    Wander the tropical rainforest aviary where jewel-coloured butterflies float in the air. See the fluorescent green and yellow Cairns birdwing, the vibrant Blue Eggfly and more! The sanctuary is home to more than 1,500 butterflies that have all been hand reared on the premises. Visit the laboratory and learn about the breeding cycle, see how the butterfly eggs are collected and cleaned, and then hand raised into caterpillars before turning into beautiful butterflies.

Gorgeous!

Published on Oct, 2024

Who would have thought butterfly’s would be a highlight of our holiday! Even hubby enjoyed walking around and trying to find all the different ones. The kids had a blast and I could have stayed there all day!

Colourful experience!

This is a really good thing to do in Kuranda, they have many different species of butterfly there, and they fly all around you and often land on you. It’s also a great experience for kids, there were many there who enjoyed it a lot and gained a lot of knowledge about butterflies.

Butterflies Butterflies everywhere! What an amazing Sanctuary and so beautiful inside to walk around. Take your time and move slowly through the Sanctuary and you will see more than you could ever imagine. So great to see the Butterflies being looked after so well. You will leave with a better respect for these colourful and gentle beauties.
