Discover natural wonders on a full day of adventures during our crystal cave tour. A short trek takes you to a unique mirror cave that we call “Batu Cermin” – this spectacular limestone cave is located within a prominent rock formation near Labuan Bajo. Through a hole in the cave, rays of light cascade onto the interior walls, where they perform a spectacular show of reflected sunlight. This fascinating effect is caused by slick, mirror-like rock surfaces that reflect the light (hence the cave’s name; ‘Batu Cermin,’ which means ‘mirror rock’ in Indonesian). Rangko cave is a large pool of crystal-clear seawater, glowing a bright turquoise color as a result of sunlight coming through the mouth of the cave. Here you can swim, cliff jump, or simply admire the otherworldly beauty of the stalactites up above while floating in the cool, ultra-salty water of the cave.
