You could be forgiven for thinking a "Butterfly Centre" is a boring way to spend an hour of your travel time. But then we ended up in this quality Butterfly Centre called "Flying Colours" as part of our tour round Bohol island in The Philippines. We were quite surprised by it!
It was my first time to visit a butterfly centre. So what actually happens here? First up the entry cost is 35 Philippine Pesos. Works out less than $1 US Dollar so paying it is not an issue. The price includes a guided tour - a lady basically tells you about butterflies, takes you round the sanctuary and helps you take photos.
Once you enter you first see the caterpillars - they are living in glass boxes eating away until they turn into cocoons. Some of the green caterpillars are quite big and you can hold them. Then there is a box with those in cocoons and finally they become butterflies and you can see the process happening live - after a couple of weeks suddenly that caterpillar becomes a butterfly. Quite amazing really. Photos are completely allowed and you can get snap happy!
You get to see the world's largest moth as well and the biggest butterfly native to the Philippines. These are dead however and you will see them in a box, preserved. You can pose for fun photos with them and also with pretend butterfly wings. It is a really brilliant experience and a magical place to visit.
Final part of the tour is basically for getting photos of butterflies. We had them on our noses, chins etc. for photos. It was a short and sweet tour but I really enjoyed it. These random moments of travel are what makes me tick and realise why I love a lifestyle of travel.
What? A butterfly centre called Flying Colours
Where can I find it? In Bohol in the Philippines in Asia
Best way to reach it? You can hire a car or a bike if you want but basically just get a driver and a day tour of Bohol!

To conclude, make sure you head to this amazing little butterfly centre in Bohol in the Philippines. It is a sensational way to spend time on this planet exploring the nature all around us. Be sure to take lots of photos and videos for your memory and rank this one highly on your journeys backpacking the world.
