Monfort Bat Sanctuary
Monfort Bat Cave
A Guinness-certified sanctuary home to the world's largest colony of Rousette fruit bats, with about 1.8 million bats filling the cave entrance in a breathtaking scene.
The sanctuary is located in Babak in northern Samal Island and has been protected by a private landowner for many years. Visitors can look down from behind the fence at the entrance to see the colonies of bats hanging upside down, and can visit the exhibition hall. Admission costs about 100 to 150 pesos, and the sanctuary is open roughly from 8:00 to 17:00. Keep quiet, and do not use flash photography. The smell is quite strong. It can be combined with Hagimit Falls.
