Some geologists theorize that Corregidor was once part of a huge volcano that erupted on one side and gradually eroded to become partly invisible beneath the sea. It is called "The Rock" because it served as the major bastion of Philippine's Allies during World War II. « less

Room has A/C but it does not have a TV set. Tours are excellent since the tour guide speaks Tagalog, English, and Japanese well. Food choices are very expensive! FOr a more detailed review, please visit me at http://isangosongligaw.blogspot.sg/2013/05/osong-ligaw-goes-to-corregidor.html

It is history all over again. Americans vs Japs. You will see ruins all over the island as well as gun batterries. What I like best the big canon that is supposed to aimed at Manila. The tour takes nearly the whole day. Be rready for advanture!

Great site seeing tour, but it is pretty exhausting. The museums are worth anything, but touring the broken buildings and the huge guns and the escape tunnel of MacArthur is pretty neat.

I had a Saturday stay over on a recent business trip and decided to stay in Manila and to book the day tour of this historic island. This was the highlight of the entire trip. The booking was easy, the ferry ride was comfortable, the tour guide was outstanding. He shared the history of the island occupation and conflicts in... More

Having watched before a documentary about the island, I was disappointed how little I learnt on this tour. On the ship, there were videos shown which I could not understand as it was too loud for the sound. Before checking in, we were forced to pay a fuel surcharge of 100 peso, a first on a ship or maybe a... More

I always wanted to visit Corregidor, but only this year I get to finally visit the Island along with my 4 friends. Maybe because my grandfather serve in the U.S Army as a soldier. According to my relatives, he was part of the death march and escape that harsh journey to Bataan. So this is some sort of nostalgic trip... More

I learned a lot from the trip. Corregidor is filled with so much history, and the way the tours are arranged to this island has made the learning experience a very fun experience too.

The trip was well organized by sun cruises, inc. We learned a lot about world war 2 from our guide nikki. We commend her for her honesty when she returned the iphone5 of my friend. A must see attraction for every filipino

This was my second trip to Corregidor. My first was the day-trip which I highly recommend if you do not have the time to spend overnight. It is efficiently organized with tour guides that actually know a great deal about their island. The history is so deep considering both Corregidor and Bataan (which can be seen from Corregidor), that even... More

I did the day tour with Sun Cruises and it was a well organised, informative and interesting tour. Everything ran smoothly and although the ferry was full, the trams all head off in different directions so the sights never feel crowded. The guide was excellent - knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly. Lunch is the only thing that could be improved -... More
