A wonderful alternative to the traditional shore excursion! With only 12 participants, this felt like a private adventure. The Warden was a fun boat to travel in. We cruised past mangroves, Pelica…Full review by MrMrsSmith

The hike is very short but steep with rock surfaces that at times provide minimal traction. Not a trail for those with any limitations. Beautiful views from the top make it worth the effort!

It is not often that cannot instantly answer a traveler's question, but you sure have posed a difficult one. Most tours that I can think off that take in Bird Island are either circumnavigation or day excursion tours. I am not aware of any operators running trips just to Bird Island. However all is not lost. I know of two operators who include Bird Island stop overs on their trips. WADADLI CATS, I've used them and they are good. Power plus Sailing Catamaran. Also Tropical Adventures who operate a powered catamaran called Excellence. I don't think tripadvisor likes e mail links being supplied, so you will need to delete the spaces and make it all lower text. ww W. Wadadli Cats. Com Excellence is ww W. Tropical Ad. Com e -mail for wadadli is Wadadli Cats @ Cand W .ag Mr Ross of Wqadadli operates six boats, so I'd try him first. He has plenty of contacts so even if he can't offer a trip on 6th Dec, he may be able to put you in contact with a reliable operator. Also
