Hello

How would we get to St George from the dockyard? 1st time in Bermuda & want to make sure to spend a little time there.

 

Day one

Elbow beach day - take bus # 7 spend the day at the beach, back to the ship for dinner (bus #7) & out for and evening in Hamilton for Harbor Nights

 

Day two

Horseshoe Bay beach - take shuttles to & from, dinner at the ship, back out to St Georges or hang around dockyard area

 

Day 3

Horseshoe Bay beach - rent scooters & explore or back to HB beach

It looks like you're considering going to St. George's after dinner on Day Two...but that's essentially impossible...or at the very least impractical. St. George's is at the opposite end of Bermuda from the Royal Naval Dockyard. The best way to get there (other than a $75 or higher taxi ride) is via the Orange Route ferry, which takes about 45 minutes. But that ferry only makes a limited number of daytime runs. It doesn't run at the time of day you want to go. A combination of Blue Route ferry to Hamilton and then bus to St. George's will take at least 90 minutes. It doesn't make much sense to go there in the evening anyway, unless you're planning to eat dinner at a local restaurant. Nothing else is going to be open.

 

The bottom line is that if you want to get to St. George's...and I certainly recommend it...you have to make it a morning/early afternoon journey.

Thank you so much for the advice! I'm going to rethink the plan & take this into account. Maybe do it on day 3. Thanks again for the the heads up!

This was last month, and sort of shows how you can get around the 3 towns and to some of the beaches. I used the 2 day ferry/bus ticket ($31.50) All the best, Tony
