DON’T MISSBermuda’s Outdoor Adventures

When it comes to experiencing the great outdoors, Bermuda is ideal for letting everyone take it at their own pace. Adrenaline seekers will love driving jet skis through stunning ocean waters that are full of more shades of blue, turquoise, and green than you might have thought possible. Others will feel perfectly content biking around historic St. George’s with a knowledgeable local small business owner leading the pack. Whatever your outdoor adventure style is, Bermuda suits it perfectly.

Explore the Town of St. George via Bike

If you want to take in the local flavor, do it like a local! Kristin White and her turquoise bike, Shosh, are ubiquitous in St. George’s. She’ll show you the ropes on this immersive three-hour tour packed with history (learn why the town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site), fresh local seafood, and independently owned shops in the quaint, architecturally stunning parish.

The Town of St. George and St. Peter’s Church

On her tour, Wendy discovered her love of exploring via two wheels. “Kristin’s bike tour made me believe that tours are mandatory every time I travel! Calling it a tour is an understatement. From seeing the Unfinished Church to listening to stories about witch hunts to smelling a perfume from a 150-year old shipwreck, Kristin’s tour was a complete sensory experience. It was so much fun! I loved learning about Bermuda’s history and all of the elements that make Bermuda special. I highly recommend Kristin’s bike tour to all those with curious minds and kind hearts.”

Race Jet Skis

With four locations (the Dockyards, Southampton, the Town of St. George, and the City of Hamilton), K.S. Watersports Tours has you covered. For adrenaline junkies, the 75-minute high-speed tour is for you. You’ll get to go full throttle with frequent breaks for swimming and sightseeing. Check out the remains of the HMS Vixen (deliberately sunk in 1896) peeking out of the sea and the charming Somerset Bridge, the smallest working drawbridge in the world.

Get Caught on Deep Sea Fishing

If you’re interested in catching the big three (wahoo, tuna, and gigantic blue marlin), it’s time for your group to head into deep water aboard Mattanza Sport Fishing’s 51-foot custom boat. It can hold up to eight people, and no matter what your skill level is, you’ll be in good hands: The captain is a local who’s been fishing professionally for 25 years. Additionally, you can add reef fishing to your True Bermuda chartered yacht experience.

Traverse Tom Moore’s Jungle

Named after the Irish poet who preferred to pen his verses in the wild, this 12- acre nature reserve is full of natural wonders you’ll all love to explore. If you think you’ve seen stunning shades of blue, green, and aquamarine before, cliff jumping into the Blue Hole swimming grotto will prove you wrong. For adventurous swimmers, jump into the Causeway Cave to swim among stalagmites in a darkened underground grotto.

Ascend the Gibbs’ Hill Lighthouse

Ready to get your steps in? Have the group climb the 185-step staircase and revel in some of the most jaw-dropping views on the island (which is really saying something) at the top of this 117-foot tower. The lighthouse is one of only two in the world to be made of cast iron, since in 1846 steel was still not flexible enough. Since you’ve undoubtedly worked up an appetite, grab a casual lunch at The Dining Room, located on street level.

Go Rock Climbing and Cliff Jumping

Bermuda boasts multiple rock-climbing and cliff-jumping locations that allow you to ascend before jumping feet-first into the refreshing waters. At Admiralty House Park, climb Clarence Cove and reward yourself with an exhilarating plunge.

Rent Out a Private Speakeasy

The only thing better than finding Yours Truly, a swanky downtown speakeasy in the City of Hamilton, is renting out the whole place for your group. Ideal for a bachelor or bachelorette party, the intimate space boasts bespoke cocktails that change on a regular basis. Or, you can tell the mixologist what your favorite flavor profiles are, and he’ll shake something up just for you (and all of your friends).

Drink and Dance on the Sand

Your group can’t visit Bermuda without getting the entire crew together for a fantastic Friday night out. After adventuring all day, clean yourself off and go to the Elbow Beach Bermuda Resort. There’s typically a DJ spinning or local musicians showing off their talent in the spring and summer, so grab a cocktail and enjoy the warm, breezy evening. Additionally, head to Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa for more al fresco dining options.
