Unexpectedly wonderful. - Make sure to wear sandals and shorts. You will need to wade through a little bit of water and mud to get to the boat. The guide did offer my mother in law his sandals as she was wearing normal white ones shoes. The trip started with a nice drive through local communities and parked in a small marina village. We then climbed down some stairs out to the water and loaded up on a private small boat. We got to sit on the roof which was very soft and a comfortable carpet to sit on. We took about a 10min boat ride and got a front row view of the Flying Fox island. There were a lot of boats there to watch the bats, and our boat got a front row seat which was very nice. As we waited we were offered coffee or tea. During the wait we also got to see a few sea turtles come up for air which was an unexpected addition. After about 30min of waiting and enjoying the view, the bats slowly started emerging and for about 20min we got to sit as thousands of bats emerged from the island and covered the sky. It was an absolutely incredible sight to see up close. After it got dark we made our way back to the marina. Once back on land they had water to help rinse our feet of mud before driving back to town. The whole thing door to door took 3hrs. We are really happy to have taken this cruise. We didn't know what to expect, but it was wonderful.

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!!
