A Corregidor Island tour in Manila

Not just one of the most important things to see in Manila, Corregidor Island is also one of the most important historical military sites in Asia.

As a tourist, it's possible to visit Corregidor Island, but you need to do a bit of planning to join one of the Corregidor Island tours. To help, I've put together this information.

  • The story of Corregidor Island in World War II
  • Things to see on Corregidor Island today
  • My tips for visiting Corregidor Island

Control this island, you control Manila. It’s a maxim that explains why Corregidor Island has always been considered so important – and why it was the scene of such heavy fighting in the Second World War, as the Japanese advanced on the Philippines.

Even when the soldiers knew the end was upon them, they never gave up. This small island had held out against some of the most determined attackers, against all odds. The soldiers had every reason to be proud and so they fought on.

The date was May 6, 1942 and it was the Americans (with the help of the Filipinos) who were fighting to protect Corregidor Island this time. I say ‘this time’ because Corregidor has changed hands many times over the centuries.

Why is Corregidor Island so important?

The position of Corregidor Island in Manila Bay makes it an extremely strategic island for anyone wanting to attack or defend Manila. For this reason, it was the scene of incredibly heavy fighting during the Second World War.

What is Corregidor Island today?

These days, Corregidor Island is a war memorial to the American and Filipino soldiers who died here. Many of the original buildings and military infrastructure have been left in ruins out of respect for those who fought on the island.

Can you visit Corregidor Island?

Corregidor Island is technically open to visitors, but it’s only accessible by private ferry. Since the pandemic, those ferry trips have been very limited, meaning it can be difficult to reach Corregidor Island sometimes.

This rock rising out of the water is situated at a strategic point of Manila Bay and is one of the most important defences for the capital of the Philippines. Whoever holds the island can control the maritime access to the country’s key port.

It’s for this reason that, during the Second World War, the Japanese were so intent on claiming it. It was the key to their planned conquest of the Pacific.

Corregidor Island in World War II

For months the Japanese bombarded the island, throwing everything they had at it.

From December 1941 until May, bombs rained down and large guns shot at Corregidor. Japanese aircraft flew more than 600 missions and dropped more than 1700 bombs. Meanwhile, the artillery pieces fired consistently.

It’s estimated that on the night of heaviest fire, more than 16,000 shells hit the island.

When the Japanese finally landed on Corregidor on the night of May 5, the men waiting for them fought back as best they could. They were terribly outnumbered, though, and were running low on resources. You can only imagine how weak they would have been too.

The months of attacks had meant they could hardly get any supplies. They were eating just 800 grams of food a day and drinking water just twice.

But they knew how important Corregidor was. They weren’t just fighting for their lives but, as far as they knew, for the future of the world.

In the end, the island fell to the Japanese. The commander sent a message to President Franklin Roosevelt:  “There is a limit of human endurance, and that point has long been passed” . The remaining Americans and Filipinos, waving white flags, surrendered.

The story of the island doesn’t end there. The Japanese, with control of Corregidor, were able to take Manila Bay. It was the finest port in the Far East and they used it to expand their advance. The overnight battle on this small island meant the fall of Asia.

The tide turned a few years later and Corregidor was retaken from the Japanese in February 1945. This was the last major military action it would see.

Since the Spanish first established a base on the island in 1570, it had also been taken – and held – by the Dutch, the British, the Americans, and the Japanese. But finally Corregidor Island was at peace.

Now, when you visit Corregidor Island, you’ll be able to trace much of this history. But being able to land here peacefully is relatively new in the site’s long history.

Things to see on Corregidor Island

Until recently, the island knew nothing but war, so it’s fitting that’s what you see when you visit. All across Corregidor are the ruins of the military base run by the Americans and Filipinos during the Second World War.

The buildings that were destroyed by bombs have been left that way and others, destroyed by time, have been secured but not rebuilt. The large bases for the guns are still there and, in many cases, the guns are too.

The barracks are just skeletons but they are evidence of the men who once lived here and the lives they led.

One of the most impressive things to see on Corregidor Island is the enormous tunnel complex inside a mountain.

The main tunnel, with entrances at each end, is 250 metres long and about 7 metres wide. 24 smaller tunnels of about 50 metres come off it in both directions.

Originally it was designed as bomb-proof storage but, when the Japanese siege became too much, it was used as a bunker, a hospital and a command centre.

It was from here inside Malinta Tunnel that General Douglas MacArthur had his headquarters and the President of the Philippines had his seat of government at one point.

Around the island are walking trails – and even bike trails – that allow you to explore the heritage that remains. These days, there’s also a fair bit of interesting flora and animal life to look out for.

Corregidor isn’t massive and you could walk around the whole thing on your own if you wanted, but there wouldn’t be time to do that and get the detailed visit with all the historical information that’s usually offered with a tour.

Visiting Corregidor Island

To get to Corregidor Island, you need to go by boat. However, there are no public transport options, so you’ll need to use a private ferry.

Unfortunately, since the coronavirus pandemic, the usual ferry operator has shut down and access to Corregidor Island has been fairly patchy, with limited information about what’s available.

Tours (including boat transfers) restarted in the middle of 2022, just on Saturdays and Sundays, but then stopped again.

The tours and transfers began again in January 2023, but they are only happening on specific days.

UPDATE MAY 2023: There are currently some tours going to Corregidor Island on the following dates – Monday 1 May, Saturday 6 May, Saturday 13 May, Saturday 20 May.

