Whats to do in Bermuda besides snorkeling, golfing and sightseeing on mopeds?..be specific, thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have been to Bermuda twice by cruise ship. Bermuda has some of the best beaches anywhere; pink sand beaches that you can find a deserted spot on. The best thing about Bermuda is the beaches. There are only a few hotels on the beaches there, but all of the public beaches are great. There is not a lot to do in Bermuda other than water sports and golf. There are two main towns Hamilton, the largest (where most cruise ships dock for at least a day) and St George which is small and has just a few shops (ships usually dock there for a day.) The third place you may dock while there is The Kings Dockyard.. The Dockyard is on the far end of the 22 mile long island and has some shops and a museum. There is a cavern on the island that we went to once, kinda nice. We also visited the lighthouse, for lack of anything else to do.

Royal Caribbean, NCL and Holland America have cruise from many cities on the each coast. When you cruise there, you stay on the ship and eat on the ship. A 5, 6, or 7 day cruise to Bermuda is plenty enough time to see and enjoy it.

In the town of Hamilton we took a walking tour which took us to an old church, a nice garden and a maritime museum. There is shopping in Hamilton and restaurants, but not much else. You will probably want to eat on ship as meal are expensive since everything has to be imported.

The best way to get around in Bermuda is to buy a transportation pass (may be able to get it on ship) which will let you take the busses, and the ferry, all over the island. There is a big bus depot just a couple blocks from where ships dock in the town of Hamilton. You can take the busses to the beach, they are not very far away and easy to get to from the bus stop. You want to go to Elbow Beach and Long Beach, both open to the public. If you want to snorkel, the Tobacco Bay Beach near the town of St George is great, and its walking distance (about 3/4 mile)( from town.

If you go to Bermuda you will finish your sightseeing in one day and the rest of the time will be beach time or shopping.
