Wonderful garden, set up from scratch by an English couple, out of the jungle. Interesting tour through the jungle and through the garden itself, with plants and trees from all over the world, suitable for the hot, wet climate. Chance to see sloths, monkeys, a variety of birds as well as poison dart frogs.

This is a wonderful tour through a tropical garden. We made reservations for the tour and the extra---lunch and use of the pool! It was a magical day! We watched hummingbirds and oropendola feed as we ate our fabulous lunch. The variety of plants at the garden is astounding! It is obvious that a tremendous about of work went into... More

Finca Los Monos Botanical Gardens is an absolute gem in Bocas del Toro. We attended one of the tours and it was absolutely wonderful. Lin, the owner, conducted the tour.

Lin was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable about all the plants and had us sampling fruits around... More

So he drove us to meet Lin Gillingham the owner. The following day we returned for a two hour tour of her botanical... More

I had to go twice and I may go back again before I leave Panama. It is hard to believe that this couple that had a vision of a lovely botanical garden in Bocas del Toro and that they could hack their way in to paradise with machetes (it took two weeks to get to the center of the 23... More

We did the evening bird watching tour through the garden which was followed by cocktails with the owners. What a marvelous experience! Both the lush beauty of the gardens and amazing variety of birds, as well as the pleasure of getting to know Lyn, "Kiwi", Lukas and the dogs!

I would love to take this tour about ten more times to absorb all of the beauty and the information that was explained. Take a camera. I took about 100 pictures and am having a hard time deleting any of them. Met some great friends and am truly glad that Lula's B & B recommended it.
