Shore excursion advice

[daltonsmom1]

First time cruise to Bermuda. We have 3 boys, 17, 12 and 5. Anyone have advice on what shore excursion would be best? Also stopping at Great Stirup Cay for the day.

(Unfortunately, all private islands are lumped together, so you'll need to search further.)  we've never done one, but the ropes course looks fun for boys/girls who are fearless.  There are some games to play, there are a Taco stand and a Food Truck, in addition to the food pavilion.  Snorkeling is decent, when conditions are right.  Easy beach day, with some natural shade from palm trees available.

For Bermuda you do not have to book excursions from the ship

It is so easy to get around

Check out Bermuda under ports of call

Tripadvisor, Bermuda Forum

Both will give you ideas of things to do on your own

Take the free ferry to St. Georges swim at Tobacco Bay. Check out shops in St. Georges. Go to Horse shoe Bay. Crystal caves good idea. There is swimming with dolphins at Dockyard where ship will be docked. There is a beach there, miniature golf and trampoline area indoors.

Hopefully your going when the water is warm enough to swim! 😊

In Bermuda if we’re going there for 3 consecutive days we walk off the ship to snorkel park beach for small fee you can enjoy a decent beach and snorkeling 🤿 from shore. Second day we take ferry ⛴ right off ship to other side of Bermuda 🇧🇲 and walk over hill to Tobacco bay beach 🏖 for excellent snorkeling 🤿 from shore, you can visit the Bermuda perfume factory on walking from ferry to tobacco bay. Last day van right off ship 🚢 to horse shoe bay beach.   Many years ago we bought our own snorkeling gear and we used it still going on 30 plus cruise and years. Tripadvisor and snorkeling from shore google search will help you save money. Ship excursions are very expensive and for a family outrageous. Save your money for more cruises
