East Island Highlights

Enjoy lovely views of the island as you take a scenic drive to the Iguana Hideaway, owned by a local family who wish to conserve and protect the species. Here you will walk amongst the giant Iguana's as they roam freely, some of which are 3 feet long.     

Afterwards, your scenic drive will continue, passing through the small local villages and on to a panoramic viewpoint. Enjoy a short photo stop and perhaps purchase a souvenir from one of the open–air kiosks.

Punta Gorda is your next stop, where you'll watch the Garifuna Dancers performing to the sound of their drums. You'll also learn some of the history of the Garifuna and where the community live. 

On the return drive, a short photo stop will be made at a viewpoint where you can enjoy distant views of a stilt fishing village, once inhabited by pirates and now the home of a family–owned fishing company, the 2nd major industry of the island.
