Treat yourself to a bucket list worthy Bermudian meal of five courses served over four hours at this stunning resort right on the water’s edge. You’ll taste your way through some of the island’s best ingredients while learning about local botanicals, spices and indigenous fare.
Balance your chakras with morning yoga in a crystalline cave at Grotto Bay. The yogi teaching style is a combo of Pranayama and Hatha Yoga, so you’ll feel relaxed and recharged following this epic session in a bucket list worthy setting.
You’ll feel (really) good about sleeping in at this resort. Elbow Beach is offering a special nightly rate in addition to daily breakfast for guests. Opt for a full American breakfast in their restaurant or in-room during your seaside stay when you book the Bed & Breakfast Package. Once you're fueled up for the day, hit the pool or the beach just a short walk away.
Leave it to this Bermuda touring company to offer a cruise around the island with a rumologist from May-November. Kick back, relax and taste your way through the best local rums and finish off the tastings with a slice of rich, heavenly rum cake.
What better way to see Bermuda than by scooter or electric bike? Whiz through the streets, cruise along the coast and explore nearly the entire island without breaking a sweat. Available for groups of all sizes, just imagine your helmet clad crew zipping across the island now.
March and April in Bermuda bring thousands of humpback whales to the island who are traveling north to Canada, Iceland and Greeneland for the season. There are several whale watching tours during this time that allow you to get close, but not too close, to the gentle giants. At 50 feet long, we think you'll be able to see them just fine.
Hop aboard a coastal cruiser boat with a team of local environmental experts and get a tour of Harrington Sound’s islands, inlets, landmarks, caves and cliffs. With this squad, you’ll get a real feel for the land, the water and the people of this beautiful place.
Whether you’re planning a proposal, celebrating a wedding anniversary or toasting to another great year around the sun, a candlelit dinner for two on the shores of Turtle Cove Beach is undeniably bucket list worthy for any food connoisseur. Let a private butler take care of you and your person, serving hors d’oeuvres, bubbly and five courses of delicious food.
We’re adding this one to our bucket list immediately. Explore the depths of the Bermuda islands and see shipwrecks firsthand via a two tank dive into the local coral reef system. There are 350 known wreck sites in the area!
