breeding plants are emphasized to the visitors. All the stages of the
butterfly life cycle, eggs, caterpillars, pupae, butterflies can be
observed in either the main garden or attached nursery.

other special occasions.
LOCATION
Boracay
Butterfly Garden is located on the beachfront of the Bolabog Beach and is
only a 5 minute walk from the D'Mall Shopping Centre, or a seven minute
walk from White Beach D'Mall Entrance. The fastest and easiest way from
D'Mall is to cross the main road at the D'Mall main road access and walk
eastwards on the road until you reach the BWSS gateway.(Boracay Water and
Sewerage System).
The road ends here but to the left of the gate there is a small walking
track that takes you all the way to the Bolabog Beach. Turn right for 50
metres and you arrive at the Boracay Butterfly Garden. You can also take a
Trike using any of the 4 access roads to Bolabog Beach followed by a short
walk along the beach. It is also a popular stopover on the "Island Hopping
Boat Tours", where the boats are able to anchor right out front of the
Boracay Butterfly Garden, but confirm with the boatman first to make sure
it is on their scheduled stops.
