I had a visit at the butterfly garden which is run but a lovely guy and his family. Unfortunately I wasn't in the position to donate some money but I hope that more people will visit and have some cash with them to support this project which is still a working in progress.

We went with my family. We bring the kids to so they will know more about the butterflies. We did enjoy this place. The caretaker told us brief about the butterfly.

I have never seen such large butterflies! This is an absolute must-see. Save your money by not going with an organized trip with a resort. Much more fun to hire a motorbike driver and explore at your own pace.

We visited this sanctuary and really liked it. It is small and maybe not worth a trip across the island, but if you are in the area you should go there. The owner is really passionate about restoring the butterflies in Siquijor and doing something beneficial for the environment.

Nice to be up close to so many butterflies and the owner is doing the environment a favour by releasing some and also educating people. Make a donation and help build it up.

Very friendly owner showed us round the butterfly sanctuary which we came across by accident whilst tripping round the island by motorbike. It was great to meet someone passionate about what he was doing, and we really enjoyed the half hour peering into the lives of his butterflies. There is no entrance fee, just a donation request for upkeep and... More

This is a lovley low key place, not at all what I was expecting. They are doing some good work and are passionate about what they do. Give it a try!

The butterfly garden is not that big, yet i was so amazed to have all the life stages of the butterfly witnessed in there. The entrance fee is 30php actually but we just pay 20 php each since we're a total of 5 visitors. The lady in-charge f the garden was also friendly and accommodating.
