An Electrifying Experience in Subic


Subic’s struggling tourism industry has definitely been helped by Tree Top adventure. The series of zip lines and canopy walks are fun (for those who have the nerve to give it a try) and pretty affordable. Multiple activity packages range from 400 to 1120 pesos.

Zip lines seem to have taken over the Philippines. They are everywhere. Even in gritty, urban Manila, you can find people zipping high above the pavement. It’s good that Subic has joined the trend.

At Subic Tree Top, they offer more than zip lines. They also offer the a 60 foot drop from a tree. We recommend packing a fresh pair of underpants before enjoying this activity.

Tree Top appears to be careful about safety, which is critical in these types of activities. But there is one very disturbing apparent lapse. The superman zipline ride has a live, electric line running UNDER the ride. One snap of the line of the and riders will sizzle.

This video shows the electric wire running under the ride: 


 If you fall off the Subic Tree Top superman zip line, would you like to be prepared rare, medium or well done?
