Plan a Special Visit to Nonsuch Island
Bermuda has opened Nonsuch Island! A new, half-day tour, operating on Thursday morning and restricted to 25 participants per week, lets visitors explore Bermuda's most treasured wildlife reserve, Nonsuch Island, which has never before been accessible to the public. The unique habitat on Nonsuch is representative of the prehistoric, native environment of Bermuda and visitors get a guided island tour conducted by conservationist Dr. David Wingate of the Bermuda Biological Station for Research. The 4-hour tour costs $75 and includes lunch. Proceeds go to support BBSR's local environmental research and education programs. |

A hike along the Coastal Walkway affords beautiful views of Harrington Sound.

Permanent collections include an exotic-orchid house, the Hibiscus Garden, a subtropical fruit garden, palm garden, plumeria collection and cacti and conifer plantations.
