Setting Sail on a Bermuda Adventure
As someone who has spent countless hours riding the waves and exploring the hidden gems of the Caribbean, I was eager to dive into the Bermudaful Island Tour. The promise of exploring nine parishes with local guides was too tempting to resist. Arriving at the cruise pier, I was greeted by the sight of men in pink shorts, a quirky yet charming introduction to the island’s vibrant culture. Boarding the bus was a breeze, and I was ready to embark on a journey through Bermuda’s rich history and stunning landscapes.
Our guide, Jonathan, was a revelation. His enthusiasm for Bermuda was infectious, and his storytelling abilities were nothing short of mesmerizing. As we cruised through the charming Somerset Village, Jonathan painted a vivid picture of everyday life in Bermuda, seamlessly blending historical anecdotes with personal insights.

Discovering Bermuda’s Hidden Treasures
The tour continued to unfold like a captivating story, with each stop offering a new chapter in Bermuda’s rich tapestry.

Jonathan’s knowledge of the island’s geography and landmarks was impressive, and his ability to answer every question with ease made the experience all the more enriching.
One of the highlights was our visit to John Smith’s Bay Beach, where the iconic pink sand beaches of Bermuda stretched out before us. As a former professional surfer, I couldn’t resist the allure of the ocean, and I found myself drawn to the water, feeling the familiar pull of the waves. Jonathan’s passion for Bermuda’s natural beauty was evident, and his stories of the island’s unique marine life added an extra layer of wonder to the experience.
A Journey Through Time in St. George
