Situated on the West Coast of the island of Luzon, some 100km north west of Manila, Subic Bay in the Philippines will be home to the Clipper Race fleet when it takes a break there during Leg 5, the Asia Pacific Challenge.

Luzon is the biggest of the 7641 islands in the Philippines. From exploring its mountainous ranges, where pines stand in place of palms to the beaches at Baler, known as the birthplace of surfing in the country, there is something for every adventurer. Subic Bay lies within the Pamulaklakin Nature Park’s expansive 11,000 hectares.
