This is our first summer getaway for this year though I know I've already said that we will be less in travel this year for some reason, but I can't help it! 😅

Last month I was on research to a place where we can go for one day only(Sunday) because I have work always on Saturdays and I don't want to take a paid leave because I want to use it in our anniversary trip on April.😁 So for one day, I need to check all the near places around in Manila. Then I crossed in google this Inflatable Island that I have seen for a while in Facebook.

Inflatable Island is one of the biggest floating water park / playground in Asia, because this Inflatable is now more bigger -  4, 100sqm from 3,400sqm same big of 8 basketball courts put together side by side! It's a full of fun and challenges because you'll be experience this  towers, monkey bars, slides, ladders, swings, ramps, trampoline etc. the difference is you can experience this in water. The most exciting part is the 10-meter High Tarzan Swing and a 9-meter human launcher! (The famous in Inflatable).

Do you also know that you can burn calories here for more than 500? You are having fun plus you're getting sexy at the same time. Wow! Haha 😂

  
I recommend for you to book your trip through online because they accept walk-ins only 250pax per day. And you can also choose your time slot online.😊

We choose the SPLASH ticket because I think 2 hours is enough to enjoy the play area. We did enjoyed!

Here are the UPDATED tickets that can avail through their website:







If you're already tired, you can get some rest on their Bali Lounge. This also include on your ticket and you can use this for whole day. Bali Lounge has these colorful umbrellas and bean bags (Great for the Instagram-worthy!) and if you feel thirst or hungry, you can order fruit shakes and pizzas at the food stalls at the back in Bali Lounge (Because foods from outside are not allowed at Inflatable).

Take Note: The space in Bali Lounge is limited only. It's a first come, first serve basis. Don't worry they have extra chairs and tables nearby.







Besides in Bali Lounge, you'll have an access also in Samba Beach for FREE! Cottages are not included. They offer some water activities too! Like kayaking, jetski, banana boat etc.,

For overnight stay, you can avail their package here: https://www.theinflatableisland.com/packages where the price per room already inludes the tickets for Inflatable. Subic Bay Peninsular Hotel is their official hotel partner which is 5-7 minutes AWAY BY CAR from Inflatable Island. It is located in the Central Business District of Subic Bay Freeport Zone. Price ranges at Php2,000-Php2,500.


They do have also these cute containers in different colors. Perfect for your pang-awra 😁

Before entering the playground, you should attend their 10 minute orientation. This is required because you will not get a life vest if you didn't attend the orientation.


How to get there:
From Manila:
Take a Victory Liner Bus at Cubao that is going to Olongapo City (Drop off is in the terminal). At the terminal take a blue jeep and tell to the driver to drop you off at Samba Blue Water Resort. Fare is Php10 only. (Check the fares here)
But instead of a jeep, we take a tricycle to the resort. Fare is Php100 for 3.
Or you can take a bus going to Iba Zambales and ask to the conductor where you headed, they already know the place.
