Corregidor in 2026: No Manila Ferry, Day Tours from Bataan, What You See
Corregidor is still worth the trip for the gun batteries, the barracks ruins and the Pacific War Memorial, but the way there changed. There has been no ferry from Manila since Sun Cruises closed in May 2020. Tours now cross by outrigger from Mariveles, Bataan, in about 25 minutes, as day trips, and 2026 sources show no overnight stays or Malinta Tunnel show.

How to get to Corregidor now
Sun Cruises, which ran the ferry, hotel and tours from Manila, ceased operations on 16 May 2020, and Suroy.ph found no restored Manila ferry in 2025 or 2026. A route from the Cavite Gateway Terminal in Tanza was listed as unavailable in September 2026.
Tours go from Kamaya Point in Mariveles, Bataan, by outrigger, about 25 minutes each way, through accredited operators. A January 2026 visit report described four to six boats a day, with operators sending each passenger’s name and age to the Philippine Coast Guard days ahead and a Coast Guard check at boarding. Book through an operator, not at the pier.
What a day tour costs
Guia del Mar listed its join-in tour at US$60 from its Mariveles office on weekends, and US$90 with transport from Cubao, in October 2026. That covered the round-trip boat, the tram tour, a guide, the island entrance fee, a packed lunch and insurance. Suroy.ph found no published 2026 rate from the island’s administrators.
What you see
Tours ride the tranvia, the island’s tram-bus, through the batteries, the ruins and the memorials.
The batteries. Battery Crockett, Battery Way’s mortars and the big guns in their concrete pits.
The barracks. The roofless concrete shells of the old barracks, rows of empty openings with trees growing through.
The Pacific War Memorial. The domed memorial completed in 1968, with its open rotunda and altar stone.
The lighthouse. The first light was lit in 1853 and destroyed in the war; the tower standing now is a rebuild from the 1950s.
Malinta Tunnel. The tunnel was the island’s wartime command center. Its light and sound show is no longer running, and a January 2026 visit report said tours only reached the east entrance.
The memorials. A Japanese garden of peace with shrines and markers, and memorials from several nations across Topside.
What stopped
No overnight packages, sunset or night tours, or Malinta light and sound show turned up in 2026 sources. A January 2026 visit report also described storm damage at the Pacific War Memorial museum and overgrowth at the Middleside barracks.
The Bataan to Cavite bridge
The planned Bataan to Cavite Interlink Bridge, 32.15 km from Mariveles to Naic, crosses the shipping channels either side of Corregidor without landing on the island. Phase 1 drew eight bidders in September 2025, DPWH recommended a first contract award in November 2025, and completion is targeted for 2029 to 2030.

In Bataan, the Shrine of Valor on Mt. Samat tells the other half of the 1942 story. Farther north in Central Luzon, Mt. Pinatubo makes a separate day trip.
