How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Discovering Iguana Island: Turks & Caicos

in Travel on 10/14/15

Turks and Caicos: Little Water Cay, locally known as ‘Iguana Island’ is a small island, or cay, in the Turks and Caicos.  It’s also home to the few remaining Rock Iguanas, an endangered species, that used to cover most of the islands in the Turks and Caicos.

What You Will See:

*On this short little trip you will spot Iguanas galore!  They will walk right up to you, and truly are not camera shy, but please don’t feed them.

*You will also see the incredibly calm, crystal clear, bluest of blue ocean and two sets of boardwalks.  You can find a guide to walk you around or explore the small island on your own.  The two boardwalks reach both the north and south side of the island.  You are asked to stay on the boardwalks to observe the endangered lizards.

How To Get There:

*Via a privately booked boat tour or kayak from the Leeward Marina area on Providenciales

(Big Blue Unlimited, Caribbean-Crusin or Island Tours from Beaches Resort)

Insider Tips:

*Bring your flip flops or water shoes as you may have a chance to walk along the waters edge and there are some little burrs in the water that might catch you unaware.

*If you are kayaking over be sure to wear lots of sunscreen and pack some water.  There’s no shade on the island.

*Take your time and walk the whole trail, keeping an eye on the waters edge, you might get lucky and see some incredible marine life.   Stingrays!

Summary:  This little tour of Iguana Island is a great way to get off of the resort, see some of the conservation efforts of the Turks and Caicos, and make some memories!  A great tour for families.

      That is one big, beautiful, well-fed looking iguana! I’ve heard of Turks and Caicos before, but never Little Water Cay. I think I would enjoy it there.

      That is so cool! I know they would probably scare me but I think I could handle that. My son had an iguana once. Obviously these guys are use to strangers!

This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
