Q: Are there wheelchair services available?

Wheelchair accessible ferries are available at the Hamilton Ferry Terminal, Dockyard, Rockaway and St. George's ferry stops only.

Take a break from the small and winding roads and travel Bermuda’s waterways on the public ferry system. The ferries are a reliable way to travel around the island via the water, not to mention that the fresh sea breeze feels good and the views are amazing. Enjoy the tranquillity of the slower ferry routes or get to where you want to go quickly on the fast ferries.

Travel Tips

A ferry is riding out of St. George's with calm blue waters.

Like the bus, the ferry fares are calculated by zones and cost between $3.50 and $5 per ride. The ferries accept exact change or tickets that can be purchased in advance at the Ferry Terminal in Hamilton, Visitor Service Centres in Dockyard and St George’s and some hotels. If you plan to catch the bus and the ferry for your whole trip, you can also buy a Transportation Pass for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 7 days (consecutive).

The ferries are built for accessibility and the following ferry stops have wheelchair access; Dockyard, St George’s, Hamilton, and Rockaway.

The Pink Route is a popular sightseeing route that travels within Hamilton Harbour along Harbour Road. The slow cruise takes place on an older-style ferry and is a peaceful way to travel from Paget and Warwick to Hamilton.

From Belmont Ferry you can access the Belmont Hills Golf Course, Divots Bar and Grill and Blu Bar and Grill. From Darrell’s Wharf, it is a short walk to the popular brunch spot Fourways Restaurant & Inn.
