Third and last adventure – Superman Ride

Superman ride 1

Here we go with our final ride for that day, the Superman ride; anyone can be like Superman and feel as if you are flying for about 5 mins. A very quick ride that you really just have to hold on tight. Hehe.

Superman ride 2

At first, the ride will let you fly backwards, it was a bit scary because it was really too fast and you can’t see your back and not sure when and where it would stop.

Superman ride 3

After a full stop, change of cables then the ride going forward begins… in this part, it was really fun and you can really act and feel as if you are flying… Weeeeeeeeeee!

Superman ride 4

Overall, Superman Ride was the best and our most favorite ride. Exciting, quick and so much FUN.   Subic Tree Top has their latest ride which is the Interactive Free Fall; this ride was not part of our package, so we missed this one but will really try this next time… Got some cool shots of this interesting ride… I think this ride will really make your heart jump but will be really fun because you’ll be in a group going up and down in the air…Hehehe. Better check it out too! Enjoy!

Second adventure – the Tree Top Adventure Canopy Ride

Start of the Ultimate Adventure

For this ride, you should be in a group of 3 to maximize the seats. For couples, this can be a good ride for some quiet moments together and sweet chats. But for loners who want to be with the trees then go ahead and ride on your own. Hehe.

Riding the Canopy

As you can see in the picture above, seats are just made in plastic like a typical chair but hanging and without any feet. Ropes used are made of hose and sealed with heavy duty tapes and wires. Honestly, looking at it, would make you feel uncomfortable, doubt if this thing really works and if these seats can really support you… Waaaaahhh… I got scared at that time and was very careful in riding and really held on those hose real tight. Haha.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride...

During the ride, you just have to enjoy the view but if you are afraid of heights never look down! Ride between platforms takes about 5 minutes or less, short cables but waiting time can be long in changing cables. When we had this ride, it was a weekend; there were a lot of people so the whole ride took us almost 2 hours.

Canopy ride in Action

When you reached the platforms, you can also be educated with some basic information about these old big trees… Canopy ride guides/assistants are also very friendly, entertaining and share their different funny stories.

Learn something about the trees...

If you get bored with their informative signs, entertaining guides, then all you can do now is to take some pictures, just like this… Hehe.

Take shots while waiting for your ride...

Overall, the whole ride was too long, boring, and scary for me. I’m not really afraid of heights but being 100ft above the ground seeing only the trees, riding those plastic chairs in hose cables and feet floating in the air is quite a challenge and a bit scary. I would suggest you try this ride just to get the thrilling experience but riding it again never came into my mind. Sorry…Hahaha.

First adventure – Tree Drop/Rappelling

Tree Drop 1

See that caution sign? No one can get in without safety belts in place. Below is a shot of the short bridge going to the main area of Tree Drop or the dropping/falling area… walked here just fine, no tension yet! I know I can do this!

Tree Drop 2

Okay, we’re here now…you have to stand on the ledge with helmet, gloves, harness attached and most important – LISTEN and FOCUS with Kuya’s instructions… I must admit I failed here, didn’t focused and can’t even remember now what Kuya was saying because I was at that time too damn scared…My Gahhhhhhhd! TIP: Never look down!

Tree Drop 3

Now, it is time to make your harness work and compose yourself as if you are flying… this drop is called the Australian style. Kuya will hold your hand for awhile then with his loud go signal whatever word he was saying you will quickly go down… Weeeeeeeeeeee! It was really so so fast, as if your face was being erased…Hahaha.

Tree Drop 4

Here’s another shot while falling…

Tree Drop 5

A shot from below…

Tree Drop 6

Another way to go down is the Spiderman style, head first, feet on top, and you have to make your way down with your hands. Looks more fun and easier? Well, you can just try both styles and see which you like best…

Tree Drop 7

Another shot of the Spiderman style…still trying to position herself the right way…

Tree Drop 8

For emergency landing…hehe or in case whatever style you were trying didn’t worked, you can just do this position, as if you’re lying down… then they can just pull you down…

Tree Drop 9

Once you landed, someone will be there waiting for you, will assist you in removing all those stuffs…hairnet, helmet, harness, and gloves…

Tree Drop 10

Just sharing this shot, I love this picture, find it so funny, my friend was so happy and laughing real hard when he landed…a funny side-effect of this Tree Drop Adventure…Hehe.

Tree Drop 11

Want to try it? It looks easy when you’re watching others do it but once you’re there on top, you really have to compose yourself and remove all the fright… it was so FUN and a very thrilling experience!
