Corregidor Island
Corregidor Island, located at the mouth of Manila Bay, is one of the most significant historical landmarks in the Philippines. As the last stronghold to surrender to Japanese forces during World War II, the island plays a crucial role in the nation’s wartime history. It served as the headquarters of the Harbor Defense of the Philippines and USAFFE and briefly housed the Philippine government. Corregidor Island endured constant bombardment, earning the title of one of the most bombarded islands in the Pacific.

Corregidor Island Tour
After the pandemic, visiting Corregidor Island became more challenging due to the closure of Sun Cruises, the ferry company that had provided regular ferry services to the island for several decades. Consequently, the usual ferry trips from Manila to Corregidor were suspended. This meant that visitors now had to travel from Manila to Bataan and cover the costs for the entire boat ride, tramvia services, and tour guide fees.
To address this issue and help revive the island’s tourism, we have created three distinct packages designed to cater to a wide range of tourists interested in visiting Corregidor Island.
Definition of Terms:
Join-In Tour: This type of tour brings together individuals and groups into a single tour, which helps to make the experience more affordable. By combining participants, the costs for transportation, guide services, and other expenses are shared among the group, making it a cost-effective option. Currently, our Join-In Tour operates under this model.
Exclusive Tour:
This tour offers a more personalized experience, allowing participants to enjoy a private tour with customized services, including transportation and guides tailored specifically to their group. It’s ideal for those seeking a more individualized and flexible experience.
