About this spot
A Guinness-recognized cave sanctuary holding the world's largest colony of Geoffroy's rousette fruit bats, estimated at around 1.8 million. Peer into the cave openings to see bats packed shoulder to shoulder, and learn how the family-run sanctuary protects them. Unusual, fascinating and a must on any Samal land tour. Go in the morning, and respect the quiet zones.
