Corregidor Tour Packages

One of the most celebrated battles of World War II took place in this tadpole-shaped island more than 60 years ago, but the thunderous roar of the guns reverberates as a whole new adventure unfolds in Corregidor.

It is the largest of the five islands in between the shores of the legendary provinces of Bataan and Cavite, both homes to the country's beloved heroes. The reminiscence of the Pacific War, however, is one educational attraction of a trip to the island, the best part is to experience life here amidst luscious green hills and pristine blue waters

MILE LONG BARRACKS

The most photographed area in Corregidor, this 1,520 foot barracks served as quarters of some 2,000 U.S. Officials including General Douglas MacArthur. What was once a recreational indoor pool can still be seen today.

SPANISH LIGHT HOUSE

This light house used to be a checkpoint, which alerts Manila of an approaching galleon. This spot offers a spectacular view of the Manila Bay, the South China Sea, and the whole island.

BATTERIES

The gallant guns of the Pacific are distributed in different parts of the island. Battery Way is armed with four 12-inch mortars that can fire in any direction. It has the last gun to fire out before the fall to the Japanese. Battery Hearn's seacoast gun is the longest in the island with a firing range of 17 miles. Battery Geary contains the most effective guns in Corregidor. Battery Crocket has two 12-inc seacoast guns mounted on carriages that move the guns that disappear behind a parapet. The Americans built a total of 20 batteries in the island.

MALINTA TUNNEL

The highlight of the visit would be the 30-minute light-and-sound show at the tunnel, which chronicles the significance of the place as it served as center of American operations during WWII. Former President Manuel L. Quezon and Vice-President Sergio Osmeña took their oath on December 30, 1941 under this hideaway to begin their second term in office. This passage was converted into a hospital, arsenal, and fuel reservoir, where thousands of Filipino, American, and Japanese died.

PACIFIC WAR MEMORIAL

Located at the highest point of the island, it was completed at the cost of US$1.23 million in 1968, and one of the only two memorials built by the US Government to mark the war, the other is at Pearl Harbor.

FILIPINOS HEROES MEMORIAL

This landmark contains sculptor Manuel Casal's 14 murals depicting some of the country's historic battles from the Battle of Mactan in 1521 to the EDSA Peopel Power Revolution in 1986
