3 day Bermuda Itinerary - Is this reasonable?

[lweber40]

Hi.  We will be in Bermuda for 3 days in August on a Carnival cruise and are trying to come up with a game plan.  Never having been there before, we are seeking advice on our plans.  Would really appreciate some input.  Thanks in Advance.

 

Tuesday - get off ship at 10.  Take Ferry to St. George Island.  Walk around the downtown area, see St. Peters Church, visit Unfinished Church, have lunch at Wahoo's, spend the afternoon at Tobacco Bay Beach. We've seen enough forts so was not planning to do any forts unless there is one that is highly recommended.  Any other places we should see here?  We will return to the ship for dinner then take a Nighttime Bermuda Triangle History Shipwreck Glass Bottom Boat excursion.

 

Wednesday - We are planning on getting off ship early, taking a ferry to Hamilton City, get on a bus to see Crystal and Fantasy Caves, enjoy a Rum Swizzle at the Swizzle Inn, walk to the Blue Hole Park.  Then head back to Hamilton City to shop.  Plan to eat dinner at Pickled Onion on Front Street, hoping to catch the Harbor Nights Festival from the upstairs balcony and then walk around and shop (and eat) at the Festival.  Take ferry back to the ship

 

Thursday - Our back on board time is 4pm so we were planning to take the bus to Horseshoe Bay for a little while, maybe walk to Gibbs Lighthouse?, bus back and drop off at Glass Beach.  If time permits, we would visit the Commissioners House and National Museum before returning to ship.

 

Does this itinerary sound reasonable and doable?  Are there other things that we should consider seeing? Any advice would be welcomed and appreciated.  TIA

 

Lynn

Your Tuesday and Wednesday game plan looks good. On Thursday for Horseshoe Bay you should take the $7 per person minibus to Horseshoe not the public bus. Gibbs lighthouse is not walkable from Horseshoe. The South Road there has no sidewalks or shoulders. If you want to do Gibbs you can take the public bus from Horseshoe to Gibbs or a taxi and then a bus to Glass Beach. Or maybe skip Gibbs and Glass beach and head back to the Dockyard on a minibus for shopping, National Museum for safety of being close to the ship. Some have experienced public buses passing them by because they were full on the last day and everyone wanting to get back to their ship at the same time.
