Hi there. I don’t know a guide who speaks french however you may try reaching out with Banaue Hotel as we have stayed there and they have local tours if I remember. They may recommend some people.

Hi, an overnight would do at least in my opinion. The hike we did to explore the banaue rice terraces and waterfall took 4 hours one way and another 3 hours or so (based on your pace) to go back. It will be tiring but doable. then go straight to the souvenir shops (if you like to buy memento of your trip). As for the private transport, there are groups doing joined hikes but also overnight minimum. :(

Bonjour, la marche se fait essentiellement sur les rizières donc sur des passages étroits avec le vide. Il y a des chemins assez escarpés, grimper des escaliers un peu à pic. Il n'existe qu'un chemin dans les rizières pour atteindre les villages et vous ne pourrez pas faire demi tour car suivant le circuit que vous prenez il faudra compter au minimum 8 heures de marches pour votre premier escale. Si votre amie a le vertige franchement j'éviterai de faire le treck de 3 jours. Par contre vous pouvez passer la journée sur HAPAO avec un guide, beaucoup plus accessible. Vous pourrez profiter du paysage et des sources chaudes. Bon voyage

Hello. While the rice terraces themselves suffer little damage during the rainy season, the roads are susceptible to mudslides and other damages which may impede or harm a traveller. Better to wait until the wet season passes.

Yes it is possible! My fiance and I we're able to stay in Banaue and hike to the rice terraces the evening we arrived. Approximately 3-4hours time. Or you could pay someone to drive you to the top very easily. The next day our hotel provided a driver with a motorcycle and he took us to Batad. We left early in the morning and then we returned that evening around 6 p.m.. if you scheduled a night bus that night you could make it work in 2 days. If you took 3 days its plenty of time and you wouldn't have to rush just fyi.

If youre going to Batad its quite a walk and going up and down.. if youre not fit to walk you might not enjoy it.. id say do a small hike and warm up for it just to be prepared. But you absolutely can just chill and relax and enjoy the view of rice terraces from your hotel room if you stay at Batad trasient house/home. They have a great view from there.