The tours cost 4500 php (U$80) and includes roundtrip boat transfers, island entrance fee, historical tram tour with guide, Malinta Tunnel light show, and a buffet lunch by the beach.

The boat leaves Manila at 06:00 and gets back at 16:30.

To book a spot, get in touch with Corregidor Foundation Inc on its website or by email: [email protected] .

It’s also possible you may be able to get a tour company in Manila that can arrange a boat to Corregidor Island, but I haven’t been able to find one. (Please drop me a note and let me know if you do know of one!)

Normally, when the boats are running regularly, most tourists book a tour package with the ferry company which includes ground transportation around the island.

If you want a bit of independence and a bit more time to explore, you also used to be able stay overnight in the hotel on the island. Many people who choose this option take the tour during the day and then have the evening and next morning to explore for themselves once the tourist groups have left.

It’s a very quiet place to spend time in. Far from hectic Manila, there’s just the wind in the trees and the lapping of the water on the shore. It’s hard to imagine how noisy and chaotic it must have been when the bombs were dropping and the guns shooting.

We should be thankful for the peace now but not forget the lives that were lost here and the heroism of those who held out for so long, determined to protect Corregidor against all odds.

A place of such pivotal wartime importance…so cool that you got that chance to see it in person. Great photos!

Yeah, I really didn’t know anything about it before I went so it was really interesting to learn all about how important it was during the Second World War. And, you’re right, seeing it in person really helps you to understand what the people based here would have gone through.

My grandfather was a part of the group of american soldiers taken POW here in 1942. I’d like to know if you could tell me more detail about what each photo represents? I’m just doing a bunch of research off the backend of his memoir from 1995. If you know anything about each photo’s contents more specifically it’d be awesome to know.

Corregidor Island Tour From Siargao: Complete Guide

Corregidor Island Tour From Siargao: Complete Guide

Corregidor Island is found just off the coast of Siargao. It has several beautiful beaches and coves but it is well known for its palm tree-covered hills, which visitors can reach after undertaking a small hike from the beach. A Corregidor Island tour is part of many of the island-hopping trips that leave Siargao every day.

Table of Contents

WHERE IS CORREGIDOR ISLAND

Corregidor Island (also known as Casolian Island is south of the popular surf island Siargao in the south of the Philippines. There are a number of smaller islands nearby Siargao that are popular for island hopping, the most popular route is the day-trip to Daku, Guyam, and Naked Island .

From Siargao, it is about a 45-minute boat journey if you leave General Luna on a classic, outrigger boat. It’s important to note that on Google Maps, the island is listed as ‘Casolian Island’. There is another island in the Philippines, closer to Manila, which is also called Corregidor Island and shows up when you search it on Google Maps.

HOW TO GET TO CORREGIDOR ISLAND

To get to Corregidor Island from Siargao Island the most common way is to join a group tour that includes Corregidor but also another one or two island visits. For less than $25 USD, you can visit Corregidor Island and another spot to complete your day-trip. It is possible to book a private boat tour but this will be much more expensive. There are no public transportation options.

BOOKING A TOUR TO CORREGIDOR ISLAND FROM SIARGAO ISLAND

To book your Siargao Island hopping experience online, the best price and most reliable one is  this activity on Klook . This activity includes four islands all in one day. You get to visit Corregidor, Naked Island, Daku Island, and Guyam. It costs slightly more than the regular three-island trip but that’s because you get four islands and visit them all in one day!

The price is very similar to what you will find at the street vendors (and likely on the same boat anyway). You get your full day of island hopping and lunch included. It’s hard to go wrong.

Book your tour now: FOUR ISLAND TOUR (Corregidor, Naked, Daku, Guyam)

I’ve done the tour as the three-island, four-island and even Corregidor in combination with Mamon & La Janosa. It’s fair to say I’ve spent some time island-hopping out of Siargao.

MY EXPERIENCE ON CORREGIDOR ISLAND, SIARGAO

I’ve been to Corregidor Island twice now and both times were a fantastic experience. However, they were on different island-hopping itineraries. On the first occasion, I did the  FOUR ISLAND TOUR (Corregidor, Naked, Daku, Guyam)  and on the second occasion, two years later, I visited Mamon Island and then Corregidor.

There are many ways to include Corregidor Island in your itinerary. Therefore, in this blog post, I will just share my experience mostly about Corregidor Island not all of the islands included in the itinerary as it can vary.

Corregidor Island is one of my favorite islands to visit near Siargao because it has a small element of adventure rather than just the regular beach hangouts you find at the other islands like Guyam and Naked. Before our boat docked, I sent the drone up so I could show you guys an aerial of just how pristine the waters are around the island!

We jumped off the boat and met our guide. The guide is always organized by your boat crew and it is a requirement. It’s a great way for the local residents to monitor the visitors to the island and to make a small living by guiding tourists up the hill to visit the palm trees and check out the views of Corregidor Island. The walk takes about 30-minutes each way in total and you probably want about 30-minutes at the top of the hill to explore the palms, take some photos and enjoy the view.

So, after finding our guide, we set off through the village where karaoke was blaring and the little kids all offered high fives and beautiful smiles! It’s such a picturesque village with a small church, palm trees and a grass corridor through the middle that connects the beach to the top of the hill. It’s a nice walk and gives you some insight into how the island residents are living.

The walk leaves the village and veers into the trees as you begin to enjoy a little bit of incline in the humid conditions. If you aren’t used to hiking or the humidity you may find this walk quite uncomfortable, even though it is very short and easy. It’s exposed at the top of the hill so packing sunscreen and wearing a hat is ideal. Many people get very burnt here as they hike in swimwear.

