Private transportation in Bermuda is available from taxis, scooter rentals, pedal cycles, the Bermuda Railways Train in Dockyard, Hamilton & St. George’s; as well as 19-foot whaler boat rentals for water exploration. A relic of Bermuda’s past is the fringe-topped horse-drawn carriage and there are a few still in service taking visitors on tours of Hamilton and surrounding neighborhoods. They are still a popular mode of transportation at weddings to and from the church. The island’s Governor still uses the horse to pull the official landau during civic ceremonies such as the Convening of Parliament and the Queen’s Birthday Parade.

Bermuda's ferries are an excellent way for the disabled person to travel with accessibility at most of the ferry stops, Hamilton Ferry Terminal, Royal Navy Dockyard and Rockaway. There are steps leading to some stops and persons in wheelchairs would need to get in & out of the wheel chair so it could be lifted over the railing at the St. George's ferry stop. Call the Hamilton Ferry Terminal to confirm accessibility for each ferry stop prior to travelling: 441 295 4506.
