Then Pagudpud to Vigan 11:00AM - 3:00PM (super smooth dapat ang travel para maachieve to - sa van nalang din yung lunch para hindi sayang ang oras kasi you might be tempted to shop sa Heritage Village so advantage if you could maximize the time)

      Vigan tour: (3:30PM - 6:00PM)

      Bantay Church and Bell Tower
      Baluarte ni Chavit
      Paburnayan Vigan Pottery and Jar Making
      Hidden Garden
      Rowilda's Loom Weaving
      Heritage Village

    Hello po! We're from Pampanga. Balak naming magdrive papuntang Ilocos this month. 13 kami lahat. We're planning na wag nang kumuha ng tour guide para makatipid. Nagreresearch na lang ako para malaman ano magandang puntahan. We'll we be able to enjoy kahit walang tour guide? Also, dun sa comment mo na 20 php entrance fee sa Maira Ira Cove - Blue Lagoon, mapupuntahan na lahat ng lugar na nakaenumerate with just 20 php? Like ung:
    TIMMANTANG ROCK

      Hello  andami nyo, I bet masayang joyride yan! Kung iniisip mo kung mag eenjoy kayo, masasabi ko is depende, kasi kung close kayo at pareparehas kayo ng trip mag eenjoy talaga kayo with or without a tour guide. Kung tinutukoy mo naman is kung maeenjoy nyo kaya yung destination. I would also have to say na dedpende sa trip nyo kasi kami medyo bet naming yung informative na trip. Mahirap kasing mag appreciate ng mga bagay bagay kung hindi mo alam kung ano yung mga what abouts nito bakit sya dinadayo gaya ng Sta Monica Church. Pero may mga spots naman na hindi kailangan ng tour guide meron din iba na may sarili silang guide gaya ng Juan Luna Shrine.

      Yung sa Blue Lagoon naman yung spots sa loob nito is yung dos hermanos lang. The rest madadaanan nyo on your way bago pa mag blue lagoon – pero nothing to worry kasi halos lahat naman walang entrance fee (yung kapurpurawan may fee din ata 20 sa naalala ko). Hope that will help :) happy trip!

      Yes it is cheaper but that is if you travel with a group of at least 10. What I like about this tour by Christeen is they were able to get a low fare airfares and also they spread out the tour in 7 days which makes it less hectic than the usual 3D/2N trip. However using van for traveling is more comfortable especially going in between towns. And of course, it is cheaper with a group of 10 or more. Riding a trike is a great alternative nevertheless.

    Hi, We are a group of 4 foreigners students from Manila planning for a 3-day tour Vigan-Laoag-Pagudpud. We plan to take the Sleeper bus from Manila to Vigan/Laoag roundtrip. We plan to leave Manila on friday evening and be back by Tuesday morning ( for our classes...hehe). It would be great if you suggest an itinerary for us. We are a bit budget conscious (of course...being students) but we were also discussing whether it would be better for us to rent a van in Vigan/Laoag/Pagudpud for the 3days tour or have a DIY trip on tricycles and Jeepneys.

      Hi there!

      If I were you, I will definitely choose to rent a van on that way I can exhaust my time. It would be the best way to visit as much places (tourist spots) as you want without exerting too much effort  that might drain your energy for Tuesday class =). This way you might be able to also spare yourself from unexpected expenses.

      The first one is less effort and less tiring which might also have fewer adventures, if you consider it quite boring. You might consider taking a semi DIY tour, suggestively  Manila-Pagudpud-Laoag-Vigan-Manila

      Friday Night: Sleeperes buss - Manila Pagudpud (around12-13 hours). Click here for schedule and contact number of bus company.

      Saturday:  Pagudpud rent a tricycle or van for another tour.

      Sunday: Pagudpud - Laoag (2.5 hours by bus). Laoag can also be toured using a tricycle but you “might” miss some other destination.

      Monday “EARLY” morning: Laoag-Vigan (2.5 hours by bus).  In Vigan you can rent a tricycle (around Php400-500) or Carriage (around 800).

      Vigan-Manila via regular buses, safest travel time allotment is 8-10 hours.

    Hi there! Thanks for your informative blog. I and a colleague plan to undertake an Ilocos tour this coming 15-18 May 2014. If the flight from Manila arrives and leaves Laoag as scheduled, we will actually have 2 half days (Thursday and Sunday) and 2 full days. We'd appreciate suggestions on places to visit given our schedule. Kindly note that our interest are historical sites and old churches and similar architectural places. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

      Hello :) Sorry this was late but just incase you still haven't have the idea, kuya glenn is our tour guide that time, for cheaper option we stayed at his place too. You may get all his details and the accommodation he offers on the link below.

      Hi! you may utilize my Day 2,3 and 5 itinerary, just pick the places you'd love to prioritize since I don't think it would all fit in that short trip. You may also get a tour guide to make the most out of your time.

    May query lang ako, upon arrival nyo sa Laoag airport, included na ba yung transfers from the airport to Laoag Homestay?

    Worried lang ako kasi may makaka sama ako na elderly and medyo late na din arrival ng flight.
