The passionate tour guides give detailed explanations about the butterfly life cycle, which you’ll see in various stages—from larvae to cocoons before they transform into the beautiful creatures we all adore. During the tour, the guide even brought out examples of each stage of the butterfly life cycle that we got to see and touch. This hands-on approach made the experience incredibly informative and engaging.

The highlight of the tour is the butterfly release ceremony. It feels magical to release a newborn butterfly and see it take its first flight—even if my last one was a bit stubborn about leaving the container! After the release, you can explore the butterfly garden. While the gardens were smaller than I expected, they were rich in plant life and filled with the scent of blooming flowers. It’s an excellent place for observation and photography, offering plenty of opportunities to see a variety of butterfly species, including monarch butterflies.
When I visited the butterfly sanctuary, I went with friends who had a car. We didn’t make an appointment and just showed up, but it was the middle of the low season in July. I recommend booking a tour online in advance if you’re visiting during the high season to avoid disappointment.
