Reijo Posted July 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I have an upcoming Bermuda cruise and looking at tours. Most land tours are 5+ hours and I'm not too interested in that length. Anyone has any information about tours? Can you get a water taxi from the cruise port to Hamilton? We will be there half of two days and one full day.

Also some local stops. https://www.bermuda4u.com/transport/ferry-service/ https://www.bermuda-attractions.com/bermuda_000073.htm Edited July 26, 2022 by Another_Critic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drb116 Posted July 26, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 26, 2022 There are also a lot of fun activities in King's Wharf for those half days. Fun Golf is one of our favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are there on a Wednesday, you might consider a ferry to Hamilton that night to enjoy the Wednesday night street party. The ferry ride over to Hamilton is beautiful. We had a fun dinner at a second floor restaurant overlooking all the festivities. enjoy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamara01 Posted July 27, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2022 How far is it to walk from the ship to the ferry? if someone has mobility issues, would they have a problem? Also, are there taxi's when you get off the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some mini busses a bit closer, but i don't know all the routes. We took one to Horseshoe beach. I also don't know if there is a shuttle that can take you to the ferry.

Everyone said that but we didn't seem to have that experience. We were right at the Hamiliton street party main intersection at Flanagan's, a second-floor Irish pub. We had a great view of the festivities. Our drinks, (a rum swizzle and a beer ) were about the same price as on the ship. Burger and a large bowl of chowder were about $25. Food was delicious. Next day at the beach, prices were comparable with other beach bar/restaurants. I think I paid $10 for a dark and stormy. Perhaps we got lucky with our restaurant choices. We heard about $30 burgers from friends on board, but thankfully didn't experience that. M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a free tram that goes around the Dockyard but the first stop near the ship berths is not much closer to the ships than the ferry dock.

The ferries are great but the Orange Line to St. George does not run every day. The public bus system has unfortunately been in decline the past few years and is somewhat unreliable. You can waste a lot of time waiting on buses. I prefer a combination of the ferries and taxis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do a taxi tour that is less than hours. They run $50 and hour for 1-4 with a three hour minimium. I would say 4 or 5 hours would be the right length. It would be a private tour and you can tell the driver what you prefer to see and what time length. Edited July 27, 2022 by Charles4515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
