Subic Transportation Tips by GenuinelyCurious Top 5 Page for this destination

I had an interesting experience this morning. I was trying to make my way the 25 or so km around Subic Bay to visit Ocean Adventure (see tip http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/t/1c0ba7/4/150fbd/0/). On the way, I dealt with trike and taxi, both of whom wanted to 'maximize profit'. The trike driver was an out-and-out liar so I renegotiated on the spot when he left me far short of the goal. The taxi was fair, but a tad expensive. If I had paid what they had asked the sum total would have been 600 pesos, or about US$15. Not too bad - if you're in the US! I ended up shelling out 450.

On the way back, it was a different story. I asked some of the locals how they would do it and they suggested a two-step jeepney trip that brought be just about to my door, for a total of 15 pesos. True, it took about an hour and a quarter instead of an hour and it was a bit packed. But a great experience and quite a savings.
