Can only be reached by boat. We did a great trip with Shoreline Adventures, which included a stop at this island. The iguanas are great to watch.

One of our favorite things we did. Caicos Cruisin' at the Ferry station took us over and came back an hour later for us. Cost $40 each. What a deal! We were the only people on the place and saw Iguana after Iguana.

We rented kayaks from Big Blue Unlimited and spent some time meandering around in some lovely mangrove "groves" before heading out to Little Water Cay. The kayaking got a little rough in spots (significant winds/wake), but the island was off-the-charts great. We saw lots and lots of iguanas and walked around to the north side and hung out in a...

We drove to the tip of the island trying to find a boat place to take us to Little Water Cay and after driving for a bit we found Big Blue. I suggest you find the tour company that you want to use before heading here - don't just drive to the marina on Google Maps because its not that... More

If you end up getting out to Little Water Cay, (which I recommend) visit Half Moon Bay, on the opposite side of the calm part of the island, gosh it is just breathtaking! We also saw some iguanas, which was fun for the kids! Definetly recommend!

We had a great stop over here during a boating trip. We got to see rock iguanas and the kids had a lovely time collecting shells and walking a long the beach. If you have time to hit Little Cay during your stay it is worth the trip.

Pristine beaches, beautiful, clear water and lots of laid-back iguanas. Felt like I was in Paradise! Most memorable spot during our trip to Provo.

We went on a fun snorkeling trip off Grace Bay with Island Vibes that included a stop a Little Water Cay. The beach is lovely, and we saw more than half a dozen of the cay's famous Iguanas. Definitely worth a visit.

Rented a tandem kayak from Big Blue and paddled across to the island. Very fun trip, seeing all the Iguanas and views was great. Worth the effort to go over to the island.Kayak rental was $20hr, took us 2hrs to get there and back
