Imagine if you could vacation on one gigantic bouncy castle.

The Philippines has what may very well be as close to that very thing: Inflatable Island is located near Samba Bluewater Resort in Subic Bay.

To be a bit specific, the following images highlight a new attraction that is opening April 1, and a Facebook post by Samba Bluewater explains the new inflatable Island is not actually part of the resort. It merely shares a location at Subic Bay.

Here's a basic layout of what is essentially the inflatable jungle gym we dreamed of playing on as kids.

This video highlights the frivolity commensurate with a bunch of obstacles floating out in this gorgeous bay:

The website currently offers a discount if you book online. A two-hour pass will run you 699 Philippine pesos (or about $13.93). You can spend up to 1,399 pesos (or about $27.87) for an entire day on the 'island.'

The entry fee comes with a bit extra: Not only do you get access to the inflatable structure for the specified time, you also get the entire day at Samba Beach, the floating zoo and its lounge.

While I have given up on my dream of becoming an "American Ninja Warrior," I do like my chances at completing a day swinging, leaping and diving off this insane inflatable island.
