I was delighted that these people are working hard to prevent iguanas from becoming extinct on the island. The Iguanas are everywhere, in the trees all over the ground and are very friendly. Tip they like having their backs scratched!! Well worth a visit to support this local effort.

You will not believe how many iguanas you will see! Amazing how tame they are! There are other things to see here, too.

Fortunate to know someone living on the island, we were brought to this reservation where the iguanas are kept safe and profiteering. There are over 3000 of them, all sizes, all ages. Don't miss this site and the people are pleased to explain the details and reasons for their commitment.

My wife and I were drawn by the opportunity to see large number of free roaming iguanas. We did not know that there were other animals kept there in cages. The monkeys in particular are in cages that are far too small and it is impossible not to notice how obviously sad and neglected they are. We ran into two other groups of people and they also remarked about how sad they looked, and how sad it was to see them kept in such small, dirty cages. One monkey was exhibiting classic signs of prolonged confinement, lack of appropriate attention and neglect; it was circling the cage in repetitive, unnatural ways, over and over and over, obviously stressed and stir crazy. Another monkey was visibly distraught, almost lifeless in the corner of its cage. There was trash strewn about in the cages and very little effort to approximate in any way their natural environment. There are also turtles in a concrete circle that was once likely a pool of water, but now just has a muddy area and nothing else at all for them. The caged area around the dock jutting out into the water has a bunch of large tarpon in it. What does any of this have to do with iguanas? The makeshift buildings and disarray on the rest of the grounds are further evidence that the owners are unfortunately not committed to keeping this a clean, friendly environment for the animals. This place is honestly awful and I only wish there was something more that I could do than write a bad review. My wife and I left there depressed and cannot shake the image of the desolate looking caged monkeys in particular. The fee of $10 per person is evidently not being primarily invested in the care and protection of the animals.

I have never laughed so hard while be completely terrified before! But in the end we had a great visit! It took quite awhile for my girls to enjoy themselves though...they were a bit overwhelmed with the hoards of iguanas surrounding them.

you pay $10 to get in no big deal and it keeps the park going.but you basically walk in about 20 feet get to see about 100 of the little critters. feed them and that's about it . after that then what ? take some pics and leave.

Amazing to see so many iguanas in one place. Had fun feeding them and seeing other rescued animals. Definitely worth seeing.

Lots of Iguanas and staff was very informative. Enjoy the stop. Enjoyed feeding them. Stop from our Cruise trip at Roatan Honduras

Conflicting information: This place will cost you $10.00pp for entrance, rather than a "donation" to protect the iguanas. This is a good cause that is overpriced. Approx. 3 thousand iguanas are protected in this park, but a 2 or 3 dollar entrance fee is what it's worth.

Lots of Iguanas lounging around, probably because they are fed all day by tourists. I bet they can recognize the sound of the buses coming up the road and just to attention to get their share of the leaf they hand us to feed them. Other than the iguanas, there's a monkey that'll grab anything that comes near him; sunglasses, hats, cameras, etc.

This was a quick stop on our tour of the island. Great opportunities to take photos of these creatures. Somewhat touristy but I'm glad I went

I had a good time at this park...worth the admission fee. We fed the Iguanas a huge leaf and they went nuts when our guide tossed a banana into the group. Lots of good photo opportunities. A couple monkeys to see as well. There were tarpon being fed sardines and on the other side of the pier two fairly large lobsters to see.

Worth a visit, tons of Iguanas and a beautiful dock. It costs $10 which I thought was a little steep but it was fun

It was fun to see all the iguanas and feed them. But the rest was kind of boring. They do have a nice gift shop though.

Arch's Iguana farm is a must see destination on Roatan. They have several thousand iguanas, all roaming free and all content not to leave. They are well fed and protected from poachers. You can feed them leaves and they crawl all over your feet, clamoring to get more. There are people there who will tell you about the Iguanas and answer any questions you may have. The Arch family also protects a good part of the Marine Park in French Key. This is a 24/7 job to try and keep the poachers from stealing conch and lobster. For a fee they will take you out on a new barge to go snorkeling with some HUGE lobsters. They will show you giant and baby conch, eels and other sea creatures. We have gone out with Sam Arch 2 times now and I highly recommend an afternoon in the water with him. There are so many fish there that you don't see in other areas, like Frank, the 4' barracuda that usually accompanies Sam. We have seen lobsters bigger than our dogs, eels, beautiful conch and an amazing amount of fish. They have a new venture called Arch's Aquatic Adventure, it's on FB, check them out. It's so worth the money to snorkel with Sam, he grew up in these waters and aside from his profound respect for the sea life, his knowledge of the undersea world is nothing short of incredible.!
