Kingdom of the Monarchs
The Amazing Migration of 300 Million Butterflies
C. Randall
“The three unique sanctuaries provided three different butterfly experiences. Karel is extremely knowledgeable and the sweetest person on the planet. Fernando has the best laugh in the world and you can’t help but smile when around him.”
S. Richardson
"As I walked into each of the butterfly sanctuaries, I felt as if I was entering a cathedral or that I was standing on holy ground. I felt humbled by the profound stillness and silence of the place. The gifts of beauty and grace I received from this experience with the butterflies will be a part of me forever and I will be changed in some way by being present to this miracle. Thank you for your hand in that. Karel Beets was a kind and generous person. I loved having him as a guide!"
S. & D. Emory
"There were simply millions of monarchs up in the mountains. It was a fantastic experience for us and our entire small group. What stands out the most was the services of the guides and how they not only educated us, but also made the trip successful with their caring manner. We'll never, ever forget this trip."
J. Thomas
"It was a truly wonderful adventure -- I loved the small group size. We made some great friends. We hardly ever go on tours, because we mostly travel independently, but we will definitely travel with Natural Habitat in the future."
M. E. Varn
"The whole butterfly experience was unforgettable -- from the ride up the mountain roads and the horseback ride over rock trails to the blizzard of butterflies. What a magical place!"
J. Genser
"This was a flawless, exquisite experience. I am impressed with your organization in every way. No details were overlooked. Everything was planned to perfection. Astrid and Karel went far beyond their professional obligations on this tour. They were genuinely involved with everyone and extended themselves not only as guides but in friendship as well. As a photographer, this trip was a visual feast. As a spirit, it was entirely a different journey that has touched the very core of my being. I applaud everyone on your staff for their efforts. I will never forget the beauty I witnessed in the forest. Thank you."
J. Montgomery
"Witnessing the incredible number of butterflies, seeing the clusters leave a tree and hearing the beating of the wings is what I'll remember most. Photos don't do justice to the magnificent sightings of the incredible numbers of beautiful monarchs."
E. Mangas
"I loved the trip -- it was absolutely perfect. It exceeded all of my expectations. My mother and I had a great time while learning so much. Keep up the good work."
C. Augustine
“I love to travel with Natural Habitat, because you offer professional and knowledgeable Expedition Leaders that not only know what they are guiding but also seem to have a real passion for what they do. I also like that a portion of the money helps WWF and the local conservation areas.”
