The Cayman Blue Iguana is native to Grand Cayman and can be found on no other island in the world!
Most of the iguanas seen on the island are the Common Iguana, identified by the black rings on their tails. They are an introduced species and have been taking over the Blues' habitat.
The Blue Iguanas are certainly beloved by all. There has been a very successful breeding program that has helped rehabilitate the population.
The best place to spot these guys is at the Queen Elizabeth Botanical Park where they roam free and pose for photos. This makes a fantastic day trip from Silver Sands.
Not only can you enjoy the company of these relaxed reptiles, there is an easy walking trail with native plants and wildlife, a lake, a pond and an orchid walk to explore.
The Park costs US $10 for adults and is free for kids under 12. It is opened from 9-5:30 daily (be sure to confirm holiday hours) and located on Frank Sound Road.
