    Wonderful experience seeing the butterfly transform
    Lina C.

    Super awesome experience to see the butterfly transform from the chrysalis that you can then release to help increase the monarch butterfly population. Unique gift for special occasions or just for yourself. Highly recommended. It's a good, education, fun experience for children and adults. Perfect for special events like wedding, anniversary, and birthday. The company promptly responds to emails and can try to accommodate request based on the date you want to gift the chrysalis.

    Great experience buying a chrysalis and watching my daughter throughout the week long experience. She was so excited to set her butterfly free. She named her Snickerdoodle. You can order through Instagram and communication is both great and easy. Pick up instructions easy to follow and COVID safe.

    This was such a fun experience, for all ages! I bought a chrysalis for my cousin for her birthday and she loved it. I also bought one for myself, because I'm a kid at heart . And one for my friend w It's so nice to appreciate the little things in life. Like watching the beautiful evolution of a butterfly. The customer service from Paradise Monarchs is amazing. Henry, the owner, is very responsive and available to answer any questions. The Chrysalis came in a cute little display box, and contained a personalized card with instructions and what to expect in the evolution process. For me, the releasing part was most fun and breathtaking to watch. It's an amazing and memorable experience overall. Would recommend!

    Paradise Monarchs chrysalis/butterflies is such a beautiful gift to give to yourself and your loved ones. The first time my sister gifted me this as we were in search of a house, it was such a bittersweet moment. I have come to love butterflies and it hits so close to home as butterflies are spiritual creatures that I hold very dear to my heart especially after losing our father and my boyfriend's mother in 2017. So after that one gift, I purchased more & won a chrysalis from a giveaway that they were having. Each one, I'd give my butterflies a special name in Japanese which each carry a special meaning that I can always cherish in my heart. For 4x straight, they all have been girls. but trust me when I say that they can brighten any one's day. I do hope to have them on my special day/wedding whenever that will happen (*hint hint mr. boyfriend lol) because they will definitely something special to have each butterfly set free with special wishes made for us. Or maybe as a special party favor for a special occasion. So if you're stuck on what to gift that special someone or loved one, contact Henry and get yourself a chrysalis to capture the beauty of your very own butterfly to tell your wishes & hopes to as you set them free. Trust me, it's a bittersweet special moment to experience for yourself or truly gift someone.

    When I first received my butterfly!

    My boyfriend gifted me a butterfly for my birthday, and I thought it was the most unique gift I've ever received. I LOVED it! After a small incident when the box was accidentally bumped and the chrysalis detached from the stick (my fault), I contacted Henry immediately, and he was SO supportive & helpful. I've never experienced a business owner with as much compassion and a calming nature as he had during the process of making sure my butterfly was going to be okay. All in all, a beautiful Monarch butterfly emerged, and it was so special to witness the beautiful process with my own eyes. I'd recommend this gift to anyone of any age as it is both super educational and rewarding. Support local & gift a loved one with this incredible experience!

    **Disclosure: I won my monarch chrysalis through a Yelp giveaway.** I picked up my monarch box at the KailuaTown Farmer's Market near the Kilua Cinema. It was rainy but their booth was easy to spot; they had all their boxes lined up on display, as well as a milkweed plant with a bunch of caterpillars on it! I even had the luck to chance upon one of the chrysalises opening and the butterfly emerging. Each box is $35 and their projected emergence date is written as well. It comes with a pamphlet explaining what to expect, as well as a replacement guarantee if for some reason your butterfly doesn't emerge, which unfortunately is nature and is a possibility. I took mine home and put it on my night stand and waited. Unfortunately, it emerged while I was sleeping and I just woke up with a full monarch butterfly next to me! It was a wonderful experience to be a part something that usually happens away from my every day life. As part of my brochure instructions, I made a wish as I released the butterfly. I would definitely recommend the box as a lovely gift, as an experience for kids, or as a great giveaway for an event!

    We contacted Henry for assistance with a big project, and ordered several boxes for our landscaping clients over the Holidays. He was super friendly and quick to reply every time I reached out. He even delivered!! Can't recommend enough, everyone loved it, including us! Mahalo

    Absolutely phenomenal experience. So much thoughtfulness and aloha is put into these little butterflies I am so grateful for the work that they do. We loved watching our baby grow and setting him free! I definitely recommend this for all ages!

