  Absolutely AMAZING ! If you are in Puerto Vallarta this place is a must. You will never see so many butterflies so up close. We purchased... read more the private tour and Fabian was so knowledgable and really made a huge positive impression on us. I highly recommend the Mariposario / Butterfly Sanctuary.

  Had a Great day at the butterfly sanctuary with two gal friends. Chris was very informative and clearly has passion for what he is doing. Thank you for sharing so... read more much of your knowledge. The tour took approx one hour. After we enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Vista Vallarta golf course which was approx. ten minute drive from the sanctuario. A Very enjoyable day.

  It’s a ways out there, but with the guide, you get an amazing tour. Very informative. Beautiful butterflies.

  My friend and I signed up for this adventure to get out of town and see the beautiful space created. Fabian was our guide. He was amazing! Great communication about... read more expectations and where to meet. Very knowledgeable about PV and passionate about the butterfly sanctuary he works for. Definitely a great experience for something different and calming.

  The sanctuary is quiet and magical, it took less than an hour to learn a lifetime of information about butterflies. Our guide Chris was very knowledgeable and engagaing, his passion... read more for the environment is inspiring. At the end we got to release newly born butterflies, great

  This excursion was something 3 people in my party participated in. It was NOT wheelchair friendly at all and we had to take a taxi which ended up costing more... read more than the actual exhibit because it was far away from our hotel on the Malacon and the taxi driver had to wait for us an hour to give us a ride back or we would have been stuck out in the middle of the jungle. It was fun and thankfully I had a few big guys who made this experience possible for me in a manual wheelchair but I would not recommend it for anyone with mobility issues. The tour guide was awesome and the releasing of the butterflies at the end was really cool. Then I had to pee and that was a whole new problem trying to get to the bathrooms that were far away and not accessible at all. I should have done a lot more research on the accessibility but I just wanted to experience the pretty butterflies!

  Wonderful and informative visit to the Mariposario Jardin Magico! We booked the private transport and tour on their website, and they picked us up at our Alta Vista condo in... read more a lovely and comfy sedan for the 40-minute drive. The driver, Guillermo, waited while we took the 2-hour tour of the garden with the owner, Fabian. It was a warm day with not much breeze, and the garden has a filtered sun fabric top, so bring a hand fan and water. Fabian‘s passion and knowledge of butterflies is outstanding. You will learn things you never knew, see things you’ve never seen, take dozens of photos, and even release a butterfly or two while making a wish (and getting a little emotional). The package includes door-to-door transport but we opted for our driver to drop us at a restaurant on the way back instead, and took an Uber home. Recommend 100%! Kids welcome too!
