Only those familiar with World War II truly understand the significance the Philippines played in one of the world’s most horrible periods in history, which is why Corregidor Island isn’t always on the radar for most people visiting Manila.
If you’re a fan of history, though, it’s a sight you don’t want to miss. Corregidor Island played host to two battles between Japanese and U.S. forces during the war and each of these left a lasting impact on the lives of Filipinos.
WWII and Corregidor Island: Historical Sightseeing Tour from Manila is a wonderful opportunity to relive the battles up close. Some highlights include barracks tours where soldiers lived during the war, explorations of historic relics and a trip to the Pacific War Memorial.
You’ll also experience an exciting light and sound show at the Malinta Tunnel, a bomb-proof storage and hideout bunker later turned into a hospital, before discovering the beautiful views of Manila Bay atop the Spanish Lighthouse.
Battery Way and Battery Hearn will showcase the various forms of artillery used by the Americans and Filipinos during the war. Of course, all of this includes hotel stays, delicious meals at local restaurants and round-trip transportation to and from the island.
You can book your tour through Viator starting at $127.94.
