arch's iguana and marine park印象
-
This was a quick stop on our tour of the island. Great opportunities to take photos of these creatures. Somewhat touristy but I'm glad I went

My wife and I were drawn by the opportunity to see large number of free roaming iguanas. We did not know that there were other animals kept there in cages. The monkeys in particular are in cages that are far too small and it is impossible not to notice how obviously sad and neglected they are. We ran into two other groups of people and they also remarked about how sad they looked, and how sad it was to see them kept in such small, dirty cages. One monkey was exhibiting classic signs of prolonged confinement, lack of appropriate attention and neglect; it was circling the cage in repetitive, unnatural ways, over and over and over, obviously stressed and stir crazy. Another monkey was visibly distraught, almost lifeless in the corner of its cage. There was trash strewn about in the cages and very little effort to approximate in any way their natural environment. There are also turtles in a concrete circle that was once likely a pool of water, but now just has a muddy area and nothing else at all for them. The caged area around the dock jutting out into the water has a bunch of large tarpon in it. What does any of this have to do with iguanas? The makeshift buildings and disarray on the rest of the grounds are further evidence that the owners are unfortunately not committed to keeping this a clean, friendly environment for the animals. This place is honestly awful and I only wish there was something more that I could do than write a bad review. My wife and I left there depressed and cannot shake the image of the desolate looking caged monkeys in particular. The fee of $10 per person is evidently not being primarily invested in the care and protection of the animals.

I was delighted that these people are working hard to prevent iguanas from becoming extinct on the island. The Iguanas are everywhere, in the trees all over the ground and are very friendly. Tip they like having their backs scratched!! Well worth a visit to support this local effort.

I had a good time at this park...worth the admission fee. We fed the Iguanas a huge leaf and they went nuts when our guide tossed a banana into the group. Lots of good photo opportunities. A couple monkeys to see as well. There were tarpon being fed sardines and on the other side of the pier two fairly large lobsters to see.

Fortunate to know someone living on the island, we were brought to this reservation where the iguanas are kept safe and profiteering. There are over 3000 of them, all sizes, all ages. Don't miss this site and the people are pleased to explain the details and reasons for their commitment.

Worth a visit, tons of Iguanas and a beautiful dock. It costs $10 which I thought was a little steep but it was fun
-
You will not believe how many iguanas you will see! Amazing how tame they are! There are other things to see here, too.
-
you pay $10 to get in no big deal and it keeps the park going.but you basically walk in about 20 feet get to see about 100 of the little critters. feed them and that's about it . after that then what ? take some pics and leave.
-
Amazing to see so many iguanas in one place. Had fun feeding them and seeing other rescued animals. Definitely worth seeing.

Lots of Iguanas lounging around, probably because they are fed all day by tourists. I bet they can recognize the sound of the buses coming up the road and just to attention to get their share of the leaf they hand us to feed them. Other than the iguanas, there's a monkey that'll grab anything that comes near him; sunglasses, hats, cameras, etc.
