Kelor Island

[Komodo Island's latest experience - when luxury yacht meets sunset and bats return home] When it comes to bats, everyone's first reaction should be bad things in the cave, upside down, a little hairy, blood-sucking, very scary creatures, but for the first time in Komodo subverted my view. Today is a luxury yacht sunset group, the goal is to wait for the sunset to see the bats return. Until the sun is completely at sea level, the sky is still yellow, and the bats start to return. At first, I saw only two or three, and then more and more, the blood color of the sun did not make the atmosphere very scary, many people were very comfortable lying on the boat quietly watching the bats return to their nest, this moment is very quiet. Location: Komodo Kalong Island, Indonesia Price: about 700 yuan (see the quality of the group) Time: The play time is still relatively easy, 11:30 noon to 7 pm, no need to get up early. Dining: There is a group meal at noon, but the taste is really average, fried chicken + chili sauce + green vegetables, but there will be biscuits and fruit and soda on the boat, which is great.

Explore the magical Komodo | Have you seen tens of thousands of bats flying at the same time? Komodo has a magical island, and whenever dusk falls, thousands of bats living here will go out of their nests for food, and then you will see the sky-dived bats. I didn't really believe that there would be so many bats at first, and thought that the landscape of bats out of the nest was just a flash in the pan. But in fact, the sunset of this day and the landscape of bats that lasted more than ten minutes in the sunset became a scene of the journey. Detailed itinerary: To see the bats on kalong island out of the nest, you need to participate in the sunset group (because the bats are always active at night), the sunset group usually starts at 11 o'clock in the morning, and the front will be arranged to go to kanawa or Lincha Island. We have been there yesterday so we chose to set off in the afternoon to watch the sunset. Because we have a lot of people, we have packaged a wooden boat in the local area. The price is less than 3,000 a day, and the per capita is in the early 300s. Although the speed of the boat is slower, it is better than the price. The scattered speedboat of the sunset group is more than 600 people. Price includes: tea, English guide, no meals, sunset tour does not involve attractions in Komodo National Park, so no ticket fee is required. Destination details: kelor island: hiking up the mountain on a small island with a good view. After I went there, I found that this is also an attraction where many people take punch cards in ins. The road up the mountain is relatively primitive and steep, and you need to pay attention to safety. Kalong Island: It is the place to see 10,000 bats out of the nest. A large group of bats live here. Every day after sunset, they fly out of the forest to go outside for food. They will return to this place before dawn, so they cycle back and forth, so this landscape is theoretically visible every day. Bat photo strategy: 1. Because the bat is close to the evening, the sky has been dark, so the camera iso needs to be raised, and the bat is the target of movement, so the shutter speed needs to be raised, capture the moment the bat flies. 2. The large wide angle and the long focus here are also applicable. The large wide angle filmed the shock of the whole scene, and the long focus captured the details of the bat flying. I really regretted not having the long focus at that time! 3. Use the boats passing around, be good at finding the foreground, so that the composition is more abundant and layered.
