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.

Family Butterfly Adventure
This was such a fun experience. We got to hold the caterpillars as they pooped in our hands, feed the butterflies, and watch the praying mantis jump & dance. I’m glad I chose this experience for our family.

Butterfly experience
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.
J
fun for those not afraid of bugs. or chickens.
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.