Once you reach the first little summit, you are now in the land of palm trees. It’s a pretty unique landscape of long grass, a collection of scattered palms and views of the ocean on all sides. There aren’t many places like it!

There are lots of little paths shooting off in all directions but basically there is no wrong or right way to explore Corregidor Island. Both times I’ve visited, we headed out all the way to the farthest point on the island to check out the coves on either side. Along the way, you will find a bent palm tree that has become a bit of a photo-op spot, which I’m sure your guide will point out for you.

To be honest, the best thing to do is just wander around and find new angles and explore different areas. With hundreds of palms up on the hill, it truly is a sight to behold and I’ve found different spots on both of my visits.

corregidor tour klook

After exploring the palm tree hill, we made the trek back down into the village. With 40-minutes left before our boat left to head back to Siargao, we got into an intense sand-volleyball match and really soaked in the island vibes. 

If you want to read about the tri-island hopping nearby that can also include Corregidor Island on the itinerary I’ll leave that blog post link here:  SIARGAO ISLAND HOPPING – GUYAM, DAKU & NAKED ISLAND

And again, if you want to book the four-island hopping trip that includes Corregidor Island, Guyam, Daku and Naked all in one day that link is here: FOUR ISLAND TOUR

CORREGIDOR ISLAND MAP

As I mentioned earlier, on Google Maps you will find it named Casolian Island instead of Corregidor Island. However, everywhere on Siargao and all of the tour operators most definitely call the island Corregidor.

WHERE I SUGGEST TO STAY ON SIARGAO

Budget Hostel in General Luna: The White House :  The best budget option for dorm style/hostel accommodation on Siargao Island is called  The White House  in General Luna. For just $10 a night you can grab yourself a dorm bed.

Value Pick in General Luna:   Lampara Siargao Boutique Hostel : Lampara Siargao is an oceanfront boutique hostel conveniently situated on the exotic island of Siargao. 

Luxury Pick in General Luna:  Nay Palad Hideaway : Nay Palad Hideaway is one of the most luxurious accommodations in the Philippines. With its beautiful outdoor pool, terrace with either garden or ocean views, comfy seating areas, and is the resort you will see featured on Instagram all the time!

WHERE I STAYED ON SIARGAO ISLAND

Siargao is pretty straightforward when it comes to picking a region to stay. 90% of people choose to stay somewhere near General Luna. All of the bars, restaurants, tours, ports, and hotels are near General Luna and Cloud 9 surf break.

There are a couple of other regions you could stay in like Pacifico but unless you are purposely looking for isolation, General Luna is your spot. So what are my suggestions for where to stay in General Luna?

First, I’ll tell you where I stayed. Because I stayed for over a month, I managed to find an Airbnb . It was 4 blocks back from the beach, had wi-fi, A/C, a private bathroom, patio and inside were just two bunk beds. It was super basic and I stayed here with two mates and my sister. It was 900 USD for the entire month, which we split four ways so it was just $225 each.

There’s a photo below of our sweet Airbnb pad on Siargao Island.

Best time to visit Siargao Island

The best time to visit Siargao depends on what you are looking for. Many consider the best time of year when the weather is best but that also means crowds. I will give you a few options below about when is the best month to visit Siargao Island :

September: Siargao hosts the ‘Cloud 9 Surfing Cup’ each September, an official WSL Pro event

July – November: The best time period for surfing in Siargao is July until November. The easterly Mindanao current provides the islands with waves that came from the deepest regions of the Pacific.

March-May: If you aren’t as interested in the surf but are craving that sun. March until May should bring you guaranteed sunny days. But it’s the Philippines so you can’t guarantee it.

siargao island pictures photo gallery

Where is Siargao Island Located

Siargao is located in the region of Mindanao in the Philippines. Mindanao is the southern region of the Philippines.

How to get to Siargao Island

When I visited in 2017 there was only one flight a day from Manila and one from Cebu. Now there are 10-15 flights a day so the question of how to get to Siargao has become much easier. Without going into deep detail on every single option. These are the options for how to get to Siargao:

  • Fly from Manila $90-$100
  • Fry from Cebu  $90-$100
  • Ferry from Surigao City to Siargao Island $5

There are ferries that leave from Manila and Cebu but they go to Surigao City first and then Siargao Island.

Hello! Can you personally recommend doing the tri island with Corregidor Island in 1 day or you would rather do Corregidor Island with Mamon separately?

It’s going to be my first time in July, staying for 7 nights and another Siargao trip perhaps in April-May 2023 because I still have a paid 7-night booking at the another hotel that’s reopening much later hence 2 separate trips. 😆

You can get your private boat from Dapa to Corregidor for a bit cheaper. Around 1500P / 27€ / 30$ for the whole boat.

General Luna prices are going up fast.

Corregidor Tour Travel Guide – Cavite, Philippines

by LoveEatWander · March 10, 2018

Corregidor Island has been in my travel list since last year – yeah, that late. I wasn’t really into history until recently, when I added Van Ybiernas on Facebook, a history professor in De La Salle University (DLSU). His posts fueled my eagerness to learn more about my beloved Philippines, and the things that transpired in history.

Now, more than ever, I am more interested in museums, artifacts, and history that goes along with every relic that I see. So on March 1, when we received an invitation to join the familiarization tour to Corregidor Island organized by Asia Travel and Sun Cruises, I did not think twice. Indeed, the universe provides what your heart desires.

