Even though the island of Boracay is already filled with the many wonders of nature with its fine white sand beaches, clear blue waters teeming with life and a landscape with ample greenery, there are other attractions on the island where nature takes center stage.  Boracay's Butterfly Farm is a venue where one may get to learn more about butterflies and how they are crucial in maintaining the ecological balance in our environment. 

Located at Bolabog Beach, Boracay's Butterfly Farm is an unlikely but welcome establishment in this tourism-centered island where you'll see rare and beautiful butterflies by the beach with educational tours being conducted that show visitors the life cycle of butterflies, with eggs, caterpillars, pupae and the adult butterflies.

the farm also breeds several unique and rare species of butterflies to help in their conservation as well as maintaining healthy populations of these truly fascinating insects. 

Boracay is indeed a good destination. There is always something to discover that may nurture our mind about the richness of our environment.

 

Tips and Trips to Boracay

Boracay Island is separated from Panay Island by a narrow strait. The island is located opposite the Barangay of Caticlan in the municipality of Malay, Aklan. Transportation across the strait is provided by boats operating from the Caticlan jetty port.

By air: Boracay is served by two airports in Aklan province: one in Kalibo and Godofredo P. Ramos Airport (commonly referred to as "Caticlan airport") in Malay.

By sea: The western part of the Strong Republic Nautical Highway (SRNH) passes through Caticlan, with car ferries from Roxas, Oriental Mindoro docking at the Caticlan jetty port. Several bus companies operate provincial bus routes from Manila which pass through Caticlan via the SRNH.

 

Getting Around

The two main modes of transport are via motor-tricycles along the main road or by walking along the beaches. Pedicabs are also available for transport along the Beachfront Path. Other means of transportation include mountain bikes, quadbikes and motorbikes, all of which can be rented.
