About this tour

Subic Bay packs history beneath the waves and adrenaline up in the trees, and this full-day tour serves both. The headline dive is the USS New York, the most famous wreck in the Philippines: an armoured cruiser scuttled on Christmas Eve 1941 to keep her out of Japanese hands, now lying on her port side in around 28 metres of water near the mouth of the Kalaklan River. Divers swim past her enormous propeller and her four 13-metre cannons, all encrusted with marine life and patrolled by barracuda and the occasional eagle ray.

Back on land, the adventure climbs into the rainforest canopy at Tree Top Adventure, where ziplines, canopy walks, and high-ropes courses send you soaring and scrambling above the jungle floor. The combination makes for a varied, action-packed day: a serious historical wreck dive in the morning, then a burst of jungle thrills in the afternoon. The former US naval base setting gives the whole area a distinctive character, with its deep, protected harbour and forested hills.

Whether your passion is military history, underwater exploration, or treetop adrenaline, this tour blends them into one unforgettable Subic Bay experience.

About the area

Subic Bay, in Zambales province north-west of Manila, is a deep natural harbour that served as a major US naval base until the early 1990s. Today the Subic Bay Freeport Zone blends a busy commercial port with forested hills, beaches, and a cluster of historic shipwrecks that make it a premier wreck-diving destination. Its mix of jungle, sea, and military history gives it a character unlike anywhere else in the country.
