Uncover Bermuda’s Hidden Adventures

Look beyond the island’s famous pink-sand beaches to find adventures ranging from cliff jumping to kitesurfing to shipwreck diving. When you venture off the beaten path, you’ll discover a world of unique hidden gems like no place else.

Make A Splash with Cliff Jumping

Head to Bermuda’s North Shore on the outskirts of the City of Hamilton and find the dramatic limestone cliffs of Admiralty House Park overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Not much remains of the structure that once served as a home for British Royal Navy admirals, but the towering rock face makes the perfect spot for cliff jumping. 

If you’re seeking thrills, the 20-foot plunge into the ocean will get your adrenaline pumping. The park’s cliffside has been carved into arch-like formations thanks to wind and water erosion over the centuries. You can actually swim through an underwater cave before coming back up to the surface. Just remember to embark on your adventure during high tide for maximum safety and wear swimming shoes for added comfort. See more about cliff diving and jumping in Bermuda.

Plant Coral in Underwater Gardens

Pair fun travel adventures with conservation-minded action as you participate in coral reef planting, an eco-friendly activity that helps restore coral reefs. The most northern coral reef system calls Bermuda home. Dedicated to the conservation of the island’s invaluable coral reef system, Living Reefs Foundation works to restore damaged reefs using innovative techniques. 

Kayak in shallow waters during a Living Reefs tour or workshop, where you’ll place coral fragments in shallow ocean gardens. Or, explore the island’s underwater landscapes while snorkelling around Rosewood Bermuda’s first coral gardens. You’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the beauty of the undersea ecosystem while contributing to its health and longevity.

Kitesurf & Catch Air 

Whether you’re a seasoned pro when it comes to extreme sports or a beginner looking for a new water sports adventure, Bermuda is a paradise for on-the-water action. Kitesurfing is one of the island’s most thrilling water experiences. Glide over the waves as wind currents carry you over clear, pristine ocean waters, and admire the endless seascapes. 

Kitesurfing may just become your new favourite activity, but you need to learn the ropes first. Learn the sport’s proper techniques with a private lesson from Island Winds. Then get ready to catch some air at Elbow Beach while taking in the beauty of Bermuda. 

See Natural Treasures on a Shipwreck Dive

Explore the fascinating underwater worlds of Bermuda with shipwreck diving. The island has more shipwrecks per square mile than anywhere else in the world, with more than 300 sunken ships from the early 1600s to late 1900s. Each is a treasure trove of history and an unconventional home to a variety of colourful marine life like tropical fish, rays, corals, and more.

Bermuda’s shipwreck history dates back to 1609, when settlers from the Sea Venture, a Virginia Company ship, wrecked on Bermuda’s reefs. In the centuries since, hundreds more ships met similar fates. Uncover the stories of Bermuda’s past and discover the present ecosystems thriving in the rusting remains and coral-encrusted wrecks.

Go Snorkelling in Crystal-Clear Waters 

Discover some of the clearest waters in the Atlantic while snorkelling along Bermuda’s coastline. See everything from coral reefs to native fish and other marine life. In the summer, experience up to 80 feet of visibility and water temperatures averaging 28 degrees Celsius (about 82 degrees Fahrenheit) in peak season. 

Your snorkel session might even feel easier due to the extra buoyancy created by the high salt density of local ocean water. Experience a memorable underwater adventure as you float without a care, soaking in every drop of underwater beauty.
