We loved this place, over 3000 Iguanas that you can interact with and feed them, had no idea they were so friendly, they loved to have their tummies rubbed. Also big fish and a monkey who likes to steal your glasses, beware.

Nice exhibits with information displays. Knowledgable people most of whom volunteer their time to save the iguanas from extinction on the island. This is a must see if you love iguanas.

A great place for the kids to go and experience, very educational and gives good onsite into the wildlife

Visit this little gem when in Utila. The dedication to mission and the care taken in the educational/interpretive materials is evident. The young volunteer who guided me (Jose) had a passion and knowledge about his subjects that I only wish I had experienced in my formal education years. A guided tour costs $3.00. They also offer a variety of inexpensive and intriguing ecological tours -- bats, underwater caves, kayaking the river and mangroves (my time in Utila was ending so I didn't get to experience them). If you're a history or nature buff, this, Munchies, and Altons are the best place on the island to partake in conversation.

The Iguana Station is an NGO dedicated to the continued survival of the endemic iguana species to Utila, lovingly referred to as the Swamper. At the Iguana station, where one can volunteer, you can see the rare Swamper being bred and taken care of; depending on the time of year, you may even see some hatchlings scurrying along their cages. A visitor has the opportunity to feed female swampers fresh crabs that are regularly caught by the volunteers, and visitors are also given a tour of the site, get an opportunity to see the oldest living Swamper around today, and get an educational tour of the life and times of the Swamper, his habitat, and also information on other reptiles and amphibians on the island.
