We absolutely loved our tour with Fabian. It was not peak season, so we were the only ones there. The whole tour felt individualized and we just had the best time making conversation with him like an old friend. We learned so much. I definitely recommend if you like animal crossing or gardening.

Excellent guide, diverse butterflies and nice experience to release young butterflies. The way there is not asphalted, carefully if rain.
Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a pleasure having you here and sharing the wonderful world of butterflies with you. I’m especially happy that you enjoyed releasing the young butterflies—it’s always a special part of the experience! 🦋 Thank you as well for mentioning the road conditions. Yes, the road is unpaved, and during the rainy season it can be more challenging, so we always recommend coming prepared. I truly appreciate your visit and hope to see you again someday!

This was a very educational, enriching, and fun tour. We got to learn plenty of cool new facts about the local butterfly species. Our tour guide, Adrian, was very informative and friendly. And we got to set free a few butterflies that had only been born a few minutes before. I highly recommend this adventure to family and friends here and abroad.

This was a fantastic experience. The guide was great - very informed, personable and patiently guided us through the sanctuary and answered all of our questions.

The guide was great. He took us through a very informative and fun tour of the various butterfly species and their known history. He was very interactive and answered all questions. He took the time to guide us through the entire sanctuary and was great to talk to. My families favorite parts were definitely walking amongst all the butterflies in the sanctuary and releasing the new butterflies on their first flights of life. I’d definitely recommend the butterfly sanctuary to others.
