Bat Tour (Bat Centre and Blanche Cave)

You’ll start at the Bat Observation Centre, where you’ll watch and learn about the fascinating activities of our resident Southern Bent-wing Bats, a critically endangered species and be able to watch them via infrared camera. Watch as the bats move about their maternity chamber and you may be lucky enough to spot a rare albino bat.

The tour then heads into the majestic Blanche Cave which has once used by locals for picnics and parties to escape the heat. Full of history, the tour will also involve a visit to a significant fossil site.

In summer, you can watch the bats' spectacular flight from the Bat Cave at dusk as they head out for a feed of insects. If you’re an early riser, you can also see them return at dawn.
