Kalong Island
Millions of giant bats lifting off the mangroves against the best sunset in the park.

The stop
Kalong Island
Kalong Island is known for its bats — millions of them, roosting in the exotic trees that cover the island and waking as the light goes.
The sunset here is among the most striking in Komodo National Park, and the vessel anchors offshore for it. You watch the silhouettes lift off the mangroves from the deck, drink in hand.
