Excursão de dia inteiro no Corregidor e Bataan War Memorial de Manila
Descrição
Corregidor Island e o Bataan Death March Memorial Sites são destinos imperdíveis devido ao seu profundo significado histórico e as poderosas histórias que contam sobre a Segunda Guerra Mundial nas Filipinas. Significado histórico: História da Segunda Guerra Mundial: Corregidor Island desempenhou um papel crucial durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial como uma base militar estratégica na Baía de Manila. Foi o local de intensas batalhas entre forças americanas e filipinas e tropas Japonesas. A ilha é o lar de fortificações militares bem preservadas, incluindo bunkers, baterias de armas e ruínas que oferecem insights sobre a história da ilha durante a guerra. Os monumentos comemoram a agonizante Marcha da Morte de Bataan de 1942, onde milhares de prisioneiros de guerra filipinos e americanos foram forçados a marchar pelo exército Japonês. O túnel de Malinta está novamente aberto para exploração. Construído pelo exército americano no início do século 20, o túnel serviu como abrigo à prova de bombas, sede do comando e hospital durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Bataan é uma província na ilha filipina da Região III de Luzon. Sua capital é Balanga. Naufrágios e recifes de corais pontilham as águas da Baía de Subic, na costa noroeste. Mais ao sul, as tartarugas marinhas nascem no Pawikan Conservation Center. Uma imponente cruz memorial e um santuário comemorando a Batalha de Bataan da Segunda Guerra Mundial coroam o Monte Samat no centro de Bataan. Na costa leste, a avifauna prospera no Balanga City Wetland and Nature Park. Uma viagem de 3 horas de Manila é uma visita digna a esta cidade cheia de história.
Um passeio guiado de bonde histórico na pequena ilha de Corregidor. Visitando locais memoriais de guerra, aprendendo sua rica história e prestando homenagem aos heróis.
Erguendo-se solenemente no pico do Corregidor está o Memorial da Guerra do Pacífico em forma de disco de mármore branco. Construído em 1968 pelo governo dos EUA por 1,23 milhão de dólares (outras fontes informaram que era de 3 milhões de dólares), foi dedicado às forças filipinas e americanas que lutaram no Pacífico durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Uma escultura representando um lutador filipino ferido sendo ajudado por um soldado americano está instalada na entrada do memorial, simbolizando a amizade entre as duas nações.
Este enorme edifício foi construído em 1915 para abrigar o 60º Regimento Antiaéreo de Artilharia de Costa, o Exército Regular dos EUA, a 91ª Artilharia de Costa e os Escoteiros das Filipinas. Composto por dois prédios de três pavimentos, seu projeto foi baseado no clima tropical do nosso país; teto alto, grandes aberturas e galerias perimetrais para ventilação. As janelas eram curiosamente feitas de painéis deslizantes de capiz (madrepérola), como os encontrados nas casas da era colonial espanhola no país. Tudo o que pode ser visto agora são os esqueletos lentamente deteriorados do quartel depois que foi bombardeado pelas forças invasoras japonesas em dezembro de 1941.
O Battery Way está armado com quatro morteiros de 12 polegadas capazes de disparar projéteis altamente explosivos a até 8,3 milhas ou 13,35 km em qualquer direção. Cada morteiro exigia uma tripulação de pelo menos 14 homens para carregar e disparar os projéteis. Os morteiros podiam ser levantados em uma trajetória entre 45 e 70 graus, o que os tornava ideais para atingir inimigos entrincheirados em terrenos mais altos em Bataan. A bateria recebeu o nome do segundo tenente Henry Way da 4ª Artilharia dos EUA, que morreu em serviço nas Filipinas em 1900.
O complexo do santuário memorial foi construído para homenagear e lembrar a bravura dos soldados filipinos e americanos que lutaram contra o Exército Imperial Japonês durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. A Cruz Memorial é uma estrutura elevada no ponto mais alto do Monte Samat, 555 m (1.821 pés) acima do nível do mar.
O museu foi construído como uma homenagem aos nossos heróis caídos que fizeram o sacrifício final em 1942. Ele mostra momentos trágicos da guerra, especialmente a horrenda Marcha da Morte de Bataan, onde milhares de soldados filipinos e americanos morreram.

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!
