Stop at the Gibb’s Hill Light House, a 117-foot tall lighthouse built in 1846 of cast iron, the oldest of its kind in the world, and one of only two cast-iron lighthouses still in existence. Overlooking the South Shore and Little Sound, the lighthouse offers views of both the city of Hamilton and the Royal Naval Dockyard.

Next, make your way to Hamilton for an approximately 30-minute stop in the Capital of Bermuda. Take the time while here to visit a few local shops, pick up a souvenir and soak up some of the charms of this beautiful capital city.

Continue to the historic town of St. George, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will be provided approximately 45-minutes here for self-exploration where you can shop, grab a bite to eat or watch Bermuda’s history come to life as the St. George’s Town Crier conducts an 18th century trial. This entertaining and light-hearted historical re-enactment will show how an offender was publicly punished, including the dunking of a nagging wench.

Climb back aboard your transportation and make your way to the South Shore and her beautiful beaches. Stop at one of the designated beaches for magnificent and inspiring photo opportunities as well as the chance to walk on the pinkish sand beach and feel the warm surf run through your toes.

Discover Hamilton, the capital city of Bermuda and a British island territory in the North Atlantic. The beautiful Front Street, close to the harbor, features pastel-colored colonial buildings and up-scale shopping. To the northeast is the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo, home to sharks and turtles. Also home to a lighthouse, Gibb’s Hill, this lighthouse is distinct in the honor it is only one of two cast-iron lighthouses still in existence.

Your first stop will be at the Gibb’s Hill Light House, a 117-foot tall lighthouse built in 1846 of cast iron, the oldest of its kind in the world. Explore the gift shop located at the base of the lighthouse and do a little shopping for a souvenir or two. This stop overlooks the South Shore and Little Sound, offering views of both the City of Hamilton and the Royal Naval Dockyard.

Make your way next to the City of Hamilton, the capital of Bermuda, and be provided approximately 40-minutes of free time to shop, explore, taste the local flavors and refresh with a beverage.

Leaving Hamilton, you will travel primarily along the scenic coastline as your guide shares very interesting history about Bermuda.

Stop for an opportunity to take photos of Horseshoe Bay Beach and Jobson’s Cove, then get a chance to walk on one of the pinkish sand beaches at Warwick Long Bay. Dig your toes into the warm surf running over your feet or, if you choose, take some awe-inspiring photos to remember your day.

See the Best of Bermuda on this Bermuda Island Tour that takes it all in.

Departing from Bermuda’s Royal Navy Base at Ireland Island ( Kings Wharf), you will have a brief orientation on the history, purpose and some of the buildings of the arsenal and fortress that date back to the 1700s. As you drive through the picturesque parish of Somerset on this King’s Wharf shore excursion, you’ll see the island firsthand. You’ll cross the smallest drawbridge over the Atlantic Ocean – the Somerset Bridge and its 18-inch opening. The bridge dates back to the 17th century and links Somerset with the main island of Bermuda.

Traveling to the south shore in the Parish of Southampton, you will make a short photo stop of the Gibbs Lighthouse. Built in the mid-1840s, this 117-foot-tall lighthouse offers pastel views over the south shore as well as the Great Sound (there will not be time to climb the lighthouse). Driving along the South Shore, look down on some of Bermuda’s famous pink sand beaches, including Horseshoe Bay and Warwick Long Bay.

Along the way, you’ll pass the botanical gardens. Originally opened in 1898, the Bermuda Botanical Gardens features 36 acres of trees, flowers and shrubs. The gardens are also home to the Camden, the official residence of Bermuda’s Premier, and the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art, where every piece has some link to Bermuda.

You will then drive through a portion of Tucker’s Town. This exclusive enclave for wealthy tourists includes a golf course and the Mid Ocean Club Hotel. Home owners over the years have included Abby Rockefeller and Childs Frick, as well as presidential candidate Ross Perot and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Unfortunately, due to high hedges and gates, few of the houses can be seen.

You will then drive to the UNESCO World Heritage site of St. George which, due to a shipwreck in 1609, became the first settlement on the island and was therefore a major part of Bermuda’s history. During a brief driving orientation, you will pass by St. Peter’s Church, which is believed to be the oldest continually used Anglican church in the Western Hemisphere (1612). You will then have a short time to wander the narrow streets on your own. On this Bermuda Island tour, you may also have the chance to catch part of the performance of the Town Crier’s dunking of the malicious gossip. Departing St. George, you will drive to Hamilton via the North Coast Road.

Hamilton is the capital of Bermuda and is located on the protected shores of Hamilton Harbor. Although not the oldest town on the island, it was made the capital in 1815. As you drive through the city you will see the Hamilton Cathedral (1897), the city hall, and views of the Italianate Government House (the Governor’s residence), that sits on nearby Langton Hill. Your Bermuda excursion ends at the Ferry Terminal in Hamilton.

From here you can explore the town at your leisure or catch the ferry to Dockyard (King’s Wharf). Ferries run almost every hour and the trip takes approximately 20 minutes. A ferry ticket is included in the tour price. As this tour ends in Hamilton, it is the guests’ responsibility to be back to their ship in Kings Wharf at the appointed “All Aboard” time.
