Cayó Iguana

We then head back towards the Cayo Largo area. Ben, Joss and myself decide to take the kayaks to the nearby Iguana Island, a very small low-lying island. We land on the island and immediately come face to face with some very big iguanas. They are all coming towards us, but we manage to avoid them. It turns out that other boats land here with tourists, who feed the iguanas, causing them to expect it now unfortunately. We manage to walk around a bit, before another sailing boat arrives, and a big crowd of day trippers wade to the island. Time to leave. We kayak around the island and head back to where the Neptune left us.

We find the catamaran beached on another Island's beach, where we join the rest of the group spending the afternoon in the shallow water playing volleyball, dancing and having cocktails with our Iguana friends. Later we leave the shore and go further out to anchor for the night.Read more
