If you are visiting Saint Martin/ Sint Maarten I would highly recommend a trip to The Butterfly Farm, which is located on the North-East side of the island, just South of Orient Bay – see this link to their website, for more information.

It is a  beautiful space with the most exquisite butterflies flying around everywhere and the short tour that we were given was very informative and interesting. We arrived quite late however ( it closes at 15:30 as this is the time the butterflies start to rest – the best time to visit we were told is in the morning and by the way NOT when it is raining – as the butterflies will be gone!).

I fully intend to return and take the girls the next time, I think all children ( and adults alike) will love it  (- they missed it as they were at school- which is going really well by the way!).

A chance to be in such close proximity to such beautiful creatures was a treat indeed.
