Prison Break! Thanks Alistair for the nice shot!
Off Limits Area at the Mac Arthur's Headquarter. Don't do this. I was just stubborn. Falling debris everywhere.

Corregidor Island is very near Manila - it's just an hour away by ferry. To get there, you can book a ferry through Sun Cruises website and I strongly recommended that you do this if you really are inclined to spending a day tour or an overnight stay on the island. Schedules can be fully booked, so to avoid getting frustrated, reserve a ticket online.
There are two accommodations on the island - Corregidor Inn and Corregidor Hostel - which can be booked on the Sun Cruises website, too. There's only one restaurant - La Playa, so if you're staying overnight, I suggest you bring your own snacks for your camp fire activities at night. By the way, there's a sari-sari store a few meters away from the Inn. Ask the caretakers of the island about it.
The Inn also sells souvenir items which you can also buy in Quiapo, so think twice before buying that native wallet.

Aside from the daily tour that every tourist will enjoy, trekking on the island is a must-try for those who want to explore and be adventurous. It's perfectly safe! Carry a bottle of water to rehydrate your body once in awhile.
The afternoon is perfect for swimming and wading at the beach. Camp fire is absolutely gorgeous, but be sure to ask permission from the staff.
At night, you can do ghost hunting as the caretakers suggested as, but unfortunately, we did not see any ghost.
Corregidor Island is not just historic; it's also a place to relax and enjoy.
