Bermuda excursions

What excursions in Bermuda would you recommend as a must do? We're in our early 30s and want to treat my sister and BIL to something special as they never get to travel. Thanks!

If they like the water, I would definitely do a snorkeling excursion....We did one a couple of years ago where we snorkeled, they had paddle boats and at the end we wound up jumping off the top of the boat. Lots of fun plus it was right off a beach so those who did not want to snorkel could just hang around.

 

Tours of Bermuda are nice, also you should do the Bermuda Nights which is a street fair on Wednesday night, you just take the ferry to Hamilton. Check on the dates however as I know there are some changes due to the fact the America;s Cup Yacht race is in Bermuda this year.

Thank you. We will be getting into port on a Wednesday so hopefully we'll be able to do that! Do you feel it's worth the money to do a snorkeling excursion over attempting it yourself with your own gear?

Church Bay Beach is a place where you can snorkel on your own. It is a local favorite. Tobacco Bay is also decent. You can take public transportation(bus) or taxi. Get prices at the building where you get off the ship that sells bus and ferry passes or at the building near the ferries. There are also other places to buy tickets around the Island.

Don't try to snorkel at Snorkel Park(near the ship). It is a man made beach and doesn't attract as many fish as the natural beaches.

We like to take the ferry to St. George. If you are there around the time they do the "Dunking" re-enactment (noon I think). It's fun to watch. If you get up front, the men in your group might be asked to help dunk the town gossip.

 

Also there is a fort, museum, dolphin swim etc. right near the ship so you don't have to go far if you don't want to or if you have limited time left in the day..

Hamilton Nights starts around the second Wednesday in May.

 

For something unique - try Hartley Helmet Diving. The Royal Dockyard is interesting and a bus ride out to the Caves with a stop off at the Swizzle Inn is fun
