Offshore Adventures in Bermuda
Be sure to test the waters this month and get your feet wet. There’s a safe and exciting offshore adventure available to every type of traveller. Here are our suggestions for…
Thrill Seekers
KS Watersports is known to have some of the best rentals and adventure tours on the island. You can parasail over the waves or hop on a jet ski to ride them yourself! The company gleans multiple TripAdvisor awards for its awesome experiences and the possiblities are endless, whether you wish to brace the blue alone or join a group. We recommend a ride on the super-fast WildCat, a 50 ft high-speed catamaran that has become one of Bermuda’s most popular sightseeing adventures for all ages. (Bookings & info at kswatersports.com)
Families
Shelly Bay beach in Hamilton Parish is the perfect picnic spot for families. With long stretches of shallow water and the adjacent park area (did we mention playground too?) you can spend a whole day here, soaking up the sun and sea. Animal lovers ought to visit Bermuda’s own Dolphin Quest in the Royal Naval Dockyard. There you can simply watch these magnificent creatures or book an encounter to go for a swim with them! (There are age restrictions on some of the encounters, call 441-234-4464 or visit dolphinquest.bm to learn more.)
Explorers
A unique and reliable way to travel around Bermuda is on the Sea Express ferry system. With a convenient network of embarking and debarking points – Hamilton, Dockyard, Somerset, Rockaway, Southampton, Warwick, Paget and St. George’s – passengers can enjoy the islands’ beauty from the water as they travel from one part to another. (There are also a number of private boat charters you can book, for an exclusive and customizable experience. )
