The Maui Butterfly Farm Tour
Description
We have moved to a new location! We are now located at 820 Olowalu Village Rd, next to the Olowalu General Store on the way to Lahaina! We are the oldest butterfly farm in Hawaii and the only one that offers private tours of a butterfly farm in the State. We are a certified Monarch Waystation and strive to save the butterflies through propagation, research and education. We’re the only place in the Islands to see live Hawaiian butterflies in our walk in butterfly flight house. Unlike Mainland butterfly farms, all of our butterflies are home bred and hand raised on our organic farm. We do not purchase or ship in our butterflies from abroad, therefore all of our butterflies are endemic to Hawaii.

This is a must try experience. It was very fun not for little little kids. I’ll definitely do it again when I’m in Maui.
Much more fun than I thought it would be. You get to handle caterpillars, several species of butterflies, and preying mantises - not something you get to do every day! Lots of conservative talk, which is to be expected. Butterflies are not released, so that was a little strange to me. It's purely an eco tour. Worth what we paid for it to get some fun pictures.
Great stop during our week here. Highly recommended.
Quaint, local, educational experience that we have only experienced in Maui! It’s about an hour long and we held and learned about different caterpillars and then held and learned about different butterflies. Have your camera ready because they will sit on your finger! The guides are kind and knowledgeable. My 11-year-old daughter and I enjoyed this. There was a young child on our tour (about 4 years old) and he did fine as his parents really helped him stay calm.
Kathryn was very cheerful and knowledgeable about her butterflies. Our 8 year old granddaughter absolutely loved having butterflies light on her fingers as did the rest of our group. It is well worth your time and then go Nextdoor for lunch!
Great hands-on experience seeing how you can support butterflies and their mission to help our environment
Well worth the money for the family experience, everyone of all ages enjoyed it. The tour guides were awesome and brought out caterpillars for my little one at the end
Loved it , and educational Thank you Would definitely recommend to my friends and family Five stars!!
Such a fun experience! You actually get to go in with butterflies and hang out, and have them on your hand. The tour guide (Reema) was super inviting and informative. I knew a general baseline of butterflies but it was fun to go a little deeper- but not too in depth, the overall vibe was relaxed and fun. This was a perfect little afternoon activity. We wanted to also hit the snorkeling tours, I did a helicopter tour, etc., but you need some easy outings too. For families, adults, anyone- I highly recommend! The restaurant next door is also DELICIOUS : )
Fun and educational. We got to hold caterpillars. Butterflies got on our flowers. Real nice experience.
