scrapycruiser Posted January 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Is it possible to get off the ship in Belize and not encounter an Iguana ? I know everyone loves them, but I am so scared of them. I hate to not get off the ship, but may not have a choice.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loveandbasketball Posted January 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I had the same question and the answer is yes. I just came back and didn't see one BUT I was in a van then the ruins. Our guide said the ones he normally sees where not out. We couldn't go to the beach because of weather so you may encounter them there.

scrapycruiser Posted January 13, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks for your reply. In previous forums people would make jokes about this. But phobias are anything but funny. I love to cruise and mostly in the Caribbean, so I just have to deal with it or stay on the ship. Thanks again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted January 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) The only iguanas we saw in Belize was when we were on the River part of Altum Ha/River Wallace tour. We did not see any at the ruins. Just on the shore while we were in the boat. The ones we saw along the River were much larger than any others I have seen, such as the little ones in Mexico. I think if I met one on land I would definitely go the other way quickly. They reminded me of some kind of dinosaur, almost prehistoric looking.

Loveandbasketball Posted January 13, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I agree phobias are very real. I have a bird phobia and while on the beach in Costa Maya, I felt like I was going to be attacked by all of the different birds. I am sure I made a fool of myself but I don't care. You can only duck so much before people start to notice. LOL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping that I won't see any along the riverbanks on the air boat ride we are taking in Belize. They just scare me to death even if they aren't close to me.

scrapycruiser Posted January 14, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Good luck with your excursion ! I've decided to stay on the ship when we're in Belize. Taking a catamaran ride in Roatan...don't think the creatures swim :rolleyes: Thanks for the support ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted January 15, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 15, 2014 We have been to Belize several times and I have yet to see any iguanas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podie Posted January 24, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I spent a week in Belize a couple of months ago and saw many iguanas, as I have every time I've been in Puerto Rico. They were obviously more afraid of me than I was of them because they didn't come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
