Well organised. Comfortable mini-van pickup. When departing Bay Walk enormous flocks of giant fruit bats flew over us which was amazing. A full moon shone on us and we sailed across the bay. We were in the first group who joined a smaller boat for the mangrove trip and watched the tiny fireflies in the trees like tiny fairy lights. It was amazing. Just like magic one flew over to our boat and landed on it. Then we returned to our main boat and enjoyed a delicious buffet meal, whilst the second group went out to the mangrove. Great evening out. Could do with a little music on our return journey.
