Bermuda Tours & Excursions

You are possibly planning a short vacation in the island, and want to ensure that you are dead right in choosing the best possible tours in Bermuda.

Well, there are a few questions to be answered before you know that you have actually chosen the best tours in the island.

Would you like to walk and explore? Or prefer a bus, taxi or a boat tour? Or may be do a bit of everything and experience the best of all that the island can offer.

Some more points to ponder... Do you prefer the off-beat tracks, or the places with deep heritage and history? Or like to enjoy the lovely beaches, landscapes and see some of the most popular tourist attractions in Bermuda?

Depending on what you love and how you can best spend your precious time in the island, you will need to carefully choose your tours. We have been coming to Bermuda since ages, and tried to get the flavor of the island in every possible way. The tours that I have suggested below, are the ones we have ourselves undertaken, and some of them many times.

While some are guided tours and have fees, many of them are self-guided free Bermuda tours and excursions that we have designed after years of exploration. I have categorized them under different heads, like walking, by boat, by taxi or bus, and some by mixed modes. Check out the links to see the details of the tours.

If you consider per person cost for such tours along with time flexibility, it can be a great option of going around the island. Check out Bermuda Taxi Tours for complete information.
