Batu Cermin (Mirror Stone Cave)

Located only a 15 minute drive from Labuan Bajo, this cave got its name from its unique walls. Thanks to its underwater origins, the walls contain mass amounts of salt which create a unique reflective surface. These walls also contain fossils from underwater animals such as turtles, so make sure to take a close look!