ABOUT CORREGIDOR ISLAND

Corregidor got its name from the Spanish words “to correct” because during Spanish occupation, ships containing documents for correction are sent in to the island. It also goes with several other names – The Island of Fortress, Fort Mills, The Rock, and Gibraltar of the East.

Because of its strategic location, it has been used as one of the harbor defenses of the capital during the Pacific War. The island became the last defensive position of the American and Filipino defenders after Bataan fell into Japanese hands during World War II — they fought for 27 days and finally surrendered on May 6, 1942. Corregidor’s fall signaled Japanese victory and the start of their occupation of the Philippines (1942 – 1945).

Nowadays, the place offers stunning ruins of barracks and shelters that will forever remind us of so many lives that perished in war. They are so beautiful that you will be thankful to the government in their effort in preserving every piece of these rusty, dilapidated buildings. There is something really amazing just by looking at the remains that tell a lot about what happened before, during, and after the war.

Corregidor Island Tour is perfect for those who want to see for themselves the horror and devastation of World War II in the country.

HOW TO GET TO CORREGIDOR ISLAND

Contrary to popular belief, Corregidor Island is in Cavite NOT in Bataan. The place is near the province of Bataan but it is under the jurisdiction of the province of Cavite. The easiest way to get to the island is through a ferry ride from Esplanade Seaside, near SM MOA.

Sun Cruises monopolizes the transportation to and from the island. So to reach Corregidor, you have to ride one of the ferries of Sun Cruises. Their terminal is situated in Esplanade Seaside, near SM MOA Complex. Map here.

WHAT TO SEE IN CORREGIDOR ISLAND

If you like history and wants to know more about the Philippines, Corregidor is a good option. Corregidor Island Tour is not exactly a family-friendly or kid-friendly activity because of the hot, humid weather and the day tour itself is fast-paced. Overall, however, the island tour helps a lot in appreciating history and your love for your country.

TRAVEL TIPS FOR CORREGIDOR ISLAND TOUR

CORREGIDOR OVERNIGHT TOUR: 5 Things to Do (Other than Ghost-Hunting)

By continuing to read this article, you agree to double check with the authorities or other concerned entities for the latest updates.

We watched as the sun took a dive, leaving behind a luminous, honey-colored splatter across the sky. Spending most of my time in big cities, I have learned to appreciate every moment I am treated to a clear view of a glorious sunset. And I stood there, atop the cliff, just taking it all in, not minding at all that I am in what many consider one of the most haunted places in the Philippines. Darkness was creeping in, but our tour was just beginning.

Corregidor is known by many nicknames: “Fort Mills” during the American era, “The Rock” for its terrain and fortifications, and “Gibraltar of the East” for its resemblance to Mediterranean Sea’s peninsular fortress. Because of its strategic location, at the mouth of Manila Bay, it played a pivotal role during the Pacific War. Its fall signaled the start of the Japanese occupation of the Philippines (1942-45). Thousands of souls from both sides perished in the island: most killed during battle. Others chose to end their lives instead of waving the white flag.

This violent history has made the island notorious for eerie, creepy encounters. Many choose to explore the island on a day tour and refuse to spend even just one night here. Who can blame them, really? It is the picture that media has painted, scaring would-be visitors and restricting many of those who dare to short day tours. And it’s a shame. While this island offers a lot of enlightening insights and picturesque vistas under the sun, its best is served in the dark. Here are five reasons to stay overnight in Corregidor.

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

1. Hospital Ruins Tour

Corregidor's Old Hospital

The light was dwindling when we arrived at the hospital. The surrounding forest has kept the air cool in this part of the island even when it was the middle of summer. It was our first stop, and I couldn’t believe that we were diving right into the horror. This hospital, to me, is the eeriest spot in Corregidor.

The four wings of the hospital form a cross, clearly visible when viewed from the top. It was deliberately designed that way to send a message to any aircraft overhead that it is a medical facility which, according to the Geneva Convention, must be spared. But Japan wasn’t a signatory, so when they saw the cross, they probably said, “Nah, like we care,” and went on a bombing spree anyway. What remains standing today are its walls that look as though they may crumble any time.

But that wasn’t the eeriest bit. On some of these walls were writings — messages, names, curse words — left behind by some Muslim soldiers that were slaughtered in what is known today as Jabidah Massacre.

Writings on the Wall

In 1968, soldiers from Sulu stayed in this hospital for training to execute a plan to, allegedly, infiltrate Sabah. But the plan changed and the recruits were supposed to be transferred from the island to another camp in Luzon in two batches. The second batch didn’t make it to the mainland. They were killed by the army. Only one survived. What exactly happened has been the subject of decades-long debates.

2. Sunset from Battery Grubbs

Battery Grubbs harbors two disappearing guns, artilleries that disappear from enemy view after firing. It’s one of the most important battery placements in the area. But for somebody like me who is more interested in nature than big guns, it’s best visited just before dusk as it offers a magnificent view of the sunset.

Battery Grubbs

3. Lateral Tunnels Tour

Day trippers will get to walk through the main tunnel (and enjoy the Lights and Sounds show that narrates the events at Corregidor during the Second World War), but those who stay overnight may choose to return and go deeper into the mountain.