    I originally found out about Paradise Monarchs on Instagram. I loved the idea of helping with the conversation of the butterflies. The first time I purchased a chrysalis was at the Kakaako farmer's market. Henry is so friendly and great at explaining everything! He always makes sure to answer any questions you have. The chrysalis boxes make such a unique gift and you won't be disappointed!

    If you are looking for a unique gift for your loved ones, I definitely recommend purchasing a live chrysalis box from Paradise Monarchs! I purchased 3 gift boxes this past holiday season for my niece and my best friend's kids. The ordering process was fast and easy (thanks, Henry!) and delivery was free since my order was over $120. I definitely appreciated them making the delivery to Mililani esp. during the busy holidays + in the middle of a pandemic! Everyone loved their gift boxes. They were decorated with a Christmas theme and were all personalized with instructions included as well. The best part was seeing how excited my niece was throughout the week waiting to see the transformation of her chrysalis into a beautiful butterfly. I will definitely be making more purchases from Paradise Monarchs in the future!

    Are you looking for a fun, thoughtful and unique gift? Then this experience is a must!! I purchased one as a gift and one for our family. The packaging is beautiful, the card very detailed and personalized. Henry, owner and butterfly dad was very professional and extremely knowledgable. It was so much fun watching our chrysalis until it emerged. We had such an amazing experience, I am definitely looking forward to gifting and sharing this experience over the upcoming holidays.

    This business is definitely amazing! Henry is so helpful and knowledgeable and I love learning new things about monarch butterflies. I was looking for a gift for my daughter for her birthday and I heard about Paradise Monarchs and how we would be able to get our very own chrysalis and experience it turning into a butterfly. I thought, "why not get it and she can watch it turn into a butterfly". Henry made the ordering and pick up process easy as he is in our area anyway. My daughter was so excited to name her new friend and watch it every day until the big reveal. The box itself was super cute with a little card inside to give us some info on how to care for it from when we get it to when we are releasing the butterfly. I think this is a unique and creative way to sneak in some learning about this butterfly and appreciate it s beauty. I was able to read books about butterflies to my daughter and she was so interested in wanting to know more about what her butterfly will look like and what it'll do. We were glad to have two successful releases and we can't wait to order more. If you're looking for a fun, creative, and unique gift, you have to check this out. So glad to be able yo experience something like this. I was very satisfied with my whole experience.

    Great gift idea for any age. Bought this for my mom. She loved it!! The anticipation of waiting for the butterfly to transform was so exciting. Henry made the purchasing and pick up process so easy. The packaging was well made and very cute. Highly recommend!!!

    So many exclusive Disney items here at Disney Aulani that's not sold online! When I went April '26…read morethey even had some items discounted like 40% off Aulani Dooney & Bourke items and 30% off Tommy Bahama items. We only bought stuff we were actually going to use and it was hard not to buy extra things because they were cute or exclusive. If you're a DVC member it's 10% off purchase. Bought: - Mickey Mouse wreath with sand dollars (cashier gave it in an unopened box which I put in a carry on bag grocery bag) - Plumeria Mickey light up necklace - Aulani sterling gold 18k bracelet - Leighton Lam Designs necklaces in plumeria, monstera, and hibiscus design (all online on brand site) - malie plumeria lotion was heavenly

    What a lovely boutique!!…read more Almost missed this one thankfully we were curious to browse around as this isn't on a heavy traffic area but is a great sized shop carrying more high end items like Dooney bags, Pandora charms all of course Disney...suuuuuper cute and done just so tastefully sweet! Lots of home decor items weather it's Disney or that Hawaiian tropical touch they even have more affordable jewelry that's nice and dainty that we both were just staring down. So much fun items to see and love the selections here is not to be missed. Thank you!

There are so many stores here, so when you do visit the Waikele Premium Outlet, hopefully you'll find a store that will appeal for you. As for me, a few of my favorite stores I like to visit is - the Lowe's hardware store, Reyn Spooner, & the Van's shoe store. Beside shopping, the outlet mall also has restaurants, a small food court, & numerous food trucks in the parking lot so finding something yummy to eat shouldn't be too hard. Parking here is a breeze, as the outlet mall has ample parking. If you don't have a car, I noticed a lot of tourist would catch a shuttle to this outlet mall.
