Australian Butterfly Sanctuary in the heart of Kuranda is the largest butterfly flight aviary and exhibit in Australia. It is an all-weather experience which is home to over 1,500 magnificent tropical butterflies. You will be amazed by the aerial dynamics of these elusive wonders of nature as you wander through the aviary’s rainforest gardens.
All butterflies in the aviary are local rainforest species, including the electric blue Ulysses and the majestic green and yellow Cairns Birdwing butterflies. Guided aviary tours detailing a butterfly’s life cycle and behaviour are available at no extra cost. Be sure to wear something bright such as red or hot pink and let these beautiful and colourful creatures flutter all over you as you wander through! What an amazing experience for kids of all ages.
Have your photo taken surrounded by beautiful Ulysses and Cairns Birdwing butterflies as a souvenir of your memorable visit to their world. After walking through the aviary, the guide will take you to the breeding laboratory. It houses up to 4,000 caterpillars and this interesting and educational experience provides an opportunity to view at first hand the breeding laboratory through special viewing windows, where you will see the caterpillars in their varying stages of development.
Kuranda is circa 29km from Cairns. Make Cairns as the base and make a day trip to the Butterfly Sanctuary. Cairns accommodation, including holiday accommodation Cairns can be found in OzeHols.
