    Flying Foxes in Flores

    cynthiapost259, Feb 2026
    The bats were spectacular- so exciting to see thousands of them in the wild as they left their roosts to go forage for food. However, the tour itself was mediocre at best. The guides were just car & boat drivers, not educators so the tour was not very informative. They got us there very early, which was good because we secured a good spot at the island where the bats lived so we could get a good view. However, all of the guys on the boat smoked the entire time- super annoying. Because the boat crew are all local hires, I don't know that there are any better tours available. I definitely recommend seeing the bats; it was awesome! But be prepared for an un-spectacular "tour" experience.

    Best to avoid

    The operator should not offer this tour on Viator. We were towed out to the boat kneeling on a styrofoam float by a crew member walking through the water. And the same coming back, except for the float being wet from a rainstorm. The team smoked a lot while we were on the boat waiting for the bats. Nice people, but not a recommended tour.

    Excellent sunset tour

    We were picked up from our hotel by Chandra who drove us to the port. He gave us useful information about the village. We transferred by makeshift raft to a wooden boat, and sat on the roof. The journey to the island took about 50 mins and as the sun set the bats emerged. There are thousands of them. Very interesting and picturesque. The reverse journey in the dark seemed quicker (and cooler, maybe take a sweater) and we again transferred to the raft. But the tide had gone out so we needed to walk the last few meters. Water only a few inches deep and ridiculously warm! The boat crew were helpful and Chandra a good host and guide. A nice evening.

    Epic private experience!!! Experience bats and local port

    DO NOT HESITATE!! I almost didn’t book because I was going solo and there were only 2 reviews (plus it’s a little privey) but I am SO glad I took this tour!!! Chan was my guide and he is SUPER nice and has good English so it was easy to communicate. I also felt very safe the whole time as a solo female. Chan happily told me about the area as we drove to the local port, which was beautiful and an experience on its own to see the local families with their goats. I felt like a queen getting onto the floating mat they use to transport from the dock to the boat (though do prepared to get your feet wet for a second). We climbed onto the roof of the boat where we sat for the whole ride. Sunset was gorgeous and then the bats came out by the THOUSANDS. It was so magical annd peaceful and we had a front-row seat as the timing for this tour got us there right before the other boats arrived. absolutely unforgettable experience that I will cherish forever. Yes the price is a little steep for Indonesia but I am so happy I did it…money comes back around but how many times am I going to be in the Komodo islands? Highly recommend

    Good but very expensive!

    The tour was good. Flying bats was an experience and worth going. It was beautiful. The reason I am giving 3 stars is because this tour is not value for money at all. It’s way overly priced. The entire tour takes roughly about 3 hours to complete. For such a short duration of this tour I don’t understand why they have priced it so high. May be better off to book this directly with the hotel because we saw it’s half of what I paid here!!

    Hi Ratish, thank you for your review. Really appreciate you taking the time to write it. Our price is not high at all, considering how much time you save comparing to starting and finishing the tour using wooden boat from the public pier in the town (you will need almost 2 hours one way so 4 hours in total and sailing in the dark is not everyone's cup of tea). Wish you a safe and nice trip on you next future travel !
