👍👍 This was a really neat place with iguanas everywhere. They were just wandering around like they owned the place. Definitely cool to see despite not being a fan of reptiles. You get leaves to feed them. You also visit the baby iguana cage to see where they keep them for a year until they're older and... People often mention iguanas, tour, cool,

    When I decided to go see iguanas, I did not know what to expect. Walking down the path blew my mind. There are so many iguanas you have to literally watch your step. Plus they raise the small iguanas and protect them until they are large enough to be on their own. Even though it was a quick visit, it was very memorable and we are glad we went.

    The tour was just 10 minutes. The guide looked uninterested, didn't bother much explaining, and went away to help park a boat during part of the tour. It all looks a bit like a tourist trap. There's a bunch of iguanas down the way when you enter, and then some fish under captivity. Iguanas are cool, but these seemed so used to tourists feeding them they had lost any natural instincts. Their excuse for having them there is that the locals hunt them for food, so maybe being here could be best for them. I didn't really catch their excuse for having the fish there. It's all 12$.

You get leaves to feed them. You also visit the baby iguana cage to see where they keep them for a year until they're older and bigger before releasing them back to the wild.

    We enjoyed interacting with the iguanas. My only disappointment was that I was expecting to get to hand feed the tarpon but wasn't allowed. The park is not accessible down to the dock to see the tarpon.

    Great location to learn and feed iguanas. The tour guide was knowledgeable and thorough.

    Such a cool place!! One of our excursions from our Royal Caribbean cruise and it did NOT disappoint.

  • 5/5 Summer F. 8 months ago on Google
    This place was great. Loved feeding all the iguanas!

  • 4/5 Cathleen C. 3 months ago on Google New
    Staff was very nice, offered education about iguanas and gave us food for them. Loved the owner's truck that had giant pictures of Tom Brady & Donald Trump on it !!! Visit was about 30 minutes, more than enough time. $12.00 admission - totally worth it just to see the truck!

  • 5/5 Amy R. 4 months ago on Google
    Very cool experience. Wish the tour people would keep track of their own group, the wrong guy kept trying to push me to the wrong tour group even after I told him three times that’s not my group leave me alone.

    Nice cruise excursion. Wonderful to see someone helping to conserve the iguanas. Loved the duck who looks after its blind friend, a rooster. Kind of a surprising business for a staunch Trump supporter (posters and pics adorn his truck).

    OK, now this was AWESOME. So very educational, downright fun for the entire family. Like others have said, the iguanas have the run of the place- they are everywhere! The price was quite reasonable for the time spent and the enjoyment had by all in our party. Booked through Carnival.

  • 5/5 Sydney H. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great place. Awesome staff and beautiful scenery, plus TONS of iguanas. We had a blast feeding them and learning about them, and even holding one for a while! They're amazing creatures and this place was just a blast. Highly recommend you visit next time you're in the area!

    We enjoyed our stop here learning about Iguanas, especially when the kids got to feed them. The smoothies were especially refreshing as well. Very cool spot

  • 4/5 Becky B. 1 year ago on Google
    The guides are very informative and it’s impressive seeing all the animals they have there

  • 3/5 Shandi H. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place. I do wish there was a bit more time and interaction with the Iguanas but it was still a really cool experience. The guide gave a decent amount of information about the place and even some of the fish there at the docks

  • 5/5 Inez H. 2 years ago on Google
    OMG.... best day ever!!! There were so many all over the park.

  • 5/5 Sheila J. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm normally afraid of iguanas but this place makes being around them a fun & educational experience.

  • 5/5 Best Friend J. 2 years ago on Google
    I joined this tour last min. This was our second stop. Very informed tour guide. Beautiful iguanas reserve. Large fish

  • 5/5 Shelby B. 2 years ago on Google
    Had so much fun!! The iguanas were great and feeding was my favorite part.

  • 5/5 S H. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was amazing! There were tons of iguanas everywhere! The staff was excellent and we even met the owner! They had a small gift shop that carried mostly everything souvenir you can think of! I loved our visit here. Highly recommend it!

    My family stopped at Arch's on a recent Royal Caribbean cruise excursion. What's funny is that we didn't realize this was part of the excursion package because there wasn't a mention about it. So, when the small bus stopped, we asked another family if this was correct; they weren't sure either. (Ended up being part of it). The staff at Arch's is top notch...extremely kind and knowledgeable. The reserve is tucked back far off the path of tourists and people. Arch's effort to help the iguanas is a selfless act and defines humanity. I would like to go back and spend more time learning

👍👍 We booked through trip advisor and have zero regrets. This was the high light of all excursions! Just one note, being some extra cash as everyone expects tips. They are not required but we felt inclined because everyone was so great at what they did! Our guide Jerry was the best!
