Zoobic Safari and Ocean Adventure, Subic Bay, Philippines

I love Subic, coz theres lots of duty free shopping stores, restaurants, the nightlife at pier 1, they maintain the cleanliness, peace and order. Never leave subic without experiencing the adventures of Zoobic Safari and Ocean Adventure.

Zoobic Safari

Zoobic Map

Zoobic Safari is the only Tiger Safari in the Philippines, a 25 hectare amusement park presenting a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you and your family. Enjoy exotic animals roaming and frolicking in their natural habitat and surroundings of individual planes and native grasslands. This very-well may be the most real thing to a wild animal jungle safari around.

Siberian White Tiger

Tiger Safari

Never leave the country to see the rare kind of white siberian tiger, for the excitement and experience of the full large size Siberian Tigers roaming around and had a close encounter of a 400 pound tiger eating a whole chicken at the top of our Safari Jeep vehicle.

Petting the camel

Bearcats

Zoobic Park, a special petting zoo and animal observation area set in a tropical jungle environment. Meander through and Interact with, pet and enjoy displays of a diverse array of animals from many regions of the world. Many of these animals have become acclimated and friendly to human beings and are free and roaming amidst the visitors. You are free to reach-out and pet many of these animals. Here you will find deer, ostriches, albino caribou, a bear, monkeys, an eagle, miniature houses, ducks, bearcats, guinea pigs, ferrets, and much more.

Zoobic Train

Close Encounter of the Tigers

Savannah

Animal Muzooeum

One thing exciting to me is hopping in thier zoobic train, a special train transportation tour to reach each destination, the tiger safari, the tiger close encounters, the savannah and the Animal Muzooeum going to croco loco and aeta’s trail.

To top it all take an photo opportunity of the real tiger for souvenirs…

Entrance Fee for Regular Day is at 395/adult and 295/child (3 to 4ft.). Holiday/Peak Season: October to May 449 adult and 349/child. The park is open from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm daily.

Ocean Adventure

Just a few kilometer away from the Zoobic Safari is the famous Ocean Adventure Subic Bay, an Entrance Fee of 500.00 pesos for adults and 400.00 pesos for child. There are three adventure show schedules the Sea Lion Marina Patrol Show at Nautilus Theatre, Dolphin Friends Show at El Capitan Theatre and Walk on the Wild Side at Eco Theatre.

South American Sea Lion

Sea Lion Marine Patrol Show is a very pleasant show, see the south american sea lions do the roll, slide, clap, dance and scream so much tricks and talent this sea lion can do. Showtime at 10:30 am 2:15 pm and 5:30 pm

Walk on the Wildside

Walk on the wildside is thier newest animal show, it features wildlife of the forest. The show begins with a demonstration by the local indigenous Aetas and their ingenious use of one simple plant, bamboo. They demonstrate their amazing ability to build and light a fire without matches, and to create a variety of utensils and tools from bamboo. Walk on the Wild Side then transports guests into the forest at night, where we explore the sights of sounds of the deep dark forest. On our “walk” we meet a variety of birds, bats, mammals, and reptile, In which you will be surprised they left a snake inside a bag to the audience be careful and be aware it. Showtime at 11:30 am and 3:45 pm

Dolphin Show

Dolphins

Dolphins and a False Killer Whale

Audience at El Capitan Theatre

Dolphin Friend Show is the ocean adventure main attraction i enjoy and learned these facinating dolphins and a false killer whale shark doing their grace, agility, power, and intelligence. The presentation is packed with action, smiles, interesting information, and an important conservation message. Showtime at 12:30 pm and 4:45 pm

Ocean Adventure

After this adventure show we take a photo opportunity, visit the aquarium, shop at the ocean park souvenir shop. It’s a nice enjoyable experience.

    in december it will be a peak season entrance fee for Zoobic Safari is 450 while in Ocean adventure will be 500 pesos per person… No need for reservation the place opens daily.. There are none shuttle buses, you can hire an AUV (Utility Vehicles avanza, crosswind, revo)located inside the SBMA gates and contract for your lowest price for a tour….

      @shennaley league, when exploring subic you must a hire an SUV type of taxi available at the entrance near gate of subic.. then appeal or bargain to the driver for the cheaper fare.. Zoobic Safari and Ocean Adventure are far.. my estimate is about 3 kms…

    how much do you think does it cost now to hire a taxi for a whole day tour? I talked to someone at Winstar Taxi services and they said that it would cost P 400 one way then another P 400 from Zoobic – Ocean adventure and one more P500 charge from Ocean adventure – Olonggapo city pabalik. What if the driver would not pick us up on time? Or worse, not pick us up anymore, bayad kasi kada hatid. Any suggestions?

      Upon entering a subic you hired a taxi and talk to the driver, ask them how much is their fixed price upon going to each destination and make a bargain for them… Based on my experience a taxi there charge us 1,000 pesos to zoobic and ocean adventure then back to Olongapo City. You don’t need to worry the laws on subic are very strict, The taxi driver could just wait simply list their plate number and name of the taxi or name of the driver. Thanks for reading by…

He just wait for us while we were in Zoobic safari,ocean adv and Royal duty free. Thank GOD, our taxi driver Kuya Mar is really kind. :) I also want to Thanks Mr. Blogger vinz8000.

    good day. how many hours away is Clark airport from the Zoobic Safari place? What transportation should I take from Clark airport to Zoobic, and how much is the fare? We plan going to Zoobic on day 1 and then to Ocean Adventure on day 2. Since we wouldnt be spending much of our time at the hotel, any modest place you can suggest which is very safe for tourists and still very clean? thanks!

    Hello! Thanks for the information, you give us some tips what to vist first between the two, zoobic safari and ocean adventure. I would like to ask if we can go inside the subic zone using our own trandportation w/o hiring a taxi cab? Also i would like to ask if you have any idea is how far is the ocean adventure from Arlenes Inn I, is it a min. or an hour drive? One last question, do you have any idea if Arlenes Inn is ok for lodging, is it safe? Thanks for your reply in advance!

      It’s okey if you had your own transportation going inside the SBMA zone be sure to pay some fees and follow the rules of traffic when you enter in the SBMA area. Arlenes Inn is one the oldest lodging house in olongapo, maybe try some new hotel or inn there are many new inn and hotel olongapo has to offer…

Our iti would start at Zoobic (as you suggested previously) 8AM, then maybe the tour would end by 11:30AM have luch firstbefore we proceed to Ocean Adventure. Is there a place in Zoobic where we can have lunch or inside Ocean Adventure? Or outside the parks? Thanks
