Corregidor

We purchased a deal from Beeconomic for a Corregidor tour with Sun Cruises. We wanted to go on a corregidor tour for sometime and we finally managed to find a weekend where we are all available.

Corregidor served as a last stand of Manila against the Japanese occupation during World War II. Today, all the ruins has been preserved on the Island. The "rock" shaped like a tadpole rests on the mouth of Manila bay, off the coast of Bataan. It defended Manila until its fall.

Sun Cruises has daily trips to Corregidor. The package includes round trip boat transfers, buffet lunch and the tour.

Each tour group on the Island will have a different route as they have calibrated the tours so not all crowds will be in 1 area at the same time. The tours are on trams which served as the mode of transportation on the island before the war.

We visited several memorials like the Japanese memorial, the Philippine war memorial, and we had tickets to the Lights and Sounds tour inside Malinta tunnel. Our guide was very friendly and explained thoroughly about our history. He also suggests which spots are good for picture taking.

Lunch was served at the Corregidor Inn. Food varies daily and we were lucky we had seafood paella that day.

More spots were visited after lunch like the batteries, the lighthouse and the Pacific War Memorial.

The package was worth it (what more for us since we purchased a deal). The staff and tour guides of Sun Cruises were accommodating and their tours are very well coordinated. They allot a certain time for a spot on the island and try to be considerate not to be late also as there were people in our group who were late.


Until the next trip with Tom, Shai, Anj, Marge and Marlon.
