Not new to Bermuda, looking for new ideas...

[RedSox5]

Hi-

 

As you can see from my signature, I'm no veteran to visiting Bermuda! It's my favorite place on the planet and we can't wait to return there at the end of April :D

 

My question is, I've been so many times that I've done many of the tourist attractions (most, more than once)- Crystal Caves, zoo/aquarium, perfume factory, glass-blowing factory, Fort St. Catherine, St. George tour, horse and carriage ride, many of the beaches, snorkeling, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse... and probably more things that I'm not remembering right now. Just wondering if there is anything else a little more 'off the beaten path' that we might be interested in doing? An awesome bar to check out? An 'excursion' that is offered by someone/a company on the island and not the cruise line (we'd love to go out on a boat, maybe), etc.

 

Hope that makes sense. We know we'll have a blast no matter what we do in Bermuda, just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas to share. Thanks in advance! ;)

Hi, if you are renting scooters or even bikes, try riding the railway trail. It is truly delightful, so peaceful and serene. Plus you get to see some lovely homes, glimpses of the sea and just a different perspective of this beautiful island.

I read this review a few weeks back and this particular group did a walking tour that seemed like it would be very interesting and something new :) http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1568029&page=6

We thought Hartley's Helmet Dive was the highlight of our trip! Definitely not to be missed if you want to do something out of the ordinary that you probably won't be able to do in many other places.

Sarahc78, went to that link that you mentioned, but it didn't talk about a walking tour :confused::rolleyes:

 

My hubby did the "private" helmet tour last April and said it was the best excursion experience he has ever had:D

 

thanks
