    Easily accessible but poor condition

    They are not very well maintained anymore, but they are easily accessible and the view decks are all along the main road. You can walk along the road and pass by the viewing points from Banaue proper, so no need to hire a trike.

    Very breathtaking views of the rice terraces, especially with the sun coming up in the morning and reflecting on the terraces.

    A must see!

    Some parts of the Banaue Rice Terraces may have been neglected but whatever is left of it is still beautiful. It was foggy and rainy when we were there but we were still able to view the awesome, centuries-old handicraft of the Cordilleran tribes.

    'WOW' PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT UP

    The viewpoint [there are actually several] is quite stunning. The steepness of the rice terraces here are what dazzles. The site is definitely worth its share of the World Heritage Site status for Philippines' rice terraces. The views spread across the valley immediately in front...More

    Most hotels, hostels in the area usually have WiFi connection. The signal can be a bit of a problem at times.
