The reason for going to Allen’s Cay was the Rock Iguanas. They are unique to the Cay and are a popular day trip from Nassau! As soon as we anchored, the kids jumped into the inviting water and snorkelled to the beach with the less hardy adults following in the dinghy. Initially we could only see one or two iguanas – but they are fairly large (up to the size of a cat) and reasonably curious so that was probably a good introduction. If you stayed quite still, they approached very close. They move very fast and can be quite unnerving – except that if you make any sudden move in their direction they speedily retreat.
Another dinghy arrived with some food, and suddenly the beach was full of iguanas posing for the cameras!
