Today, the Melaka Butterfly and Reptile Sanctuary is home to more than 20 different species of butterflies, including the Black and White Helen (Papilio nephelus), Malayan Birdwing (Troides), and the Malaysian National Butterfly, the Rajah Brooke’s Birdwing

You will feel like Alice in Wonderland watching these magnificent creatures performing their daily routine over the inviting flowers that blooms by hundreds and filled with the magical nectar. For butterflies’ lover, this aviary is not a spot to be missed!

It all begins when the first butterfly was seen flying in the Sanctuary. Ever since then, the flying never ends. Sprawled over an 11 acre jungle site, the Malacca Butterfly & Reptile Sanctuary was first opened to the public on the 1st February 1991. Launched by the Chief Minister of Malacca, the Sanctuary known only then as The Butterfly Park Malacca originally ventured off as a haven for butterflies.

To date, after 22 years of establishment, thousands of images have been captured by our delighted tourists who were amazed by the surprisingly friendly and lovely little pilots in the Sanctuary. The ‘flying’ of the butterfly has since reached the very heart of thousands of tourists in many parts of the world including much of Southeast Asia and Middle East through to Europe. Within Malaysia, the Sanctuary has now established itself as a major tourist attraction in the fast growing historical city of Malacca which has itself been recognized by UNESCO as the World Heritage City since June 2008.

Not only does the flying of the butterfly brings in thousands of tourist to the Sanctuary, amazingly, the magical friendship between the butterflies and reptiles in the Sanctuary has also attracted the Lizards, the Amphibians, the Crocodilians, the Mammals, the Birds and last but not least, the Koi in the Koi Garden.

After spending almost about an hour we will be going to the next location.

Wonderful trip to malacca - Butterfly reptile sanctuary has heaps of reptile varieties. The red square malacca museum is informative. Buildings and churches which Ashaari brought me around to see are beautiful. Too much to see and eat. Should have contacted him in advance to arrange a stay over 2 day trip. Ashaari was v patient and brought me loads of interesting information
