It’s our first travel for the year, and our first time to try “package tour” (courtesy of Hangsaya Travel and Tours) ๐
Hangsaya Travel and Tours (https://m.facebook.com/Hangsayaphilippines) – P1,950 per person
Inclusions:
โCar transfer
โRegular ticket to Hot Air Balloon Festival
โEntrance ticket to Zoobic Safari or Ocean Adventure
โSide trip to Subic light house and Dutyfree
We booked February 14 tour.
We left Mcdo Mindanao Ave (starting point) at 2:30 A.M. and arrived at Pampanga at around 3:45 A.M. with our driver/coordinator Carlo. We were given until 8:00 A.M. to enjoy the event.
(This will a bit sound like a “complain” but I hope the management of the event will be able to read this so that they can improve the system the following years)
We were surprised with the more-than-5-minute-walk-long line! We never expected that the line for entrance will be that long! No marshalls to assist, no signages on where-to’s..kumbaga, “sariling sikap”. More than 5 people approached us asking the lines for those with ticket, where to buy ticket, etc. It took us 2 hours in the line ๐
-end of rant- AHAHAHAHA! ๐
At the area, there are around 50 concessionaires (food, souvenirs etc) BUT, better if you bring your own food – (long lines in every booth), and several portalets provided for male and female.
There’s an Airforce area where you can take a picture holding firearms, guns (wasn’t able to take photos); and several types of aircrafts were also displayed.
Aside from the main event, which is the hot air balloon show, there are also paragliders joining the balloons up in the sky โ
Yay! Here are the hot air balloons ready to flyyyy ๐
Wondering how hot air balloon works?
And these are the beautiful hot air balloon in the sky.. so cute!
Next stop is our Zoobic Safari adventure on my next post ๐๐๐๐๐ฎ๐๐
Thank you for reading!
