I was there to take pics for a wedding and didn't get much of a chance to explore unfortunately. But in the extremely brief time I had I got some FANTASTIC pics of the howler monkeys.

Lin, the owner, started from scratch and has established a beautiful surrounding. She and her husband live there with a fantastic home and has created a wonderland for those who enjoy tropical plants and trees. She even offers a tour which includes lunch and a swim in their large pool.

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

The grounds are beautiful and the work that the owners put into the property is unbelievable. Lin was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable about all the plants and had us sampling fruits around... More

Just returned from our second visit to Bocas del Toro. The owner of the hotel we were staying at asked us if we had been to the Botanical Garden yet and we asked him, "what Botanical Garden?" 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
