10 Unforgettable Minutes in Komodo|A Sunset Canopy of 10,000 Bats

🌇 As the sun dipped below the horizon, Kalong Island faded into a silhouette. Suddenly, the first bat took flight—followed by thousands more! The sky erupted with swirling black wings, their whooshing sounds tearing through the air like a celestial rift. 🚢 Our boat drifted silently in the sea, bathed in the golden glow of dusk. Above us, the pink-orange sky danced with bat swarms; below, the waves shimmered with liquid gold. Time stood still as nature’s epic unfolded before our eyes💫 ✨Tips: Bat exodus occurs 10-15 mins after sunset, lasting ~20 mins! Crank up ISO + shutter speed—wide-angle for the scene, telephoto for details. Komodo liveaboard is a MUST for a unique life experience👇 🚢 【2D1N Liveaboard Guide】 ▫Trip Highlights 1️⃣Padar Island Summit: Hike 20 mins at 4:30 AM—watch four bays (black/white/pink beaches) awaken at sunrise 🌅 2️⃣Pink Beach: Walk barefoot on coral sand, snorkel past candy-colored reefs in blush-blue waters 🐠 3️⃣Komodo Dragons: Meet these prehistoric giants at the national park (¥200 entry).
