The motor hums to life and the afternoon sun lays a hard, glittering path across turquoise water as your private charter eases away from Providenciales' shoreline. In minutes the strip of hotels and sand drops away and the ocean's scale changes — a shallow bank of coral and sand that seems to breathe under the boat. The crew, practiced and personable, points to a distant brushstroke of green: Little Water Cay, home to the Turks and Caicos rock iguana, waits like a small, living museum.

Keep distance and do not feed the rock iguanas on Little Water Cay to avoid habituation and dietary harm.
