Bermuda Nature Walk
Half Day Itinerary
If you want to spend time with Bermuda nature and knowing mystery of the ocean, this is an itinerary worth considering. This should take half day, followed by lunch.
You can easily combine this Bermuda nature walk with Hamilton City Tour in the second half to make it a compact full day's itinerary in Bermuda. The first destination is the Spittal Pond Nature Reserve in Smith's parish.
If you are docked at Kings Wharf, take a ferry and reach Hamilton in 35 minutes, then take a bus (#1 or #3).
If you are in St. George, take bus #1 and directly reach the nature reserve. If you are staying at any other location, check Bermuda Transportation to figure out what may be the fastest and most convenient way to reach Hamilton. You can also see hour by hour timings of the buses and ferries to time your tour.
Spittal Pond Nature Reserve
Spittal Pond Nature Reserve is one of Bermuda’s most spectacular open spaces. This 64-acre reserve is part of a necklace of wetlands along the South Shore.
Spittal Pond provides a diversity of habitats and an amazing variety of birds, especially during the migration seasons. It is Bermuda’s largest bird sanctuary and also a home to many native plants.
Spittal Pond has unique features such as Spanish Rock, the oldest evidence of humans on the island, and the checkerboard, a geological formation of marine limestone with a distinct pattern of cracks. Budget some 1 hour 30 minutes. Visit Spittal pond Nature Reserve to know our experience.
After Spittal pond, the next place is the Paget Marsh in Paget parish.
Continue on bus #1 to the hospital, cross the road, and transfer to the #7 or #8 for Paget marsh. It's much quicker than going into Hamilton and out again.
You will find a pond here as well. The pond and the marsh are home to an array of wildlife, including many species of resident and migratory birds. You will probably spend some 45 minutes here. Visit Bermuda Paget Marsh Tour to find out all the details.
From Paget Marsh, you can head back towards Hamilton City and visit the BUEI (Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute). You can take bus #2, 7 or 8. The institute is dedicated towards exploring the mysteries of the ocean. There is also a nice restaurant inside the BUEI where you can have your lunch. Check out BUEI to find out all the details.
While the half day itinerary of Bermuda nature and ocean history ends here, if you want, you can begin another half day itinerary by doing the Hamilton City Tour. And if you are returning to St George, you can take bus #10 or 11 and drop by the island's oldest pub Swizzle Inn on your way back.