The tunnel is where Filipino and American soldiers took shelter when the Japanese attacked. It is also where the Japanese hid when the Allied forces returned to reclaim the island. In both occasions, blood was shed. The surviving Japanese soldiers chose to do hara kiri inside the tunnel instead of surrendering. Some lateral tunnels also served as hospital. This explains the nerves that many of us felt upon entering the site, even when this is the part that most of us were looking forward to. After putting on a helmet and with a flashlight in one hand, we walked into complete darkness and saw many of the tunnel’s corners.

The Lights and Sounds show happens at the main tunnel of Malinta.

The most memorable part of our one-hour walk inside was when we were told to not make any noise so we could hear the “sound of silence.” I smirked, thinking it was just figure of speech. But when we followed his instructions, when not one of us were talking, a ringing sound began filling our ears. There is a scientific explanation to it, of course, but it was still creepy given our location. After a minute or two, one of us couldn’t take it anymore and spoke again.

4. Sunrise over the Tail End.

And if you still have the energy to beat the sunrise the next day, head back to the cliff behind the Eternal Flame of Freedom monument to witness the start of a new day. The sun emerges from the sea and rises over the island’s tail end. It’s cold, but something you wouldn’t really mind when presented with such a celestial display of wonder.

5. South Beach.

Corregidor is laced with small sand-filled coves. Although none of its beaches can rival the fairness and fineness of Boracay or El Nido, they still are great places to unwind. South Beach is probably the best and the closest to Corregidor Inn. You can also enjoy kayaking, ziplining, and other activities here.

One quirky thing about this beach is the presence of what many casually refer to as “bloodstones,” large pebbles with red markings resembling blood spatters.

Top 9 Attractions We Visited in Corregidor Island in the Philippines

corregidor tour klook

Corregidor was one of those places we’ve been wanting to visit since we were in high school. Finally, we had a chance to take a tour through its many historical locations last Saturday. Thanks to Klook , we had a hassle-free and smooth-sailing itinerary and learned so many stories about the heroic Filipino and American soldiers. The Corregidor Klook package included Sun Cruises round trip ferry transfers, tram tour around the island with an informative and approachable guide, and a lunch buffet at Topside Garden Venue.

From Esplanade Seaside Terminal, we departed from Manila at 7:30am and reached Corregidor via ferry at 9:30am. We were assigned to Tram # 1 and the tour started immediately. In this blog post, I’m sharing the best points of interest or landmarks we visited in Corregidor. This can help you visualize and learn what to expect if ever you’re also planning to go. Don’t worry if you don’t intend to stay overnight. The trip ends at about 2:30pm, and you’ll be back in Manila at around 4-4:30pm. 😉

History of Corregidor

Corregidor was named after the Spanish word “Corregir” which literally translate to “to correct.” Why? In the past, all ships that sailed into Manila had to pass through Corregidor for the required check and correction of papers. Corregidor was used to signal the Manila government of the coming of hostile ships. It was also used as a penitentiary and corrections institution.

Known as “the Rock” due to its fortifications, Corregidor island was a significant site during World War II. It was the last bastion to fall to Japanese forces.

In December 1941, the Japanese Imperial Army went to invade the Philippines immediately after they bombed Pearl Harbor. At that time, the military force under the command of Gen. Douglas MacArthur carried out a delaying action at Bataan. It was from the island that Philippine President Manuel Quezon and General MacArthur fled for Australia in February 1942 with Lt. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright justify in command.

After the fall of Bataan on April 9, 1942, the Filipino and American forces held out at Corregidor for 27 days against the greatest odds. Alas, May 6, 1942 saw their rations depleted; the Allied forces surrendered Corregidor to Lt. Gen. Homma Masaharu of the Japanese Imperial Army after having successfully halted the Japanese advance on Australia. It was two years and ten months later in March 1945 when General MacArthur recaptured Corregidor.

Corregidor Day Trip From Manila: Top 9 Attractions We Visited

1. Lorcha Dock (MacArthur Statue)

Our first stop was the Lorcha Dock. There are two beliefs about the history about this place. First, it was thought out as the point where Gen. Douglas MacArthur departed the island to Australia in a submarine. Second, it’s believed to be the location where MacArthur’s personal belongings were dumped after he justify the island. A statue of the famed American General MacArthur waving stood a few meters by the dock.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Roch Sioco ‱ rochkirstin.com (@rochkirstin)

Lorcha Dock is a small boat port a few meters away from Sun Cruises’ Ferry Terminal. Inscribed below MacArthur’s statue is his last words, “I shall return.” However, according to three credible sources, MacArthur actually justify from the North Dock, aboard a motor torpedo boat with US Navy Lt. John Bulkeley. Lorcha Dock was merely the location where MacArthur’s personal belongings were dumped after he justify the island.

2. Mile-Long Barracks

Mile-Long Barracks is a three-story concrete building which was constructed to be hurricane-proof. It was used for the billeting of American officers and enlisted personnel detailed at the garrison. The entire length of the building measures about 1,520 feet that it became popularly known as the world’s longest military barracks. Although it is just less than a third of a mile long, it was, however, commonly referred to as the Mile-Long Barracks. The headquarters of Gen. Douglas MacArthur was also located in this building.

3. Battery Way

Battery Way played a very limited role during the Philippines Campaign in the Spring of 1942, only becoming active in the last week of the battle. Named after Lt. Henry N. Way of the 4th U.S. Artillery, it was a battery of four 12-inch mortars. Its exposure to Japanese artillery, air attack, and its limited supply of high explosive shells greatly diminished its effectiveness. By the time of the Japanese landings on Corregidor island on May 5-6, 1942, only one mortar tube of Battery Way remained serviceable, the other two having been damaged beyond repair by Japanese artillery.

