Great Bird Island is a 20-acre islet off the northeast coast of Antigua, a haven for wildlife and pristine beaches. It's a key nesting site for the endangered Antiguan racer snake and various seabirds, including the brown pelican and red-billed tropicbird. Access is typically by boat, making it less accessible for those with mobility issues. Guided tours are highly recommended to fully appreciate the island's ecological significance and ensure minimal disturbance to the wildlife; solo visits are possible but require careful planning and adherence to conservation guidelines. Seasonal restrictions may apply during nesting seasons. A boat tour typically costs around $75-$150 USD per person, and a visit usually lasts between 3 to 5 hours, including travel time. Bring sun protection, water, and be prepared for a rustic, natural environment.
