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.

It's a beautiful thing that you found another couple who likes cruising as much as you. And that you can coordinate your travel schedules to go together on subsequent cruises.

[@halffasttravelers2702]

We consider ourselves very lucky indeed. The coordination is a little easier since Dan retired. We have more options now. Thanks for your comment.

[@Tom-pw2ni]

great tips on visiting this beautiful place! thank you!

[@HalfFastCruisers]

You are very welcome. We have a great time making these, and it's nice when the information is useful to our viewers. Thanks for the post.

[@paulaworkman2578]

enjoyed watching we are scheduled for 3 days in Bermuda on the Carnival Venezia in Sept

[@HalfFastCruisers]

Thanks for your support. We hope you have as good a time in Bermuda as we did. Happy Cruising!

[@darrenchichester9777]

Great video! Thanks for visiting us here in Bermuda. When were you here? Did you know that the cannons pretty much had a limited shelf life before they had to be retired. Years ago, before the Museum was established in Dockyard and Fort St. Catherine, back in the day they would just push them over the fort walls and then replace them with new ones,. Most likely everything you see were previously down in the water! Crazy, huh?

[@HalfFastCruisers]

So cool! Thanks for sharing that information. We were there in May, and we had a fantastic time. We hope to return someday soon.

[@lizarichards2243]

OMG! We just missed you! Since we met at GSC earlier this year, you guys are following us! LOL. We were on Joy to Bermuda at the end of May.

[@halffasttravelers2702]

Wow, what a small world. But it sounds like you are following us. What a great cruise.

Hi. Nice tour. We have been in Bermuda twice (With NCL) and want to go again. On your video at 46:31-46:38 you can see the 3-mast tall ship. That "The Spirit of Bermuda". It's a replica of the very famous schooner. Visit it next time.

[@HalfFastCruisers]

Thanks for the info. We love exploring these old ships, but didn't know they gave tours of that one. It is on the list for our next trip. Happy travels.

[@nicolewiltsey7793]

Hi everyone, may I ask why Amber & Shawn have only been ashore once in Bermuda out of 6x? Was it by choice, cruise length or weather problems? We are going on a 7 day NCL cruise in the end of October for our 30th wedding anniversary & are starting to book some things already so I was just very curious. Thanks for the wonderful video by the way🩵

[@HalfFastCruisers]

@@nicolewiltsey7793 what a coincidence,we are visiting with them right now. They missed several opportunities to go ashore due to weather. They also had to deal with a last minute excursion cancellation without notice on Royal Caribbean which they are still unhappy about. We think these issues are the exception and not the rule so plan away and hope for the best. We hope you enjoy your cruise, wish you an early Happy Anniversary.

@@HalfFastCruisers First off, thanks so much for getting back to me🙂. Second, I truly love that you guys became friends & that you’re w them right now☺️. Third, we only cruise Norwegian (family favorite) which unfortunately my hubby got seasick back in 2016 to the Caribbean & vowed never to cruise again🫤. Brought my son (graduation present) in 2018 to Bermuda & it was just soooo beautiful and felt soooo SAFE that I knew I had to go back w hubby. He only agreed to cruise cuz it was 3 overnights in Bermuda & so much cheaper than a flight w hotel and OF COURSE - our 30th anniversary😃. Thanks for letting me know it was due to weather, hopefully it wasn’t around the end of October when our cruise is😉, hehehe. Also, thanks for the well wishes & please keep up the wonderful videos honey, love them!! 😍💛🥰

[@HalfFastCruisers]

We are happy to help with this, and we hope you have a memorable and awesome cruise experience. Happy Sailing!

[@ShaneVeltri]

What month did you go here? Seems weather can be a problem. Thanks

[@HalfFastCruisers]

We went the first week in May. The seas were calm, but we had a couple of rainy days when we were there.

[@heatherjohnson2367]

Are those vans that you took chartered or could anyone get on it to go to the beach for a small fee? I'm going to Bermuda in September on msc

[@HalfFastCruisers]

The vans were lined up when we got off the ship, and they operated like taxis. No prior reservation required. Just keep in mind that you might have to wait for them to fill before they leave. Have fun on your trip.

[@heatherjohnson2367]

@@HalfFastCruisers how much were they per person, do you recall

[@HalfFastCruisers]

We don't remember the exact cost. Each trip was less than $10 per person. (Possibly $5 each in St. George and $7 each to Horseshoe Bay)

[@heatherjohnson2367]

@@HalfFastCruisers that's pretty reasonable. Thank you
