Butterfly Sanctuary

Let's Go ⬆️

Entrance fee ₱100

Tucked into the hills near Mount Bandilaan in Lazi, the Butterfly Sanctuary is a small, privately run conservation garden dedicated to protecting Siquijor's native butterfly species. Enclosed in netting to keep the butterflies safe, the garden lets you walk right among dozens of fluttering species at close range — a peaceful, photogenic stop that's especially popular with families and nature photographers.

For the best experience, visit earlier in the day: butterflies are most active in the morning sunlight, when you'll see far more of them in flight than later in the afternoon. The ₱100 entrance fee supports the sanctuary's ongoing conservation work protecting the island's butterfly population.




Good to know

Rated 4.2/5 on Google Maps from over 600 reviews. Visitors say the sanctuary relies on donations, that several butterfly species can be seen, and that drinks are available on site. The scooter ride up through rice paddies is part of the experience, and it is cooler in the hills. Google Maps listed a closing time of 5pm.
