There are so many things to do at Subic Bay it is hard to make a list of just ten but here is a preview of what awaits you at Subic Bay this summer and in fact all year around. ( go to number 6 to 10)

 

1. Stare Down a Tiger- Come face to face with a man eating tiger, okay they eat mostly chicken but I would not get to close in case they wanted a snack of “Ladies” fingers. At Zoobic Safari you get close up to their tigers when you take the safari adventure, how close? Close enough to smell the chicken they just ate on their breath. In the safari adventure you are the one locked up in a cage, one on four wheels. After entering the special purpose safari vehicle there is a short drive to the tiger habitat, where the vehicle enters a set of double gates to get close to the tigers. As you slowly drive around the tigers come to investigate. Enticed by a snack of chicken they come right to you. The guide feeds chicken to the tiger through a small slot in the mesh covering. The tigers are also like to pounce on the roof, which allows the visitors a another close up as the roof has clear panels. Zoobic safari also has a mini-zoo that combines a traditional zoo and a petting zoo. Some of the animals are allowed to walk around the park. You can also feed chicken to the crocodiles, lower a piece of chicken from a fishing pool and see who is faster you or a hungry crocodile. Zoobic Safari is one of the major attractions at the Subic Bay Freeport offering visitors an experience with different animals, allow at least half a day for this attraction.

2. Swim with a Dolphin- The Ocean adventure theme park is a marine animal center that offers visitors a range of activities. One of the added attractions that they have is a swim encounter with their trained dolphins. Here guest have the opportunity to enter the water and swim with the dolphins and perform different tricks with them. Ocean adventure offers a number of shows each day that include a whale and dolphin show with there false killer whale and a few different types of dolphins. There is a sea lion show, animal trick show, and a high dive show. Allow at least a half day for this activity ( note: Seahorse tours offers Ocean Adventure and Zoobic Safari together in the Day with the mammals tour) .

3. Be a Survivor – Take a hike along the Pamulaklakin forest trail with a real jungle survivor and learn some of his tricks of life. The Aeatas are a local people who have been living in the jungles of the Philippines for centuries. The modern day Aeata maintains many of the cultural traits and lifestyles of their ancestor. While the US military had there base here these people acted as forest rangers and also instructed survival skills to military members. Today many are still forest rangers and the survival teachers are now passing there skills on to tourist. Here tourist can take a hike with options between 30 minutes and three hours into the jungle of the Subic Bay watershed. While on your hike your guide will point out plants that can be used to help you survive , how to find drinkable water and make a shelter in a tree. There is also some survival skills demonstrations such as making fire using bamboo sticks and drinking water from a bamboo stalk.

   Fly through the Trees and then Drop on in- Tree Top Adventure gives you some soft adventure to get your heart pumping. Some of the activities here include the ultimate adventure which is a face down zip line between the tree tops. Fly through the jungle like superman. Walk along th swing bridges. The activities at tree top are 60 feet above the ground. Ready to return to earth? Try tree drop, 60 feet rappel to the ground.

   Horse around a bit-The El Kabayo Equestrian Center in the Binictican area of subic Bay freeport offers a wide range of horse related activities.The center uses horses imported from the U.S., Argentina, and Australia. The breeds include thoroughbreds, saddlebreds, quarter horses and even a few standardbreds. The horses are a great contrast to the native breeds normally found in the Philippines.
