Manila Travel Forum

Hi,

Has anyone used this tour place? I can get a car and driver to Subic for 6500 pesos for 12 hours...does that sound good?

As I am by myslefand female is it safe?

Any other recommendations as i am mainly foing this to go ot Ocean Park.

Thanks

The price of car and driver to Subic for 12 hours sounds good. Under normal conditions, it is also safe. But travel time from Manila to Subic is about 4 hours (+4 hours return). Do you think you can really enjoy this travel?

I think it will be worth it to do the whale swim.

Maybe you should also clarify if fuel, toll fees and driver's meals are included in the contract price.

The rate for 12 hours private car transporation to subic is 6500 pesos
including the return and expenses like fuel, parking fee, toll fee and
driver. Extra hour rate is 300 pesos only

In that case, it's already a good package.

How do i know the agent is safe thoiuhg? Being that i am a white female and by myself?

generally, daytime travel time to subic from Balintawak - the entrance to the NLEX (North Luzon Expressway) - is approx 1 hour 45 min. It is the travel within Metro Manila to NLEX that can slow you down. If you want to avoid the traffic jam, be at Balintawak before 7 am

have a hotel personnel (doorman, guard) note down the plate number of the car before you depart from your hotel. that should deter the driver from misbehaving

Hi,

Thank you, I was planning on leaving at 530am or something to avoid the traffic, Ocean Park opens at 9am...

Good idea about the number plate.

Can anyone recommend a cheap safe hotel? Just want basic not 5 star.

ALso, what is the weather like end of November?
