3 Days in Bermuda: The Best Excursions & We Did it Ourselves
If you're sailing to Bermuda but don't know what to do, then this is the video for you. We experience three great days exploring beaches, historic towns and forts on this beautiful island. If you've never been to Bermuda before or even if you have experienced this wonderful island, we bet you will learn something you did not know before.
We board a one-week cruise with our friends Amber and Shawn and we sail from Manhattan, New York to Bermuda aboard the Norwegian Joy. We leave the ship with very little idea of what we are going to do each day. We still manage to have three extraordinary days seeing some of the best sites on Bermuda.
Our first day is spent lounging on the sand in Tobacco Bay where we wade and swim among the beautiful rock formations. Then we walk around the historic city of St. George enjoying the many sites there. On day 2, we take a taxi to Horseshoe Bay, one of the most famous pink sand beaches in the world. We see beautiful rocky beach coves, and spot wildlife including the Bermuda Longtail bird. In the evening we board a catamaran and take a sunset cruise where we experience the Bermudan tradition of drinking Rum Swizzles at the waterfront. On our last day we venture out into the Navy Dockyard where there are numerous activities available for all the cruisers as well as restaurants and bars. We explore the massive Keep and the National Museum of Bermuda seeing numerous military artifacts and defensive structures.

    • @HalfFastCruisers

    I love Bermuda... there is so much to do and public transportation is excellent and a good way to see the island... ferry from Dock Yard to St George... take a bus from there... stop by the Swizzle Inn..perhaps walk from there down to the caves... then buss to Hamilton... from there you can take a ferry back or take a bus.. either along the South Shore Road or Harbor Road.... Beautiful views for the price of a bus or ferry fair.

    Why does the cruise ship discourages scooter rentals?

    • @HalfFastCruisers
      @HalfFastCruisers 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The cruise lines do not want to associate themselves with these vendors or be seen as encouraging their customers to rent scooters ashore for liability reasons. While we are mostly comfortable driving abroad, many cruisers may not be comfortable with local traffic laws and regulations and may be more prone to accidents.

      Sorry to reply to you so late. We didn't really go all the way down south. We will say that Sorrento is pretty centrally located with a lot to do around you like Ercolano, Pompeii, Capri, and the Amalfi Coast. We truly enjoyed Gaeta, although much of that was due to the holiday decorations. Taormina in Sicily is definitely on our list for a return trip. Hope this helps.

    • @HalfFastCruisers
      @HalfFastCruisers หลายเดือนก่อน

      This warning is not limited to Bermuda. The cruise companies generally give that disclaimer everywhere they stop. They have safety concerns for a number of reasons, and I'm sure they have liability concerns as well. We will say that driving a scooter in an unfamiliar place with questionable traffic laws and customs can be very challenging. Please be careful.

      @HalfFastCruisers 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes it was! It was the Villa Durrueli Resort & Spa. Pretty reasonably priced with a great complimentary breakfast. Walking distance to the area around the castle. Need to drive to the Porto though.

      It was nice to meet you folks as well. It was a short cruise, but we packed a ton of enjoyment into those few days didn't we? We hope to go back when the water is a tad warmer. I guess it's our Floridian blood. Happy Sailing!

    Thank you for the video! I will visit in May and wanna ask that is the cave (canyon section) very dark it is quite difficult to take photo/video by phone ? Thanks

    • @HalfFastCruisers
      @HalfFastCruisers 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, it is pretty dark, and very damp. Also, they frown on photos and video because they need to keep the tour moving, and don't want people stopping every few feet to get the perfect pics. If you are going to try to take photos or video please do not use lights or flash as a courtesy to others on the tour. We suggest you concentrate on the absolute beauty and majesty of an incredible and unique place on Earth. We hope you enjoy your trip.
