    We chose to do a tour to Subic Bay expecting that we would at least get a historical background on the once US Naval base. There was none of that nor were we even driven through the area the US Navy once occupied. The tour’s focus was the zoo in Subic Bay. Very disappointed! Lunch was nothing great; the restaurant was even out of deserts on the menu. It would have been nice too if the tour package included bottled water after the walk in hot humid weather. Not worth the price we paid!

  • Great location for a day trip

    Driving distance from Manila. Must leave early by 4 to reach this destination. Baloy beach has watersports and resorts which can be rented for a day. The cost is around 1500 Pesos per day. Entry to Baloy beach is around 50 Pesos. Driving or renting a car is the best option to reach this location.

  • Terrible - not as advertised

    The ride out was long and boring but sadly that was the best part of the day. The safari was horrible. First the animals are caged in small cages under filthy conditions and this cruelty to the animals should be justification for closing this place down. A baby tiger is chained up and what appeared to be drugged to keep him lathargic for photos made me cry. The safari is riding around in a small pen attracting starving tigers with raw chicken. Deplorable. I went for the scenic vista advertised on the teaser but when I showed it to the guide the response was I have never seen a place like that. No other guides could identify it either. Worst Viator program ever.

  • Great place to visit during stay in Manila

    This is great place to visit if you want to get away from all the hassle and bustle of Manila for a day. It took as about 3 hours to get there from CBD Manila and we visited the Zoo and All Hands Beach. There is an expensive entry fee into All Hands Beach, but its worth the cost as you get a private beach feel, good cheap food and clean amenities to shower at the end of the day.

    I feel this was over sold by the operator. We did not stop at US Naval base and very light explanation was given. The wildlife experience protected jeep is only 5 minutes out of 2 hours within a zoo and some poor attractions. Extremely disappointed, especially considering the price of the tour.

    It wasn't even a Subic Bay trip. All we saw was the Zoobic Safari and that was it. My husband retired from the US Navy and wanted to reminisce the times he was here but we didn't even see Subic Bay. All of us in the tour felt the same way. It was a total waste of time and money.

    One of my most memorable experiences of my Philippines trip was my tour to Subic Bay where we got to go swimming and shopping in the warehouse store that had Dr. Pepper, Burberry, and Polo shirts for reasonable prices.

    First started with an emailing confirming tour day and pick up time,0800. The tour guide was waiting in our lobby right at 8. This tour is GREAT!!!!! Our guide was so knowledgeable and really went out of her way for us. They took us to a church and she had one of her friends that knows that church well give us a tour and really explained the history to us. It was about a two hour drive but she kept us busy with all of the facts and great conversations. Once we got to the jungle survival demonstration at Subic Bay, we ordered out food and sat for the demonstration of how to make utensils and also how to cook rice out of bamboo. The 2 guys that taught that were so nice. They even let us taste the water out of the tree branch and sent us home with 2 cups and a spork made from bamboo. Lunch was amazing!!! I know many Filipinos that lived in the Philippines that never got to have food out of bamboo. Great experience! You only spend enough time at Subic Bay for lunch and so on. As for the zoo, we really enjoyed the tiger area. As far as everything else there, not really worth time if you've been to a zoo before. We had extra time so out guide took us to a couple souvenir shops and even the local SM store. We went on a different tour after this one and it did not compare. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR!!!

    to start out it was not that great we got an email telling us our pick up time would be between 9:15am and 9:30Am when we got to our pickup location the actual pickup time was 8am. But, after a little while they did get us a driver and guide who by the way where wonderful can't say enough about them. On our way we went and the trip was beautiful. The only other problem was because of the late pick up we did not have enough time to do the Jest course which was very disappointing.
