If
you're a group of 4 up to 6 people and want to experience the fun together,
then Banana Boat is your best option!
For
15 minutes, this classic water activity boasts a wave splashing experience as
it glides and wobbles off the coast offering a scenic tour to its riders. The
Banana Boat is large inflatable long raft towed behind by a Jetski or speedboat
in all directions. Typically, these boats are long, narrow, and either single

Unlikely
as it sounds, but the Bandwagon activity assures you an exciting ride of your
life!
Just
like the Banana boat, this large inflatable raft can accommodate up to 6
persons and towed by a rushing speedboat or Jetski in every direction. The only
difference is that three persons can sit in the front while the rest will have
to stand at the back which means everyone must really hold on tight as this
ride zips you through high-g turns! Sounds fun right? And since it has a wider
bottom, it tends to bounce up in the air at times depending on the number of
people, speed, and waves. Think you and your pals are brave enough for some
wave actions?

Craving
for an extra challenge? Then get on board a Jet ski and start racing around
Subic Bay!
At
first, maneuvering may be kinda tricky, but after a few practices, you'll
surely get the hang of it. In no time, see yourself speeding up, conquering the
waves, and doing some tight turns. Zip around the calm bay with the views of
various naval ships, container cranes, stunning coastline, and the dramatic
backdrop of the Zambales mountain range from afar. You can enjoy your own
freedom if you want to go solo but sharing the ride with a friend or even your

Either
