About this place

Located in the forests of the Subic Bay Freeport, this jungle survival training ground features Aeta instructors who demonstrate and teach jungle survival skills such as making fire with bamboo and cooking rice.

Google rating: 4.4.

Location & Getting There — Situated in the forest (Upper Mau) of the Cubi area within the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, right next to the Magaul Bird Park inside the camp. It takes about 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes by car from Angeles and Clark via SCTEX. For public transportation, take a blue jeepney from Olongapo to enter SBMA, then take a taxi.

Activities — Main highlights include jungle survival demonstrations by Aeta instructors (making fire with bamboo, cooking rice, and crafting tools) as well as bird, butterfly, and insect viewing. Group programs include a 1–2 hour nature walk, a 6-hour campcraft session including lunch (minimum 5 people), and 24–72 hour overnight survival training courses (minimum 10 people).

Rates & Reservation — Official rates are not publicly available. While third-party reseller sites list half-day admission at ₱350 (as of 2025), this is not an official price, so it is best to call and confirm rates and course schedules before visiting. Courses have minimum participant requirements, so advance booking is required.

Tips — Since you will be walking forest trails, bring sneakers or hiking boots with good traction, insect repellent, and water. Overnight courses require a flashlights and a raincoat. Pets are not allowed in the park or restaurants.

※ Official rates could not be verified. Program information is based on a 2024 travel blog (ahroundph) and admission fees are based on a reseller site (Spasify, 2025), which are subject to change (Verified on 2026-10-10).