4. Topside Garden Venue

We had a sumptuous buffet lunch at Topside Garden Venue, the only restaurant that serves food to tourists and guests of the Historical Tram Tour. This dreamy setting can accommodate up to 180 people at a time.

5. Corregidor Spanish Lighthouse

The light station was one of the most important lights in the archipelago. It was established in the 1850s to guide ships to the entrance of Manila Bay on their way to the port of Manila. This light occupies the converging point of two lines of approach for vessels from the China Sea which steer for the entrance of the Manila Bay.

6. Malinta Tunnel

We watched an audio-visual presentation inside the tunnel (ticket costs PhP 200 per person) and further learned how Malinta Tunnel served during the Battle of Corregidor. The Malinta Tunnel is a tunnel complex built by the US Army Corps of Engineers. It was initially used as a bomb-proof storage and personnel bunker but was later equipped as a 1,000-bed hospital.

7. Pacific War Memorial Museum

The Pacific War Memorial Museum is a recommended place to visit especially if you want to see photos and items that were found in Corregidor after the war. The museum features the soldiers’ personal belongings like clothing, uniforms, plates and utensils, and some weapons. At the far back end, you’ll see a map of Corregidor and the spots that have infiltrated and destroyed. These photos show accounts and evidences of what transpired during the war.

8. Japanese Garden of Peace (Japanese Cemetery)

The Japanese Cemetery in Corregidor was said to be built by the Americans. The park includes a prayer area, shrines, and pavilion that houses photographs and memorabila. It’s a quiet place where visitors can pray for those who lost their lives during the war. Nowadays, the Japanese Garden of Peace also symbolizes the peace and friendship of Japan and the Philippines.

9. Filipino Heroes Memorial

The last attraction we visited was the Filipino Heroes Memorial, located at the tail end of the island. Designed by famed Filipino Architect Francisco Manosa, the Filipino Heroes Memorial in Corregidor was inaugurated in 1987. It features 14 murals of revolutionary moments of Philippine history which were carved by sculptor Manuel Casal on bronze. This place also has the statue of President Manual L. Quezon, a Filipno Woman, and a military cap in honor of our fallen soldiers.

This brief guide to Corregidor Island will help you plan your trip. It contains information on what to do, eat, and drink as well as the must-see spots and the best hotels.

ABOUT SEE & DO EAT & DRINK STAY BUDGET ADVICE

Travel Insurance

Located at the entrance of Manila Bay, Corregidor Island is just 48 kilometers west of Manila and one-hour away via ferry.  Given its location, Corregidor Island, along with neighboring islands including El Fraille Island, Caballo Island, and Carabao Island, has been fortified to serve as harbor defenses of Manila Bay and Manila during World War II.

Corregidor Island played an important role in Philippine history as it became an American military reservation, a temporary location of Philippine Government where Manuel L. Quezon was inaugurated as president, and the last to surrender to the Japanese troops in 1942.  Filipino and American forces recaptured the island after almost three years.

Before the American Colonial period, Corregidor was also used as a signal outpost to warn Manila of approaching enemies and as a station for customs inspection under Spanish rule.  It is also how the island got its name since Corregidor comes from the Spanish word corregir which means “to correct”.  Isla del Corregidor literally translates to Island of the Corrector taking into consideration the Spanish customs system.

Nowadays, Corregidor Island serves as a historic monument and a tourist destination where tourists can see various military installations and buildings that bear witness to the war that ravaged many lives of not only Filipinos and Americans but Japanese soldiers as well.

Best Time to Visit

It’s best to visit the Philippines during the dry season .  Dry season in the Philippines spans from November through April .  These are the summer months in this country.

Be aware that temperatures and humidity levels are particularly high in April and May .

The best time to be a beach bum and explore the islands is from March to May.

TIP:  This guide recommends that booking for Corregidor Island summer trips should be done as early as possible, at least a month before your travel dates, since resorts get fully booked early.

The period from June to October is the rainy (wet) season and is best avoided due to the high possibility of typhoons. The typhoons can not only be destructive, but most tours and activities are cancelled under such circumstances.  Transportation via plane and boat is also seriously impacted as well.  This happens frequently so beware!

This guide recommends traveling to Corregidor Island in April-May or in November-December , just before and just after the rainy season. This will likely bring fewer crowds, yet pleasant weather, and is also a great time to score a travel deal.

1 | Pacific War Memorial Museum

The Pacific War Memorial was erected by the US Government in 1968 to remember Filipino and American soldiers who lost their lives defending the country and the Pacific during the war.  The structure is a rotunda with an oculus where light during daylight hours falls on the altar located directly under the said oculus.  The museum is a treasure trove of items such as old photographs, money, identification cards, and diaries as well as weapons and uniforms used during the war.  There are also statues of soldiers and a bust of General Douglas McArthur, the leader of the troop during that time.

Behind the museum is the Eternal Flame of Freedom, a 12-meter high Corten steel structure with lights powered by solar energy.  The structure symbolizes eternal freedom as well as commemorates the Filipino and American war heroes.

2 | Malinta Tunnel

Built by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Malinta Tunnel is a tunnel complex that was used as a bomb-proof storage, personnel bunker, and 1,000-bed hospital during the American era.  It was the headquarters of McArthur and the USAFFE as well as the seat of the Commonwealth Government of the Philippines under President Manuel L. Quezon and Vice President Sergio Osmeña.

