I'll be brief as my comments would echo much of what has already been communicated in recent (2024 & 2025) reviews.
Three hours from Manilla hotel, four+ on the return. Thankfully my driver, William, has a decent car and A/C! PM me if you would like his contact info as he drives tourists all around Makati and Manila.
Rickety outrigger canoe ride was not the worst, but the seas were fairly calm and it only took about 20 minutes to get to the island.
My tour guide was a different William, not my driver. He was fantastic as he started as a Corregidor tour guide back in the early 2000s and knew his stuff. He has some great stories from actual WWII veterans who returned in 2003 & 2004 to the island to take the tour.
The place is run-down, piles of trash along the pier/harbor area, and the dogs and cats living there all look like they are on their last legs...very sad.
If you are a moderate (like me) history buff, or a fanatic, I absolutely suggest you take this tour. And be sure to tip your driver and tour guide a minimum of 1K PHP.
