The gardens are well tended, the trails paved and the tour was fantastic. Lynne is very knowledgeable on all botanical matters and her live for the plants and trees is very evident. She has a wealth of knowledge and can answer any question. A true treat of the wildlife, flora and fauna of the area. The lemongrass tea and pipa... More

I loved the trip my mother and I took to Finca Los Monos. Lin was wonderful and full of information. The diversity of plant life we saw left us reeling and I would recommend it to any travelers or locals, old and young :) It truly was an amazing experience! Thanks Lin! Kaya More

Lyn asks a nominal fee for a two hour tour of her 23 acre garden that "blows the mind." The rain forest understory is filled with exotic palms, flowering gingers, varieties of banana plants, tropical heliconias, and more wonders to awe the eye. In the canopy, two troops of howler monkeys cavort and sloths slowly creep. A colony of oropendola... More

When our B&B host mentioned the tour of the botanical garden, we were interested for the sake of seeing it, not because we have a deep, thriving passion for flora (I'm more interested in fish, turtles and fauna), so off we went, just expecting it to be a nice way to see some local plant life. We were in for... More

I would highly recommend touring the Finca Los Monos Botanical Garden for anyone staying in Bocas. Lin, the owner and tour guide, has created something magical in these gardens. The botanical gardens stretch over about 35 acres of land although the walking tour only covers 2-3 hours of the property. The highlights include hundreds of species of flowering plants from... More

We want to give high praise to the Fina Los Monos Botanical Garden in Bocas de Toro: www.bocasdeltorobotanicalgarden.com. This is a labour of love by a local couple, set on a beautiful hillside. Implausible flowers bloom between a remarkable assortment of palms and other plants, including many spices and unusual fruits. It’s a great place for birdwatching; we saw red... More

We recently went to Panama in Sept. 2009. Walking to town and saw the sign to the garden for a guided tour that started the next day. Was pleasantly surprised at the thought and detail put into these gardens. Lin was very knowledgable and gracious. If you enjoy leisurely sightseeing, this is for you! Thanks Lin- Matt and Angela, Austin... More

Just outside of Bocas town is this hidden gem. Lin and her husband Dave have created a beautiful, large tropical garden and a great facility for weddings and the like. They sell their tropical flower arrangements to the hotels and restaurants in the area. You can take a guided tour of the gardens and see the immense collection of tropical... More

We visited this beautiful garden on our last day in Bocas. We were the only visitors at the time and Lin went out of her way to show us her wonderfull garden. We learned a lot about tropical plantlife from her and even saw some howler monkeys along the way. We had a very pleasant morning. More
