Enter Cubi Bat Kingdom Cubi Bat Kingdom, an attraction in Crown Peaks, is where an estimated 10,000 bats reside. Trips around the area always begin in the afternoon, the time of day when these infamous, night-flying creatures are still asleep. As darkness falls, you will be treated to the sight and sound of bamboo bats and golden crowned flying foxes circling around in search of food. You will also get to see Philippine giant fruit bats, which are among the largest species in the world. Visit Zoobic Safari This 25-hectare zoo could be one of the best in the country. Its various stations that present different kinds of animals and offer face-to-face encounters with them will surely satisfy your craving for some wildlife presence. Guided tours of the park have 3 main parts. First, you'll take a 40-minute walk to the first stations, like Serpentarium and Rodent World. Then, on a tram you'll go to other stations, such as Savannah where you can drive by wild boars, ostriches, and guinea fowls. Finally, you will be transferred to a more secure safari jeep before you take the route to the area of wild tigers. Ride a horse at El Kabayo Equestrian Center If you are among those who admire the elegance of horses, then a visit to El Kabayo Equestrian Center is a must. You can easily reach the place from any Subic hotel, like Terrace Hotel, by heading to Binictican area. Seasoned and inexperienced riders, as well as those who simply want to look around are all welcome to visit. Unlike other stables in the Philippines, this one houses imported horses that include thoroughbreds, quarter horses, saddlebreds, and even a few standardbreds. Further, former race winners are also available for riding. Have fun at Ocean Adventure Ocean Adventure, Southeast Asia's only open-air marine park, is located at the edge of the rainforest along Ilanin Bay. Here, you can go to stations like the Sea Lion Theater, where you can witness marine animals swim, dive, and do some acrobatics. You will also get to observe the underwater scene of Subic Bay and South China Sea in Discovery Aquarium. But, the most famous attraction in the park would be its Dolphin Friends Show, where you can watch—and even swim with—these well-loved sea creatures as they exhibit intelligence and grace. Dive into Subic Wrecks Because Subic was once the largest US naval base outside the Americas, its reefs are among the best wreck sites in the country, if not in the world. There are now 8 discovered spots—and counting—which include USS New York, a World War I battle cruiser. Here, not only will you be able to bask in the beauty of these former greats of the sea, but you can also swim with and even feed creatures that thrive amid the ruins. Indeed, a breathtaking underwater trip is just one of the reasons to spend hours away from your comfortable hotel in Subic Bay, Philippines.
