Boatswain Bird Island, located off the coast of Ascension Island, is a significant seabird breeding site. Access is extremely limited and typically requires special permission due to its ecological sensitivity. It's not generally accessible for independent visits; guided tours, if available, are essential to minimize disturbance to the birdlife. Seasonal restrictions may apply during peak breeding seasons. Due to the remoteness and protected status, costs are high and dependent on permits and transportation. A typical visit, if permitted, would likely be a short boat trip with viewing opportunities. Accessibility is challenging, and it's not suitable for those with mobility issues.
