These scaly lizards range in shades of  green, gray and black and can grow up to six feet long.  Iguanas are legally protected in the U.S. Virgin Islands, it’s against the law to kill them, which is why you’ll often see them slithering across cafe tables and chairs.  At the Sugar Bay Resort on the east end of St. Thomas, you can grab and up close and personal wild iguana encounter at the resort’s daily iguana feedings.

It’s a fairly inexpensive place to visit and there are several festivals and holiday celebrations throughout the year that draw crowds from out-of-town.

The St. Patrick’s day parade, for example, might be a fun spectacle for children, but you probably don’t want your little ones spending several days (or even hours) among the constant flow of green beer drinkers.

Swim down!

I found Nemo! Also, Waldo.

Many U.S. cities along the coast(s) and other major waterways offer some type of aquarium. Don’t let that fact keep you from stopping at as many as you can. Not only do they each house different species in accordance to their location, but there’s also the chance of a celebrity sighting (still talking about Nemo).

It’s good, wet fun for the whole family!
