First, you'll escape the diesel fumes of the city as you pull away from the dock. The 45 minute ferry ride is a beautiful one as you approach the tadpole shaped island. Alot of historical significance exists besides the many entities that held this ground. Tour was nice with the guide providing alot of humor along the way. Travel to... more

This tour is very organized and well done. It will be one of the best days of your visit to Manila. The tour is very interesting and you don't just see the tunnels, old buidings, and monuments, you walk all through them, just like the soldieirs did 67 years ago. Such recent history from such a different time. Interesting but... more

Try to read about the battle for Corregidor before you get there. Books or online. This will help you understand the events that took place there. This was my favorite attraction to see during my three week stay in the Philippines. A MUST DO WHEN IN MANILA more

I am not a huge World War 2 buff, but this was a pretty fun trip. The day was beautiful (sunny, not many clouds in the sky), which really helps. Once you get to know some of the history of the island, it gives you a little bit more of an appreciation for the place. But let's face it, it's... more

Together with some friends, my husband and I joined Sun Cruise's Corregidor Guided Island Tour. We left Manila Bay at 8:00am and arrived at Corregidor about 9:15am. It was a quick tour; no time was wasted as we went to the historical places and memorials often seen featured at TV/magazine travelogues. The morning itinerary covered the tail-end portion of the... more

I have lived in Manila for about a year and 1/2 and our recent tour of Corregidor is by far the nicest thing we have experienced in the Philippines...besides the people, of course! We booked our travel through Sun Tours, and everything was top notch. The ferry was very clean and comfortable, showing historical videos along the way and offering... more

I took a tour of Corregidor Island in June 2007.. and it was one of the best vacation tours ever. Leaving from the Manila waterfront via Sun Cruises, the ferry ride is about an hour long, and includes a thorough history lesson of the island fortress. It is a beautiful island, and our tour bus guide was great. The Malinta... more

This is one of the few places to visit where you can't go wrong. Beauty, history, beaches, quiet and no pollution. Consider the day tour as only an introduction to this island. Spending one or to nights at the Corregidor Inn will allow you the time to explore at your leisure. There is a lot of information about this island... more
