Eco-Fusion: Land & Sea Combo Tour

OVERVIEW

Cruise around Harrington Sound on a 30-foot catamaran and learn about the unique ecology of this large body of water that at first glance appears to be a land-locked lake. As you will discover, an almost imperceptible channel connects the sound with the ocean so the water is briny and tidal. The biodiversity is remarkable, as is its natural beauty. As you cruise around the sound – which was named after a 17th-century English countess that ironically never set foot in Bermuda – you will pass sea caves, dramatic cliffs and secluded inlets. You will hear about their formation, stories about the early settlers that lived along the coast and the marine life that inhabits these sheltered waters. You will get a close-up view of the creatures that live below the water’s surface in the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo, where you may observe sharks, neon-colored parrotfish and moray eels.
