Subic Bay adventure

General information

Destination
Manila, Philippines

Program details

Begin this adventure with an early morning drive to the former US naval facility in Subic, Zambales, 75 miles northwest of Manila.
Known as the Subic Naval Base, it was America’s largest naval facility in the Pacific region until the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in 1991 led to its abandonment. The area has since been converted into a modern free port and tourism zone.


Witness the aftermath brought by Mt. Pinatubo’s eruption (considered the strongest volcanic eruption in the last century) while passing through the provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga. Then visit a JEST Camp (Jungle Environmental Survival Training Camp) where indigenous people called Aetas demonstrate survival skills in a tropical rain forest. Experience a Zoobic Safari with its ride-through tiger enclosure (the only one of its kind in the Philippines.)
There is an option to stop by duty free shops inside the Freeport Zone before the return trip to Manila.


Meeting/pick-up point: Pick-up at hotels within Makati, Manila Bay Area, Ortigas, Taguig and Pasay Area.

Duration: 11 hours and-a-half.

Start/opening time: At 8.30am.
