Boracay Butterfly Garden

The Boracay Butterfly Garden was opened to the general public in April, 2005.

It holds a Wildlife and Collector's Permit from the DENR/PAWB and is registered to breed butterflies.

This garden originally started as a hobby in 2001 for Patrick Manion, a retired chemist from New Zealand and his Filipino wife, Adela Jaudian, who comes from Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.

Tropical Garden

It has now grown into a beautiful tropical garden with lush vegetation and in excess of 200 live butterflies at any given time. The are currently more than 20 different species of butterflies and around 150 tropical plant species in this garden.

Latest Update

In the early hours of 10th Dec.2006, a Signal 4 Typhoon hit Boracay Island and the island was devastated.

A large hardwood tree crashed on top of the butterfly enclosure, weakening the structure, and the resulting wind did much damage.

A decision was made by the owners to dismantle the netted enclosure and make a decision later in 2007 on whether to rebuild it.

Fully furnished, self-contained cottages, have been built on the same site and short and long term rents are available.
