Inflatable Island
Inflatable Island in Subic Bay, Zambales Province, is one of the most playful and eye-catching attractions along the Luzon Region coast. Known as the “biggest floating playground in Asia,” it combines the feel of a beach club with the excitement of a giant obstacle course set right on the sea. With its colorful floating slides, trampolines, and climbing structures, it has become a popular destination for families, groups of friends, and anyone looking for a fun day outdoors.
How to Get There
The attraction is located within the Subic Bay area, making it easy to reach by car or bus from Manila City in around two to three hours. Visitors coming from Clark International Airport can also travel south to Subic Bay in about an hour.
For those staying in Olongapo City or inside the Subic Freeport Zone, the drive is short and straightforward, with clear signages leading to the beach club entrance. Many travelers also join Subic tours that include Inflatable Island as one of the stops.
What to Expect
A visit to Inflatable Island means hours of bouncing, sliding, and splashing around on its giant floating playground. Guests are provided with life vests before exploring the maze of interconnected inflatables, which range from tall slides to balancing beams and monkey bars over the water.
There are also lounge areas on the beach, colorful bean bags, and cabanas where you can relax between sessions. The setting combines adventure with a resort-like vibe, making it just as fun to chill on the shore as it is to play on the water.
Best Time to Visit
The dry months from November to May are the best time to enjoy Inflatable Island, with sunny skies and calm seas creating ideal conditions for outdoor fun. Visiting in the morning or early afternoon allows guests to enjoy the water activities before the heat intensifies. Weekdays are generally less crowded, while weekends bring a livelier atmosphere with more visitors.
Shore Excursions for Cruise Passengers
For cruise passengers docking at Subic Bay, Inflatable Island is one of the most exciting shore excursion options. Its proximity to the port makes it easy to spend a few hours enjoying the floating obstacle course before returning to the ship. Some Subic Bay cruise excursions include a visit here along with other attractions, while others are designed as independent day trips.
The most convenient way to experience the playground is with a Day Pass to Inflatable Island Beach Club Resort, which grants access to the inflatables, beachfront facilities, and food credits at the resort. This makes it a hassle-free choice for both day-trippers and cruise passengers who want to maximize their time in port.
