spannersmom Posted May 31, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2015 We are planning on purchasing the transportation passes. Need help figuring out how to get to the museum. DH recovering from brain surgery and can't walk very far. Thought of taking the ferry to front street, than catching a bus up to the bus terminal. Or would we be better off taking the bus from the dockyard? Coming back from the museum-will the bus drop us off on Front St. to catch the Ferry?

Calrissian13 Posted May 31, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2015 The Maritime Museum is actually in Dockyard, so you won't have to use a bus or a ferry. Even with recovery from surgery, your husband should be ok with the walk, it's not far from where you dock.

njhorseman Posted May 31, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Perhaps do you mean the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute (BUEI), which is on the outskirts of Hamilton? As the previous poster said, the Maritime Museum (By the way, the official name of this museum is now the National Museum of Bermuda) is in the Dockyard and within easy walking distance of the cruise ship piers. If you are asking about BUEI, since your husband has difficulty walking for any distance I would recommend taking a taxi from the ferry terminal in Hamilton.

spannersmom Posted May 31, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Yes, I meant the BUEI. Any idea how much a round trip taxi fare would be? If all else fails, may just take the Ferry and walk on Front St. for a bit. Have to see how he feels-just so thankful he is doing as well as he is.

njhorseman Posted May 31, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's probably close to a mile from the ferry terminal. Figure about $9 for a taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spannersmom Posted May 31, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Thank you for the advice. Think that is the way we will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted May 31, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Thank you for the advice. Think that is the way we will go. Just to be clear the approximate taxi fare I gave is one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spannersmom Posted May 31, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted May 31, 2015 OK thought it was one way. But worth it to save DH walking. Thanks again from a fellow NJ'er. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCAT48 Posted June 2, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 2, 2015 FYI you cannot get a bus to the bus terminal On the Main Street in Hamilton.. We made that mistake waited forever until some kind person told us we had to walk up to the bus terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCAT48 Posted June 2, 2015 #10 Share Posted June 2, 2015 You would be better off just taking the bus from dockyard then there would be no walking for your DH. I think you'd have to transfer at the terminal but all the buses line up. They drop you off right across the street from the museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
