I am going on a cruise to Bermuda, making stops in Hamilton, King's Warf, and St. Georges. We don't want to spend a gazillion dollars on excursions with our cruise line, so if anybody has suggestions on stuff we just "have" to do, please let me know!

We rented scooters. We went to the beach, We got a 6 pack of dark-n-stormy (national drink of bermuda) and hung out a the beach. Keep the scooter for the whole trip then you don't have to be aboard the ship when it moves. Scooters are for the fearless, you can get a rental car and taxi or even the public bus is quite ok. Lots of options for your budget.
Citizens of Bermuda are really nice and helpful. It a fun and safe island to explore.
You can also rent an ocean kayak for a 1/2 day and paddle in clear blue waters.
We took a group champagne/sunset cruise offered by the ship (royal carribean), we sailed on a catarman and had a lovely time. It wasn't a lot of money.
Have a wonderful time!

check out the link below to the bermuda travel guide on virtualtourist.com it has lots of unbiast reviews of great things to do in bermuda. My personal suggestion is renting bikes. It's relitively cheap and there is a great bike path that goes pretty much all over the island. It's an old rail road which is now a bike path. there's no cars on it except where it crosses the road. You may see bike excursions with your cruiseline, but don't be ripped off, do a little reasearch or ask a local and you will have a great time. Another thing, DO NOT rent scooters, they are popular and gas saving but on the windy overcrowded roads of bermuda, they are not at all save for tourists. just take the bus. my mom is a rehabilitation doctor and she sees so many cases like this it's rediculous. You can also see my reviews on virtual tourist by searching for peterd1331, my username. Leave a comment if you want, but have fun in bermuda!!

I cruised to Bermuda in July and it was my first time. Horseshoe Beach is a great beach to visit. You can have a taxi take you there for around $20. It's in Hamilton. Hamilton is where you can do most of your shopping. St. Georges does not have too many shops for you go to. As far as nightlife goes Hamilton has a club called Splash. Ask any of the locals and they'll direct you. We went there one night and it was a lot of fun. Somewhat small but there's a second level so it alleviates some of the crowding.
When you go to St. Georges I would suggest renting mopeds and cruising around during the day. Without fail you have to visit the Swizzle Inn while you're there. It's a landmark in Bermuda. The original one is in St. George and you can drive the moped there. It's this dive bar that has a wide selection of food but more importantly, they have 'Swizzle Rum'. Food and the drinks are a little expensive but worth the splurge. The rum comes out and you look at this small pitcher and you wonder where your money went. Then you realize they give you small glasses to drink out of and when you get up to leave you understand why their motto is 'swizzle inn, swagger out'. At night in St. Georges go to this bar called White Horse, it turns into a club at night (if you can call it a club) called Light. Definately nice right on the water.
If worse comes to worse try out Bermuda.com....hope this helps

I went on a cruise to Bermuda fairly some years in the past. I remember that there grew to become into lots to verify suitable interior strolling distance of the deliver. Then we took public buses everywhere in the island, getting off to verify different aspects. We did pass to a sea coast that grew to become into very mind-blowing, with very sturdy centers. i do no longer remember the call, whether it looked fairly huge-unfold, and that i'm particular people on the deliver would be responsive to. i'm particular that in spite of you do, you will desire a amazing time. chuffed birthday!

Bermuda is a very small island and there isn't a whole lot to do except water sports and shopping. Look ahead to see if there are special parades or ceremonies which are fun. You must see the aquarium and underground caves-very nice. Don't forget to rent a moped and sightsee. Have fun!