Presently, the tunnel is being used as the venue of an audio-visual presentation by Lamberto V. Avellana, the first National Artist of the Philippines for Film.  The presentation features the events that happened during World War II including the reluctant evacuation of McArthur and President Quezon to Mindanao .

3 | Ruins of Mile-Long Barracks

Although it measures less than a mile, it is commonly referred to as the Mile-long Barracks as the combined length of the structure from first to third floor is equivalent to a mile.  It is said to be the world’s longest military and accommodated 8,000 soldiers at the time.

The barracks was built as hurricane-proof however it was severely damaged during the war and what remains is the skeleton of the building that has seen how Filipino and American forces fought for freedom.

4 | Filipino Heroes Memorial

Located at the tail end of Corregidor Island is the Filipino Heroes Memorial, a 6,000-meter complex which features 14 murals chronicling the major Philippine battles from 15th century up to the present day.  The memorial was designed by Francisco Mañosa and the murals were carved by Manuel Casas.  The complex was inaugurated in 1992 making it the recent addition to several historic attractions on the island.

5 | Japanese Garden of Peace

Funded by the Japan Government, the Japanese Garden of Peace is dedicated to all the soldiers killed during the war.  It is also located at the tail end of the island and features markers with Japanese inscriptions, prayer area, shrines, and a pavilion containing photographs and other memorabilias.  Anti-aircraft guns line the edge of the hill and a Buddha monument towers over them.

Despite the Japanese being the ones who attacked and captured the island, the memorial is not only to honor those who sacrificed their lives but also to symbolize the friendship between Japan and the Philippines.

6 | Corregidor Lighthouse

The historic lighthouse of Corregidor Island was constructed and first lit in 1853 during the Spanish era.  Together with the one in Caballos Island, Corregidor Island lighthouse was the second oldest lighthouse in the Philippines next to the lighthouse at the mouth of Pasig River.  The lighthouse stands on the highest point of the island and measures 42 feet from the base, hence the effective height of 693 feet above sea level.

The lighthouse was heavily damaged during the fight against the Japanese and was rebuilt in 1950 using the remains from the previous structure.  The lighthouse has been running on solar power since the 1990s.

The view deck at the top of the island is a great spot to see the island and the areas surrounding it.  At the base is a souvenir shop selling shirts, old paper bills, and other memorabilias.

7 | Old guns and mortars

Remains of guns, mortars, and other weapons used during the war can still be seen in various parts of the island up to this day.  These weapons have been preserved and presently serve as tourist attractions of the island apart from being reminders of what it took to achieve freedom and peace we are enjoying today.

Suggested Budget

Use the chart below to get an idea of how much to budget daily.  Actual amounts will depend on YOUR travel style. Keep in mind these are daily averages 
 some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less. Prices are in USD.

Travel Costs

Accommodation.

A bed in a  hostel  dorm costs from 350 PHP ($7 USD), but smaller dorms can cost from 500 PHP ($10 USD).  For a private double, prices start around 700 PHP ($14 USD).

Most  budget hotels  begin at 700 PHP ($14 USD) per night for a double room and usually include free wifi and breakfast.  For  a three-star hotel , prices begin around 1,400 PHP ($28 USD) per night.  AirBnB is also widespread throughout the country, with private rooms starting from as little as 500 PHP ($10 USD) per night.  For entire apartments, expect to pay at least 1,400 PHP ($28 USD) per night.

Resorts and luxury accommodations  vary greatly from 1,400 PHP ($28 USD) to 5,000+ PHP ($100+ USD).  However, there are some really nice resorts and luxury accommodations which are surprisingly affordable.

We use and recommend booking online to save money using Booking.com ,  HostelWorld ,  Agoda , and  Expedia . 

Local food is extremely cheap, with street food costing under 50 PHP ($1USD).  For an inexpensive meal at a local restaurant, prices start around 100 PHP ($2 USD).  For a meal at a mid-range restaurant with drinks and table service, expect to pay from 200 PHP ($4 USD).  Knowing that their target customers are primarily tourists, Western food venues can be pricey compared to Filipino food.  Also, some of the ingredients need to be imported, which contributes to the higher cost. Western food (burgers, pizza, pasta, etc.) is much more expensive but is still relatively affordable at around 200 PHP ($4 USD) for a meal and drink.

Fast food like McDonalds will cost around 200 PHP ($4 USD).  A beer at the bar will cost around 50-100 PHP ($1–2 USD).

A week’s worth of groceries will cost between 300-600 PHP ($6-12 USD) per person.  However, food in this country is so inexpensive, and kitchens & refrigerators are hard to come by, I don’t recommend cooking your meals here since there is plenty of delicious street food to eat at very cheap prices. You won’t make it as good as they do and the food is too delicious to miss!

Transportation

There are many modes of transportation available in the Philippines and each varies greatly. 

Public Transportation is cheap.  Bus services on the islands are inexpensive.  Local buses (called jeepneys) are the most common type of transportation in towns and cities. The fare is usually between 15-25 PHP ($.20–.50 USD).

On islands without a bus system, a taxi or tricycle is the only form of transport with fares starting at 50-500 PHP ($1-$10) USD for short trips. 

Taxis are everywhere, and they’re very cheap.  Most fares shouldn’t cost you more than 500 PHP ($10 USD) around town.  

To get between islands, you’ll need to take a boat or to fly.  There are ferries that connect the island together since they aren’t too far apart but, generally speaking, flights are the most realistic option. 

Flights between islands usually cost about 2,000-3500 PHP ($40-70 USD).  However, this isn’t the cheapest way to travel.  It’s only recommended if you have limited time. 

