Kayak through the serene waters while spotting marine life during a guided eco-tour with Island Tour Centre or KS Watersports. Then, explore Bermuda’s pristine landscapes on a Hidden Gems of Bermuda Ltd. tour, leading you through jungle trails and mysterious caves. 

Explore the Island’s Rich Heritage

The exhibits reveal shipwreck treasures and explore Bermuda’s deep connection to shipping, sailing, and boatmaking. Join the Dockyard Historical Walking Tour, where guides and re-enactors in period dress bring the history of breakwaters, fortifications, workshops, and storehouses to life.
