Roatan Iguanas

Iguana Park on RoatanArch's Iguana and Marine Park is home to over 4000 of the largest Iguanas you have ever laid eyes on. They are not mean or aggressive iguanas, just curious and friendly cause they seem to know they are safe at Arch's. Iguana is the main ingredient in iguana stew, a favorite of the Roatan locals. It seems that Iguana is known throughout the area as "Caribbean Chicken". Yes, that's right, Iguana is the other white meat! Sherman Arch is doing what he can to protect a breeding population of iguanas on Roatan.

Roatan IguanaIn addition to all of the iguanas, Arch's Iguana and Marine Park also has several sea turtles, very large tarpon, over 200 lobsters, parrots and several monkeys for visitors to view and enjoy. Admission is $8.00 US per person, large or small. Lots of interesting things to see and do. Plenty of photo opportunities at Arch's Iguana and Marine Park so make sure you bring your cameras and fresh batteries. Arch's is also a great place to shoot video of your children interacting with the iguanas of Roatan Honduras.

Roatan IgaunasIn 2004 the Roatan spiny tailed iguana was listed as critically endangered due to small population size and on going habitat destruction. There is relatively little known about the Roatan spiny tailed iguana. They are closely related to the green iguana, common throughout the Caribbean and central America. The Roatan spiny tailed iguana is more aggressive than the green iguana and do not make good pets or do good in captivity. The Roatan spiny tailed iguana can typically grow to 24-36 inches in length and enjoy soaking up the sun on large rocks or in trees. Arch's is doing a great job of providing a safe habitat for the Roatan spiny tailed iguana to thrive.

Roatan IguanasChildren love to pet and play with the iguanas at Arch's Iguana and Marine park. You can find Arch's in French Key, just past the French Harbor turn off. Open daily from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Iguana feeding time is at noon, and is probably the most interesting time of day to visit Arch's as over 4,000 iguanas seem to come out of no where looking to be fed. Arch's Iguana and Marine Park may be found on the main road through French Key, just west of the French Harbor turn off. No appointments are needed, unless you have a group of over 50 people, then please call Arch's at 445-7743.