We recommend booking online to save money using: WayAway or Expedia .

Attractions & Activities

Most attractions and activities in the Philippines are pretty cheap. Most attractions throughout the area are FREE to enter, though some of the more well known and popular ones cost 5-100 PHP ($.10-$2 USD) to enter. 

Depending on the activity, most day tours only cost around 1,000-1,500 PHP ($20-30 USD), oftentimes less.  You have more bargaining power if you go with a group. If you are expecting to do some climbing, remember to pack some warm layers. It gets cold at the top!  

Other activities such as Island Hopping, scuba diving, helmet diving, swimming with whale sharks, jungle trekking, canyoning, ATVs, jet skis, wakeboarding, cruises, parasailing, horseback riding, cultural experiences, and tours can cost as much as 1,250-5,000+ PHP ($25-100+ USD).

The Philippines is one of the least expensive places to learn how to scuba dive. Learning to scuba dive usually costs about 15,000-20,000 PHP ($300-400 USD), but often includes FREE accommodation for the duration of the course, which lasts three or four days.

When traveling to Corregidor, make sure to book your tour in advance to secure a slot as they are limited.

Tips & Hacks

The following are our Top 10 Tips when visiting this destination in the Philippines:

  • Be aware that a tourist VISA is only 30 days. You can extend it upon arrival, or within the first 30 days, for an additional 30 days for a fee of approximately 3,000 pesos.
  • Don’t buy into the fear factor. The Philippines has an unjustified reputation of being a dangerous place. It’s true there are security guards everywhere, but that is to deter theft.
  • Manila is NOT the Philippines. Get outside of the cities to see the real Philippines.
  • Don’t over plan. Boats, buses, and even airplane schedules are notoriously unreliable. Be flexible.
  • Check the weather. The weather varies greatly throughout the Philippines daily.
  • Typhoons can have a huge impact on your plans. Account for this when planning your trip.
  • It’s not cool to raise your voice or show outward frustration in public.
  • Be polite at all times. Realize that your country’s sense of humor may be different from Filipino humor and take this into account when interacting with Filipinos and while in public places.
  • Things move at a slower pace. Accept it 
 don’t get frustrated 
 but do account for it.
  • Don’t drink the tap water
 but stay hydrated! Save money by buying large bottles (6-10 liters) of water and using it to fill your water bottle or hydration bladder in your backpack.

Money Matters

The Philippines has its own currency called the Philippine Peso. Banks, ATMs, and money-changers can be found on the island. If you are exploring the neighboring islands or provinces, make sure to bring enough cash that will last until the next time you get to an ATM or bank since most tours, transportation, and budget accommodations only accept cash.

Health & Safety

While overall the Philippines is a safe country to visit, as is Corregidor Island, you need to use common sense just as you would in any country, especially when traveling, and in a city, town, or area you are unfamiliar with.

Consult your hotel or resort front desk as they are more likely to give you reliable information than a random stranger on the street. Be careful when approaching strangers and selective about who you approach. Always pay attention to your gut feeling and follow it.

Staying Connected

You need to have a local-based SIM card in order to stay connected when in the Philippines. Network giants such as Globe and Smart have SIM cards you can use to make calls, send text messages, and also to connect to the Internet. A SIM card costs around 50 PHP ($1 USD) and usually comes with a FREE load worth 50 PHP ($1 USD). You can buy a card containing a code you can enter on your phone to replenish your load or buy an electronic load that is available almost anywhere in the city.

While you may not have problems with signal strength when in the city, it is not always the case when on islands or in remote areas of a province.  So when arranging for transportation pick up, say when renting a boat to take you to and pick you up from the island, it would be best that you make it clear what time you need to be picked up before the boatman leaves.

Recommended Travel Apps

Apps for smartphones and tablets can be useful both before you leave and while you’re traveling.  Most are available for iPhones and Android phones.

Things to Remember

This guide recommends to take note of the following while traveling on Corregidor Island or in the Philippines in general.

There is a nationwide ban which prohibits smoking in public places including indoors, the streets, on sidewalks, in restaurants , and on public transportation, requiring smokers to use designated smoking areas.  Selling tobacco to and purchasing from or for minors is also prohibited. Violators are subject to fines (up to 5,000 PHP | $100 USD) and even 4 months in prison.

The minimum legal drinking age is 18.  Alcohol such as beer and hard drinks can easily be bought in grocery and convenience stores.  The most common alcoholic beverage is beer, generally served cold.  Local alcoholic drinks include tuba (coconut wine which is usually very strong) and potent moonshine-like clear liquors made from sugar or fruit.  Imported beer, wine, and name brand hard alcohol are available but expensive.

Drugs are illegal in the Philippines.  Don’t use, buy, or sell any non-prescription drugs while in the Philippines 
 not even marijuana.  It is considered an especially heinous crime to buy from, for, or sell drugs to children.  The penalties are severe 
 up to and including death.

Public nudity is illegal in the Philippines and is not tolerated.  Most locals consider it offensive.  There are laws which prohibit provocative and erotic clothing and swimwear, therefore carefully consider your clothings and swimwear choices to make certain they are not too revealing.

Foreigners & Expats

If you are not a Filipino citizen, remember that you are a guest when visiting this country 
 be certain to act accordingly.  Respect the people, their customs, and the environment and wlidlife. You can be deported and banned 
 so behave 
 but have fun and enjoy all that this wonderful destination has to offer.
