And then suddenly I remember our
Subic
trip and I still unable to share it here.
Yana,
my niece, told me that she wanted to try the Treetop Adventure then I remember
hal and I bought tickets few months back together with Kaye and Jeck. And because
Yana was also itching to join us on our
travels, we planned a day trip with her going North. Thanks to discount vouchers we purchased online, Yey!
I must say going to North from South on a day trip is easier
if you have a car. Especially if you’ll squeeze your activities in a day; it
could be tiring and would eat your time on travel than the activity.
We left South at around 5am and fetch Yana (since she's residing in Bulacan) at Sta. Rita exit and headed North. While others were sleeping comfortably at
the back, our driver Hal was focus on the road and I did my best not to sleep
to keep Hal a company.
Our first stop was Zoobic Safari. Jeck and Kaye already used
their vouchers weeks back with their family so they decided not to explore the
park again. They settled themselves bumming in the car and doing nothing. I trust Kaye that they will be all fine because I know they will always keep each other
busy J
We need to listen to a 15 minutes orientation before the tour.
Then after the do’s and don’t and some instructions, we were all ready to go.
We decided not to finish the last 2 attractions to catch up
with the Treetop Adventure. We immediately headed to the car after the tour, no
lunch at all as we want to arrive to our next destination as early as possible.
Luckily we brought some snacks along. Mamaya na ang bonggang kain.
Treetop Adventure is just about 10 minutes away from Zoobic
Safari. Yana got excited here. She’s more
adventurous than me and more fearless to try thrilling rides.
We of course wanted to experience all the rides. Complete package includes Canopy Ride, Canopy Walk, Superman Ride, Tree Drop, Trekking with Jungle Survival Demonstration, Silver Surfer and Interactive Free Fall.
The best and most daring ride here is the Treedrop/Rapelling. A real adrenaline rush and heart pumping experience.
I just want to comment on a rude staff they have at the
Superman ride. Not friendly at all. We felt that he was really pushing us to be
quick in climbing the ladder and on setting us up with the harness. I even
asked for a moment because I’m still trying to get a comfortable position and
he tapped my hand out the bar because I’m still holding on it as they are
about to start the ride. Then he said “tsk tsk”. If only we still had time and
was not in a hurry to catch the last attraction I’ll get his name and report
him to the admin.
I am also exhausted and hungry after all the rides so I pass it on. But I hope they’ll be able to monitor all the staffs on how they perform their
duties. For the others, they were all approachable and handled us well.
It’s a worth it trip after all because we bought our tickets
on a discount price. Considering the over-all experience on a regular price, I'll think twice of its worth. Maybe I expect more for both of them. Well, you should still try it though so you do the judge. I suggest to better wait for a promo ticket too. J
