Cheap flights to Bermuda

Prior to establishing official status as a North American country, Spanish and Portuguese ships used the islands of Bermuda as a replenishment spot for fresh meat and water. However, legends of spirits and devils, and a continual pattern of storms and devastating island conditions, kept sailors from settling in Bermuda. The island was dubbed the “Isle of Devils,” and it wasn’t until the mid-1600s that travellers finally settled here.

Today, travellers booking flights to Bermuda explore an underwater world full of sea wrecks and coral reefs. Swim with a school of fish and explore undersea caves in what some consider to be the best scuba diving in North America. For visitors not quite ready for an underground expedition, there is much to see near the top of the water so grab some snorkelling gear and start swimming. Once back on land, take advantage of Bermuda’s historic attractions including the Royal Navy Dockyard and Museum, the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute, the Botanical Gardens, numerous lighthouses and the Crystal Caves. Whatever your reason for booking flights to Bermuda, take time to explore its beauty.

Getting around Bermuda

Bermuda is a small island and public transport is limited. There are no hire cars or trains, so bus, ferry, taxi or moped are the only options.

Ferries are certainly the most enjoyable and relaxing way to get around. Enjoy the views, enjoy life on the ocean wave, and, often, get to your destination quicker than you would by bus.

The bus network is good, though the buses aren’t speedy. The cheapest way to use them is to get a bus pass, which you can buy in Hamilton or St George.

Though cars are not available to hire for foreigners, mopeds are. This is a popular way of getting around for many tourists, but do take care on the roads, which have sharp turns and are not always well covered.

In Hamilton and St George you can also take a horse-drawn carriage to your destination.

There is a Beach House with snacks and drinks and you can rent snorkelling equipment. The beach is staffed by lifeguards from May to October. The beach can become very crowded; head for the cove on the western side for a bit more tranquility.
• Bermuda used to have a railway, though none is working today. For 17 years (1931-48) there was a train line that ran between Sandy’s Parish to St George’s Parish.
