Tour de día completo en Corregidor y Bataan War Memorial desde Manila
Descripción
La isla Corregidor y los sitios conmemorativos de la Marcha de la Muerte de Bataan son destinos imprescindibles debido a su profundo significado histórico y las poderosas historias que cuentan sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Filipinas. Significado histórico: Historia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial : La isla Corregidor jugó un papel crucial durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial como base militar estratégica en la bahía de Manila. Fue el lugar de intensas batallas entre las fuerzas estadounidenses y filipinas y las tropas Japonesas. La isla alberga fortificaciones militares bien conservadas, incluidos búnkeres, baterías de armas y ruinas que ofrecen información sobre la historia de la isla en tiempos de guerra. Los sitios conmemorativos conmemoran la desgarradora Marcha de la Muerte de Bataan de 1942, donde miles de prisioneros de guerra filipinos y estadounidenses fueron hechos marchar por la fuerza por el ejército Japonés. El túnel Malinta está abierto de nuevo a la exploración. Construido por el ejército estadounidense a principios de 1900, el túnel sirvió como refugio a prueba de bombas, cuartel general de comando y hospital durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Itinerario
Bataan es una provincia en la isla filipina de Luzón Región III. Su capital es Balanga. Naufragios y arrecifes de coral salpican las aguas de Subic Bay, frente a su costa noroeste. Más al sur, las tortugas marinas nacen en el Centro de Conservación Pawikan. Una imponente cruz conmemorativa y un santuario que conmemora la Batalla de Bataan de la Segunda Guerra Mundial coronan el Monte Samat en el centro de Bataan. En la costa este, la vida de las aves prospera en el Parque Natural y Humedal de la Ciudad de Balanga. Un viaje de 3 horas desde Manila es una visita digna a esta ciudad llena de historia.
Visita guiada en tranvía histórico por el islote de Corregidor. Visitar sitios conmemorativos de guerra, conocer su rica historia y rendir homenaje a los héroes.
De pie solemnemente en el pico de Corregidor se encuentra el Pacific War Memorial de mármol blanco en forma de platillo. Construido en 1968 por el gobierno de los Estados Unidos por 1,23 millones de dólares (otras fuentes lo reportaron en 3 millones de dólares), estuvo dedicado a las fuerzas filipinas y estadounidenses que lucharon en el Pacífico durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Una escultura que representa a un combatiente filipino herido ayudado por un soldado estadounidense está instalada en la entrada del monumento, lo que simboliza la amistad entre las dos naciones.
Este enorme edificio fue construido en 1915 para albergar el regimiento antiaéreo de artillería costera 60, el ejército regular de EE. UU., la artillería costera 91 y los exploradores filipinos. Compuesto por dos edificios de tres pisos, su diseño se basó en el clima tropical de nuestro país; Techo alto, amplios vanos y galerías perimetrales para ventilación. Las ventanas estaban curiosamente hechas de paneles corredizos de capiz (madre perla) como los que se encuentran en las casas de la época colonial española en el campo. Todo lo que se puede ver ahora son los esqueletos del cuartel que se deterioran lentamente después de que fue bombardeado por las fuerzas invasoras japonesas en diciembre de 1941.
Battery Way está armado con cuatro carros de mortero de 12 pulgadas capaces de disparar proyectiles altamente explosivos hasta 8,3 millas o 13,35 km en cualquier dirección. Cada mortero requería una tripulación de al menos 14 hombres para cargar y disparar los proyectiles. Los morteros podían elevarse a una trayectoria de entre 45 y 70 grados, lo que los hacía ideales para apuntar a enemigos atrincherados en terrenos más altos en Bataan. La batería lleva el nombre del segundo teniente Henry Way de la 4.ª artillería de EE. UU., que murió en servicio en Filipinas en 1900.
El complejo del santuario conmemorativo se construyó para honrar y recordar la valentía de los soldados filipinos y estadounidenses que lucharon contra el Ejército Imperial Japonés durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La Cruz Conmemorativa es una estructura imponente en el punto más alto del Monte Samat, 555 m (1821 pies) sobre el nivel del mar.
El museo fue construido como un tributo a nuestros héroes caídos que hicieron el último sacrificio en 1942. Muestra momentos trágicos de la guerra, especialmente la horrenda Marcha de la Muerte de Bataan, donde murieron miles de soldados filipinos y estadounidenses.

We learned all about Corregidor and the Bataan Death March, much more than our US history books taught us.
Thank you so much!
I highly recommend this tour to all those desiring to obtain a better and deeper understanding of the historical significance of Corregidor and Bataan in WW II military history. The driver, Arvin picked me up exactly on time at my hotel and did a superb job navigating the intense Manila traffic to arrive safely at the beginning and end of the tour. My tour guide, Eduardo Gurion, did an outstanding job explaining the history, background, and details of all the sites we visited around Corregidor and Bataan. In detail he explained key decisions made by American and Japanese senior military officers; their strategies, tactics, and rationale. Eduardo is a walking encyclopedia on the WW II history of Corregidor and Bataan and made this tour informative and interesting. Names, numbers, quotes, history, and details were at his fingertips and expertly communicated. I took over a hundred pictures. Thanks Eduardo and Arvin for a tremendous tour. Well done.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic coverage of Bataan and Corregidor in WWII. The guide was extremely knowledgeable. Amazing and in-depth experience.
Thank you so much!
