Heldagstur i Corregidor och Bataan War Memorial från Manila
Beskrivning
Corregidor Island och Bataan Death March Memorial Sites är platser som måste ses på grund av sin djupa historiska betydelse och de kraftfulla berättelser de berättar om andra världskriget i Filippinerna. Historisk betydelse : Andra världskrigets historia: Corregidor Island spelade en avgörande roll under andra världskriget som en strategisk militärbas i Manilabukten. Det var platsen för intensiva strider mellan amerikanska och filippinska styrkor och Japanska trupper. Ön är hem till välbevarade militära befästningar, inklusive bunkrar, kanonbatterier och ruiner som erbjuder inblick i öns krigstida historia. Minnesplatserna högtidlighåller minnet av Bataans hårda dödsmarsch 1942, där tusentals filippinska och amerikanska krigsfångar tvångsmarscherades av Japanska militären. Malintatunneln är återigen öppen för prospektering. Tunneln byggdes av den amerikanska militären i början av 1900-talet och fungerade som ett bombsäkert skydd, kommandohögkvarter och sjukhus under andra världskriget.

Resplan
Bataan är en provins på den filippinska ön Luzon Region III. Dess huvudstad är Balanga. Skeppsvrak och korallrev ligger runt vattnet i Subic Bay, utanför dess nordvästra kust. Längre söderut kläcks havssköldpaddor vid Pawikan Conservation Center. Ett höga minneskors och en helgedom till minne av andra världskrigets slaget vid Bataan kröner berget Samat i centrala Bataan. På östkusten frodas fågellivet i Balanga City Wetland and Nature Park. En 3 timmars restid från Manila är ett värdigt besök i denna stad som har full av historia.
En guidad historisk spårvagnstur på den lilla ön Corregidor. Att besöka krigsminnesplatser, lära sig dess rika historia och hylla hjältarna.
Högtidligt på Corregidors topp står det vitmarmorerade tefatformade Pacific War Memorial. Den byggdes 1968 av den amerikanska regeringen för 1,23 miljoner dollar (andra källor rapporterade att den kostade 3 miljoner dollar) och var tillägnad de filippinska och amerikanska styrkorna som kämpade i Stilla havet under andra världskriget. En skulptur som föreställer en skadad filippinsk kämpe som får hjälp av en amerikansk soldat är installerad vid minnesmärkets ingång, som symboliserar vänskapen mellan de två nationerna.
Denna enorma byggnad byggdes 1915 för att hysa det 60:e kustartilleriets luftvärnsregemente, den amerikanska reguljära armén, 91:a kustartilleriet och de filippinska scouterna. Består av två trevåningsbyggnader, dess design baserades på vårt lands tropiska klimat; högt i tak, stora öppningar och perimetergallerier för ventilation. Fönstren var intressant gjorda av capiz (pärlemor) skjutbara paneler som de som finns på spanska kolonialtidens hus i landet. Allt som kan ses nu är barackernas långsamt försämrade skelett efter att den bombades av de invaderande japanska styrkorna i december 1941.
Battery Way är beväpnad med fyra 12-tums mortelvagnar som kan avfyra högexplosiva granater så långt som 8,3 miles eller 13,35 km i vilken riktning som helst. Varje mortel krävde en besättning på minst 14 man för att ladda och avfyra granaten. Mortlarna kunde lyftas till en bana mellan 45 och 70 grader, vilket gjorde dem idealiska för att rikta in sig på fiender som förskansade sig i högre mark i Bataan. Batteriet var uppkallat efter Second Lt. Henry Way från 4th U.S. Artillery, som dog i tjänst i Filippinerna 1900.
Minneshelgedomskomplexet byggdes för att hedra och minnas tapperheten hos filippinska och amerikanska soldater som stred mot den kejserliga japanska armén under andra världskriget. Memorial Cross är en hög struktur på den högsta punkten av Mount Samat, 555 m (1 821 fot) över havet.
Museet byggdes som en hyllning till våra fallna hjältar som gjorde det ultimata offret 1942. Det visar upp tragiska ögonblick av kriget, särskilt den fasansfulla Bataans dödsmarsch där tusentals filippinska och amerikanska soldater dog.

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!
