Advice needed/Is this doable?

[TravelingMom]

My daughter and I will be in Bermuda during Cup Match which complicates things a bit as

we have no idea how difficult it will be to get around or how crowded the beaches and roads may be.

 

We are trying to cram as much as we can in on Wednesday before the holiday begins. For Thursday, I am having trouble deciding which beach is doable for snorkeling as it was one of my daughter's requests.

 

Here is what we have planned.

 

Wednesday: Private taxi tour (5 hours already booked) as soon as we can get off Summit.

When tour ends drop off at Crystal Caves.

After Caves get bus to Hamilton.

In Hamilton, have late lunch/ very early dinner.

Shop since this is the only day the stores are open.

Stay for Harbor Nights.

Return to ship.

 

Thursday 9:30 AM Helmet Diving (leaves from Dockyard)

 

1:00 PM Lunch and then my daughter wants to Snorkel.

She wanted to go to Tobacco Bay, but do we have time?

We can get over there on a 2:00 PM ferry but the last ferry is 5:30

and I am not sure if this will give us enough time at Tobacco Bay.

If not Tobacco, what other beach would

work for us? We do not want to go to Snorkel Park.

 

Friday I booked the Horseshoe beach shuttle through the ship even though it

was expensive because I felt it gave us some protection with Cup

Match being in Somerset.

 

Thanks!

You probably will want to have lunch after a five hour tour before doing the Caves. You could have the driver drop you off at the Swizzle Inn which is walking distance from the Caves. Then do the Caves. Or get a bite to eat and drink at the concession stand at the Caves. I don't think you can wait until Hamilton.

 

Thursday is doable, there would only be an hour and a half for snorkeling, which is actually plenty of time for snorkeling at Tobacco Bay. Helmet diving in the morning and then off to St. George's for snorkeling at Tobacco Bay in the afternoon seems like a lot to do to me. The question is do you have the energy. Your daughter no doubt does, but do you?