My husband and I took a one day private tour of Bataan and Corregidor in January 2026. We highly recommend this tour as our tour guide, William, was everything we could have hoped for. He was so knowledgeable and had so much information and stories. He was really genuine and it was a very real experience. as we laughed and shared stories. Thank you also to Leila who made all the arrangements for us via email prior to the trip. The booking process was hassle free even though we were communicating from overseas. For any interested in WWII history, I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much!
Corregidor is a beautiful island and Bataan a bustling city embedded in history. Our guide William is a passionate historian who personally learned from WWII veterans. I hope these places are preserved with derserved investment.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful review! We’re truly glad you appreciated the beauty and deep historical significance of Corregidor and Bataan. We are happy that Guide’s passion resonated with you. Thank you for traveling with us and for valuing the stories that shaped our history. We hope to welcome you again on another meaningful journey.
Outstanding trip. Having visited sites in Europe (Normandy, Battle of the Bulge) and the Pacific (Nagasaki, Okinawa, etc), this is the most impressive and most underrated tour of all WWII sites I have seen. Highly encourage more to visit Corregidor.
Thank you so much Tim!
3 of us booked the Bataan and Corregidor Full day tour at US$400 per person and found out only on the tour that the major attractions in Bataan and Corregidor are closed until further notice… the Cross which you can go up with a panoramic view of Manila and Subic Bay at Mount Samat as well as the most famous Malinta Tunnel on the Island. There were no indications on Viator on their website or booking page, we felt we were being taken advantage of and informed of the situation, which with Viator supposed to be a reputable tour company, totally disappointed…
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly understand your disappointment and appreciate you taking the time to express your concerns. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the closure of Malinta Tunnel, which remains closed until further notice due to government restrictions beyond the control of tour operators. Unfortunately, there is currently no confirmed timeline for its reopening. Regarding Mt. Samat (Shrine of Valor), please note that the site is regularly closed every Monday and on local holidays, which may affect access depending on the tour date. These closures are imposed by site authorities. We regret that this information was not clearly reflected on the booking platform at the time of reservation. We are actively working to ensure that all site updates and advisories are communicated more clearly to our partners and booking channels to avoid similar situations in the future. We value your feedback and will use this experience to improve transparency and guest communication.
Yesterday, December 27, three of us booked the Corregidor - Bataan Peninsula tour through Viator which was expensive at $400+ per person. The transport pick up for the 2.5 hour tour to the Bataan Tour area was right on time leaving at 5AM from Manila. Our tour guide William Pamuyo was picked up on the way and he was excellent. William had great knowledge and understanding of the conflict areas we had booked to see. He is articulate and very personable and would definitely retain his services again. The unfortunate and certainly disappointing aspect of this relative expensive tour is the fact that two (2) of the main attractions are closed and there was no indication of that on the Viator website. Had this been highlighted, we would not have taken the tour. The main sight to see on Corregidor Island is the Malinta Tunnel, an engineering feat and of spectacular size not to mention where MacArthur had his headquarters. We did not learn this fact until on the Island and well into the tour. Those responsible have no idea when it will be reopened by the government. Our trolley transport could not even drive in front of the entrance. Shame on Viator for not telling their clients this. In addition, at Mt. Samat, the huge cross, built in honor of all who served and died on Bataan, is closed until 2027. In the past, one could access the cross and walk on the arms to see the surrounding scenery including Subic Bay and Clark Airfield. Again, surprised at Viator, being a professional company, did not highlight this fact. Now the information provided by William and seeing the batteries, staff quarters and barracks of the men and women stationed on Corregidor was interesting but that wasn’t the main attraction. Would we have booked with Viator had we know the Malinta Tunnel and Cross was closed … no. Go in two years and all may be reopened.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that your pick-up was on time and that your guide provided an excellent tour experience. We truly appreciate your kind words about his knowledge, professionalism, and personable approach, and we will be sure to share this with him. We understand your disappointment regarding the closure of Malinta Tunnel and the restricted access at Mt. Samat (Shrine of Valor). These closures are government-imposed and unfortunately beyond our control. We agree that advance awareness of such closures is important, and we continue coordinating with our partners and booking platforms to improve transparency and communication. We will make sure that all information provided is updated. We appreciate your honest feedback and hope that once these sites are fully reopened, you may consider returning for a more complete experience. Thank you again, and we wish you safe travels.
very long but very informative - I have come away from this with a much greater understanding if when and what occurred . I have come away with a much greater appreciation of what that generation went through.
Thank you so much! 🙏
Bernie, our driver and William, our tour guide, well let us just say they are top of the line in terms of service, knowledge and skill. My husband and I could not have asked for a better duo to make our tour of Bataan/Correigidor as safe, informative, and interesting as it would ever get. It was such a thrill to walk through Malinta Tunnel in Correigidor with just two flashlights to light our way. In Bata-an, it was crazy to find that the Zero Marker of the infamous Death March was located inside a school campus that is sandwiched between a Mcdonald and a Jollibee. As they say "Only in the Philippines". Tsk, tsk tsk. It is hoped that the government move now to fix the Correigidor Hotel which is still currently in a dilapidated state, and also move the Zero Marker of the Death March in Bata-an somewhere more respectable. There should be a Bata-an Death March Museum per se not scattered artifacts all over the place. Sad. The tour is highly recommended with again--hope that many more people would urge the Philippine Government to make memories of the sacrifices made in Bata-an and Correigidor great again! Okay?
Thank you so much!
