Useful Information
Dolphin Show
Reach the Subic Naval Base, a former US naval facility that was America’s largest naval facility in the Pacific region until it was abandoned after the volcano’s eruption. Your expert local guide will explain how this area has since been converted into a modern free port and tourism zone.
Tour the facility and learn about its history during the Battle of Manila Bay and the Philippine-American War. Then, visit a JEST (Jungle Environmental Survival Training) Camp, where you’ll witness Aetas, the Philippines' indigenous people, demonstrate skills needed to survive in a tropical jungle.
At midday, you'll head to a local restaurant to enjoy some delicious Filipino food.
Finally, experience a Zoobic Safari, an exciting tiger safari that’s the only one of its kind in the Philippines. Aboard a safety-protected Jeep, ride through a tiger enclosure and feel your adrenaline rush as you get up close to these animals!
If tiger thrills aren't your thing, you can choose to enjoy a marine animal show. Be mesmerized by the grace and agility of dolphins and then watch comical stunts performed by talented sea lions. Afterward, you’ll be taken back to your Manila hotel.

It was a nice day trip to take from Manila, we were on the road for about 2 hours each way, which allowed us to see the countryside. Traveling along the route you can see some of the after effects of Mt Pinatubo which was interesting to me. Subic Bay was beautiful, but we only spent about 2.5 hours there. The lunch was included and was actually very good. Overall a fun trip to take.
