## What is Explore Subic?

Where to in Subic? Explore Subic is a local guide to the Subic Bay Freeport Zone: places worth knowing, trips you can plan day by day, events coming up, and stories from the people who visit and live here.

SEARCH FIRST
Find somewhere for coffee, a beach, a forest trail or a place to stay straight from the home screen. Browse by category, by neighbourhood or by idea, from "By the water" to "Open late". Not sure? Tap Surprise me and swipe through places one at a time.

EVERY PLACE, IN DETAIL
Photos, opening hours, prices, maps and directions for hundreds of places around the bay. Save your favourites, mark the places you've been, and leave reviews.

STORIES FROM THE BAY
Read stories from travellers and locals, recommend the ones you love, and share your own with photos and tagged places. Keep private memories of your trips, and share them when you're ready. Stories are reviewed by our editors before they appear. Report concerns and block accounts from your feed at any time.

EVENTS
See what's coming up in the Freeport, with dates, venues and directions, and add events to your calendar. Organising something? Request a free listing for your event.

PLAN A DAY, STEP BY STEP
Start from a ready-made guide or a blank page, without signing up. Add stops, reorder each day, keep notes, and get directions for the day. Start a day to follow your stops from the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island. Share a link to your route; your dates and notes stay private.

WIDGETS, SIRI AND SHORTCUTS
Add widgets for today's pick, your next trip stop and emergency numbers. Ask Siri to surprise you, search the guide or show what's open now, and assign any of these shortcuts to Back Tap or the Action button. Places also appear in Spotlight search.

ON-DEVICE PLANNING
On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, draft a day from a vibe you pick, built only from real places in the guide, and see a quick take on each place. It runs privately on your iPhone.

EMERGENCY NUMBERS
SBMA and national emergency hotlines, one tap to call.

BROWSE FIRST, JOIN WHEN YOU'RE READY
Explore and plan without an account. Create one to sync across the app and exploresubic.com, share trips and stories, or manage your business listing. You can delete your account inside the app.
