bocas butterfly garden

NYCtwkt

we had a lot of rainy days and were looking for some fun things to do. This is a very cute place and it's about a 10 minute boat ride from colon. The guy who owns it or works there was very sweet and gave us a tour. Butterfly hide out when it rains so best to go on a sunny day or expect to see about 4 butterfly. Very cool place that being said. Just make sure you have a taxi planned ahead of time to pick you up on your return.

The place is beautiful, especially the mangrove when you arrive by boat, and the trees surrounding the property, which I took the liberty to explore, while waiting for our boater to return, but instead of the so many butterfly species announced in travel guides, you can see barely 5 or 6, and the place really looks neglected. Keep your 5$ for something better!

Don't waste your money. There is maybe 3-4 butterflies to see. The overall condition of the place is very poor and it costs $5 to enter a tiny dome with a few butterflies.

A 5 minute boat ride from Bocas town further along the island, but not possibel to get there by road or path, the Butterfy garden is small, but you can walk into the 'tent' itself among the butteflies. Sit and watch them fly about and rest. Great for taking photographs. The life history of butterflies can also be followed, and tiny frogs can be seen outsdie the garden. Make sure you wear lots of repellent, particularly round feet and ankles. The san flies are nasty.

Awesome! Come support a local spot. Quiet & feels like you're in the middle of the jungle & it's just a short stroll from Bocas marina. Louis, the owner & Antonio showed us around & explained all the phases of butterflies. They also have a terrarium w/ frogs. And we also spotted a sloth! Fabulous photo opportunity.

As others have said, you need to take a water taxi here (cost us $2 each both ways = $8 total) then $5 each to get in. There's a butterfly enclosure which is nice to have them flying around you, but there are only really 2 species and not a huge amount of them. Then there is a tank of brightly coloured frogs to look at too, and that's it. We didn't get a tour, as no one was around who spoke English, so we were done in 30 minutes and that was with a lot of strolling. Overall, a nice little place but be aware of what you get for your $18.

Bocas Butterfly Garden is an early morning adventure on a sunny day. The Garden is located by the Bocas Marina, a 5 minute water taxi from town. You will be greeted and taken on a tour to experience the many stages and plant life that butterflies depend on to survive and populate. A great adventure for individuals or families. Ask you Receptionist or visit Reception at Hotel Parque.

Don't expect much but this was a sweet little butterfly farm and the guy working there showed us some caterpillars and some frogs. Nice way to while away a few hours! The butterflies were really beautiful and we had the whole place to ourselves. FYI - you need to take a water taxi there and best to call and check that they're open.

If you choose for a relaxing moment on a short boat trip from town, the garden is the right place, nice job done around the farm and very interesting the butterflies breeding. congratulations.

en Bocas del Toro encontras muchos lugares lindos, muchas playas diferentes que son hermosas, pero este lugar supera a todas!

Der Butterfly Garten ist schwer in die Jahre gekommen, ist nur per Boot erreichbar, kostet 5$ Eintritt und zu sehen gibt's: nichts. Drin genau so viele Schmetterlinge wie draußen. Lohnt sich nicht.

Pour 5$ voir une malheureuse tente avec quelques papillons... les propriétaires étaient gentils, mais sans plus. Ceci-dit, j'étais content de leur donner un peu d'argent.Parrait-il, je n'étais pas allé à la bonne heure pour voir les papillons ! ;-)

Bocas butterfly garden har måske engang været en oplevelse. Nu er det et nedslidt voliere med 5-10 sommerfugle. Det koster 2$ pr. Person at sejle derover og de prøver at tage 5$ pr. Person for indgangen, hvilket er det rene røveri. Der er større chance for at se sommerfugle ved blot at gå en tur ved draco beach istedet.

un lugar lleno de colores, alas y ambiente natural... asi es el Bocas Butterfly Garden. Mi primera experiencia ahi fue maravillosa ademas de la diversidad de mariposas que hay tambien se encuentran otros tipos de atracciones.
