Butterfly Bliss & Spice Plantation Perfection! - The Butterfly Conservatory of Goa was an unforgettable and magical place! We saw a handful of different butterflies and had the chance to see India’s largest butterfly, Golden Birdwing. My family and I also saw 2 giant spiders! Our guide was very sweet and shared his story of he and his wife began this place over a decade ago. The facility also features a display of gemstones along with a box full of them which one can mix and match to purchase. The Tropical Spice Plantation came with a warm welcoming when passing through the bridge by means of having flowers tossed at us. It was delightful and we were given a lemongrass & ginger tea before our tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the different spices we saw! To conclude the tour she gave us each a lavender oil drip down our backs to cool us off and promote a feeling of relaxation. There’s a cute small shop to purchase spices, oil, honey, and other natural handmade products for sale, so be sure to make a pitstop there! Just before leaving my family and I enjoyed an array of buffet style Indian cuisine. I highly recommend this tour!

Nice trip in beautiful surroundings - Although it was a bit off season for butterflies, it was still a lovely visit at the sanctuary. Both the owner and the guide were welcoming and gave us a nice tour. The place was peaceful and beautiful. The spice farm was nice as well and the guide gave us a tour and told us lots of interesting things. The chauffeur, on the other hand, seemed to be new. He drove an unnecessary crowded route and didn't seem to know which ways were the best during different times of the day. He also seemed a bit stressed and took some unnecessary risks in traffic. Altogether, a nice and pleasant trip.

Worth a visit if at a loose end - The butterflies are mainly seen from September to December and so not guaranteed sighting outside these dates. The sanctuary is located up a steep hill so no good for those with young children or with mobility issues. Spice plantation worth a visit. The guides are knowledgeable and a short tour is provided before buffet lunch
