Beautiful mission with a memorable experience! The perfect party favor or a meaningful gift to loved ones.

My family & I came across Paradise Monarchs at an event. Since then, my daughter has been obsessed with butterflies! Btw, my daughter is 2. When we get the chance to go to the Kaka'ako farmers market on Saturdays it's a must to stop by & pick up a chrysalis for my daughter. We were able to win one of their giveaways they held on their Instagram & won a free chrysalis! So awesome! It's such a great experience with the chrysalis especially the releasing of the butterfly part! Henry is so friendly & very knowledgeable. These chrysalis make great gifts & even party favors! Make sure to check them out on Instagram & give them a follow! Highly recommend! read more

They have an amazing idea and are working on the regeneration of the Monarch butterflies, which are depleting in nature! I was very impressed that they connected the business in a unique way while entertaining people because of the big challenge! They put the Monarch chrysalis in a small clear box, which is like a nice gift! You can enjoy watching the process of turning from chrysalis to butterfly for several days. It made us excited, as if we were looking forward to Christmas! When the chrysalis becomes a butterfly, release it to the natural world, hoping that there will be more Monarch butterflies in the natural world. We enjoyed this process twice. My son said, "This butterfly is my friend!" And was very sad to say goodbye to the butterfly. But in those few days, I think my son had a great experience and learned a lot. After meeting them, I noticed that the butterfly caterpillars on the leaves of the crown tree in my neighborhood were gone. Before the coronavirus spread, we took a walk every day to see many butterfly caterpillars on the leaves of the crown, so it was very shocking that they were really gone. I would like to continue to support their great endeavors!! read more

I first heard of Paradise Monarchs from a from a friend's IG and decided to surprise my son with his own chrysalis. Henry was very helpful during the ordering process and provided additional info when I picked up. My son enjoyed checking his chrysalis every day and on release day, watched the Wild Kratts monarch butterfly episode before setting ours free. Henry provided additional resources when we were thinking about raising caterpillars. Because of Henry, we now have 3 little crownflower plants of our own and are trying to do our part in keeping the monarch butterflies around! read more

I have to give them 5 stars because from beginning to end the experience was absolutely amazing.

Adopting a chrysalis was such a great experience. My daughter is two and she loves butterflies. We discovered Paradise Monarchs while browsing through the Kakaako Farmers Market. I am so glad we found them. My daughter and myself enjoyed experiencing our chrysalis bloom into a butterfly. They come in such a beautiful home and the booth attendants also gave my daughter a butterfly stick. Overall she enjoyed the learning experience and it is also such a beautiful way to help our planet. Great lesson for the keiki! read more

I came to Oahu to visit my best friend and as a thank you gift, I wanted to give him something really personable and unique. I started researching and learned about Paradise Monarchs and reached out. They were super fast and responsive regarding my order. I had a lot of questions, so thank you so much for answering them all! I ordered in advance before I flew into Oahu so timing was perfect as there can be a waitlist. I arranged for pick up, they do have delivery service available, I forget how much off the top of my head. Once I received it, I presented the gift to my best friend and he was literally soo touched. And omg, they even let you name your chrysalis so when we got the packaging, there was a greeting letter addressed to our chrysalis. SO THOUGHTFUL! (We named it Baby-ya, since that's our nickname for each other) Once our butterfly hatched, we documented the experience and my best friend made a wish as Baby-Ya flew away. It was totally unique and felt really spiritual. Especially during this crazy pandemic time it was just the thing we needed. It gave us something to look forward to LOL. Honestly, thank you Paradise Monarchs. If I knew more people in Oahu, I would definitely buy more and share this as a special gift to my friends and family. read more

We got chrysalis box from the owner Henry for my 4 years old daughter, and we were met with a very warm welcome and felt like VIP customers. Packaging was also beautiful - with perfect instructions about the gift, and we red it together with my daughter and she was excited to follow the instructions. I haven't seen her so excited for days! Just waiting for the morning to see how the butterfly is doing, and how much it has grown. The release moment was magical, and we were just so grateful for this gift as our daughter got to see the circle of life for a butterfly. This is a perfect gift for weddings, birthdays, baby showers! It makes everyone happier! read more

I contacted Henry of Paradise Monarchs to purchase his beautiful Chrysalis' for the boys in my family!! Henry was so pleasant and very informative. The presentation and packaging of the Chrysalis' was AAA+. We really loved the information card that was included! It gave us all the tips on what to watch for and also when & how we were to release the Monarch butterfly. The anticipation of being able to see the butterfly emerging sparked the boys' curiosity and it became a tool to learn more about them. All that aside, it was also so much fun to have the boys name their butterflies! The naming process ultimately gave our butterflies an identity and in our house, "BUBBLES," became an "official pet" of the household! We will definitely be purchasing more in the near future!! read more

I purchased a butterfly for my sister's 17th birthday. She said it was the most unique gift she has ever received. She also went on to say what an amazing experience being able to witness the transformation of the butterfly was for her. Metaphorically speaking, the butterfly is her. She will be a woman soon and flying free into the world and I wanted this experience for her. Henry of Paradise Monarchs was awesome. A genuinely friendly guy who really enjoys his work with the butterflies. Each box is beautifully arranged. The gift box is elegant and beautiful as well. He customized the informational cards about the butterflies with the gift receiver's name as well. The information was very informative and simple for any age to understand. His estimation of the hatching out of its crystallis was on point. Customer service was excellent. Pick up was a breeze. Can't wait to purchase again. This gift is versatile for any age group and any occasion. read more
