The butterfly sanctuary was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, Natalia at the front desk was very nice and helpful; all the staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The restaurant area by the river is absolutely beautiful; you could easily spend hours there and still not want to leave. Alejandra, the biologist in charge, was our guide. Her explanation about butterflies, conservation, and do's and don'ts when interacting with them was engaging, informative, and perfect for visitors of all ages. The experience was very interactive, and you could immediately tell how passionate she is about her work and how knowledgeable she is. All of my friends had an amazing time, and two of them even got to release their own butterflies! We will definitely come back and recommend this place to all our friends and family. Honestly, it was the highlight of our trip!

Great experience, I have done many tours, and do give an excellent rating to this group (Perla, Abel, Juan and Mario). It was amazing!! Mismaloya it's a real gem!!! Just what you see on postcards and you tell your self, wow. I wish I was there. (It's affordable and you need to give these guys a chance to show you around the Beautiful and safe city of Puerto Vallarta.
Great trip and everything was pretty good
Really good tour if you want a day to keep you busy. This is highly recommended and they took really good care of us.
Google maps said that this place is closed on Monday, but actually is open. Very unique experience. Biologist is very knowledgable about butterfly and give us introduction of the lifecycle butterfly and also show us in a butterfly garden how to catch a butterfly by hand.
Incredible experience, Perla was an excellent guide, the food and the red sky I ordered were delicious, we loved Abel's energy, and the restaurant staff were also very kind.
I really enjoyed the butterfly experience, and José the intern, Mary, and Juanito were very friendly. Recommended.
Excellent tour, the guides were very friendly, Abel is an excellent person who adds a plus to the tour, which was very informative and interesting.
Very beautiful and very kind, very good.
A really great tour. I live in Puerto Vallarta, but I went to accompany my sister and her family. It is a really beautiful experience to learn a bit more about this lovely port. A really beautiful experience, 100% recommended. I don't have photos of the butterfly sanctuary for obvious reasons, but it is quite beautiful.
Excellent treatment, very comfortable, and the information was very clear.
Excellent attention... They are very kind and attentive to everything, they explain the itinerary well
Very good tour and the guides knew the information completely, in addition to completing the route.
A unique experience, thank you
More commitment to food, very cute butterfly, very rich spirits. Very good staff. We enjoyed the experience. I recommend it.
Very nice place and has a restaurant by a river, it is great to enjoy your food together to nature and at the same time learn to take care of it
I liked the tour, it was an interactive and interesting experience sThey are very relevant information in interesting besides being educational and everyone can understand it
Super good attention, all very friendly, the tour with the biologists very interesting and tw solve your doubts, you enter the butterfly and teach you to grab them, they take photos, all very well. I recommend it!
The butterfly has a few butterflies I do not recommend and has no garden is not fictitious either. They ask you to leave your cell phone when you enter and won't let you take pictures
What a nice place, and super understanding staff. It was an experience that we didn’t expect so much from but to have learned so much from butterflies and to be able to carry them was a very magical thing. After the tour and get to know several of its spirits called Toritos, you can also go down to enjoy the rich stream, we also saw fish and several birds in the area. If you want photos with butterflies, take a camera, cell phones are not allowed.
