See thousands of bats fly out at sunset, all on your own private boat!
We've been to Komodo at least 20 times, and watching thousands of bats take flight at sunset is still one of our favourite (and most magical!) moments in Komodo National Park. We like to call it a bat exodus - wave after wave of fruit bats flying into the sunset sky as they leave their nest to find food. It goes on for 20-30 minutes!This is a great add-on if you’re only doing a one-day speedboat trip to Komodo National Park. Those trips usually return to the harbour before 6pm, so you’ll miss the sunset completely. If you still want to catch this sunset + bats moment, we’d recommend doing this private boat charter on the evening after your speedboat day trip. If you've already booked an overnight liveaboard, your itinerary will usually include a trip to Kalong Island, so you won't need to book this separately.It’s also super authentic: you’ll head to a local fishing village to hop on a traditional fishing boat and sail out. The crew will prepare mats and cushions on the roof of the boat, so you'll have the best unobstructed view of the bats.Seek Sophie tip: Bring your own snacks or drinks!What to ExpectEmpower Locals: Directly support sustainable tourism by choosing a locally operated boat.Bat Exodus: Witness the breathtaking exodus of thousands of bats against the fiery sunset sky.Convenient Comfort: Enjoy hassle-free hotel pickup and drop-off in Labuan Bajo.Expert Guidance: Learn fascinating insights from your knowledgeable driver-guide.Stay Hydrated: Mineral water is provided to keep you refreshed throughout the journey.Please note, the boat does not have bathroom facilities
