little water cay

Iguana reserve was just so so. Tons of iguana and a small building with a few signs that provide info. Excellent sand beach though - great for exploring where we saw a 3 ft lemon shark and followed him around in the shallows. Path to other side of the island was closed due to maintenance??? Interesting but not a must see.

We visited the island as part of a snorkeling tour. We saw two of the iguanas. There are very interesting and easy to watch. The beach in this area is very nice.

Not much here but some iguanas and a little bit of information and some beautiful views.Which is pretty cool and well worth it as long as this is a stop-off on a more involved excursion like a kayaking trip or a boat trip. I can't imagine making this a destination in its own right.

We stopped at Little Water Cay on a snorkel trip and were mesmerized by its beauty. This uninhabited island across the Leeward Going Through is surrounded by pale blue water and is home to green iguanas. Once you hike toward the center on one of the paths, stand still and listen - and you will hear the iguanas moving around and can then find one to watch - fascinating! It's worth visiting this island, whether it's on a snorkel, kayak or paddle board trip.

We stopped at Little Water Cay during a snorkeling tour & were just amazed by its beauty. While there are paths, it appeared as though most people do not stay on them. We were only able to see a couple of iguanas, however this could’ve been due to the side of the island we were on. (We weren’t on the side with the Boardwalk.) Of the little time we had on the island, we spent most of it on the stunning beach, Half Moon Bay. Whether you stop by during an excursion, or you kayak from Leeward Marina, you won’t want to leave this pretty place!

Close to Provo with great swimming and a lovely new visitor's centre. Nice to see the Rock Iguanas. Informative signage throughout.

First of all, this is not a tourist park. It isn't Disney World. It's a nature reserve for a specific species of Iguana which operates on a shoestring and funds itself by visitors.That having been said it's a lovely afternoon out and you can get there as part or a larger tour or by getting a boat. Prepare to get wet when landing on the beach.I've been going there every year for a decade and it never ceases to fascinate. The guides are generally wardens and biologists and know a great deal about the Iguanas, the history and the conservation.Apart from which it is just quiet and lovely. I could watch them all day!It was seriously damaged a few years ago by the hurricanes, but they have mostly rebuilt now.Go. Not polished but you won't regret it.

Took a 5 minute boat ride out to the island with Caribbean Cruisin'. Many rock iguanas on the two hiking trails. The iguanas are rather small compared to others we've seen in Mexico. If you go to the north side of the island, not many people venture that far and you can have the whole beach to yourself. Did some snorkeling from the beach but didn't see much.

Loved this place - all the iguanas are so cute! It was really beautiful and see all the conch in the water was cool.

It's one hot little island, but there is always a chance to cool down in the beautiful turquoise waters of TCI. Great info and good photo opps. Very unique outing.

We did a kayak excursion through Big Blue Unlimited and we went to this island. It was a beautiful small island with a gorgeous beach. It has a short pathway through it where we were able to see several iguanas! Was quite enjoyable

My partner and I spend two weeks in Providenciales. I would recommend that if you are thinking of heading out to the Little Water Cay that you rent a kayak from Big Blue, conveniently located at the Leeward Marina. We rented a two person kayak (as that was all that remained for rentals) and headed out to first explore the mangroves then to Little Water Cay. It is something you must experience once during your travels to TCI. The park is very well maintained with a boardwalk and marked trail to the north side of the island. The Iguanas will come up to the boardwalk, it is obvious they are used to visitors. There is an $8 park fee/person, quite reasonable when you consider the price of everything else on the island.

This island (cay), officially known as Little Water Cay, but known to the locals as Iguana Island. Many tours can take you there from Turks and Caicos. But because it is a preserve, not everyone can land on the island. There are tours where you walk on an improved pathway, or what we did, they land on a beach and you get to do what you want. We took the all day Caicos Dream Tours and it stops there for a visit for about 45 minutes as part of the overall trip. The island has resident iguanas that are pretty used to being around people, and you can get some pretty good closeup pictures posing next to these prehistoric looking critters. They are a bit more shy than the ones we saw when we visited the Bahamas, where on that "iguana island", they came running to the beach as the boat approached to get grapes. In this case, the iguanas were hanging out off the beach in the shady area where there were bushes and trees, so you have walk a few hundred feet to see them.

We kayaked over to Little Water Cay, walked the trails, and saw a gazillion curious iguanas of all ages.

This was my first experience at visiting a beach or island that was deserted; except for the Iguanas of course! We saw four of them on our visit. Half Moon Bay was incredible; lots of sponges, sea fans and shells washed up. Highly recommended!!
