What the hour contains
The small review sample is the main caution. Three reviews cannot show how consistently the experience runs. The short description states no minimum age and does not say a release happens at every time slot, so ask the operator about both before you pick a date.
This is not a substitute for a jungle expedition. That is its strength for families with limited stamina, a spare hour or travellers who do not want a boat. It is the wrong purchase for someone expecting a full-day animal encounter or extensive hiking.
The longer alternative
For a longer conservation outing, the Guided Tour to the Macaw Sanctuary lasts 4 hours, costs €76.92 and has 5.0 stars from 3 reviews. Its description centres on free-flying macaws in the forest and local protection work. The butterfly visit is cheaper and simpler; the macaw trip commits half a day.
The verdict
The Butterfly Sanctuary Guided Tour is worth €24.37 when one concentrated hour is exactly what you want. Do not book it on review score alone or assume a release is guaranteed.
