Tell me more about Iguana Island. Is it a day trip? bars, restaurants, beaches or just a walking tour to see the iguanas and sea life and then head back?

Iguana island requires a boat trip. If one wanted I think you could even kayak there from Leeward Marina but our boat just picked us up on the beach by our hotel. It’s completely uninhabited, except by a unique species of iguanas only found on a few places such as that island. What we loved about it is that they take you to these islands and areas that are completely uninhabited and unspoiled by anything. Look the same as they did 1000 years ago. So lots of good shelling also. The one we did was a half day, four hours I think and included a few islands. It’s a fairly short boat ride so you get plenty of time to explore.

They dove for fresh conch along the way and prepared it along with rum punch for a snack. They gave the conch shells to whoever wanted them so we got a couple. We did snorkeling but I can’t recall if it was the same boat and excursion. We also did parasailing which I bet the young people would enjoy.

No problem. I’ll be interested in how that all inclusive is. I know it’s super expensive as we had looked before but on a place like Providenciales it might be more worth it than other places because there aren’t tons of other restaurants or things to explore besides the backyard of the hotel at the beach.
