Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Bermuda

"Small but beautifully formed, these two caves are one of the island's biggest attractions, and justifiably so. Entertaining 45-minute tours lead you down steep steps; you get the benefit of a state-of-the-art lighting system that subtly illuminates the delicate straw stalactites and frozen stone waterfalls. Crystal Cave is the more striking of the two, with a pontoon walkway over shimmering waters that reveal more beautiful rock formations, as well as half a dozen cell phones that escaped slippery hands."

"Two things you have to do in Bermuda - visit the Swizzle Inn and the Crystal Caves - are conveniently located right beside each other. Enjoy walking around Hamilton and grab breakfast or brunch in the morning, then for lunch take a taxi to the original Swizzle Inn to enjoy the national drink of Bermuda, the Rum Swizzle!. You won't regret it!"

"As far back as 1623, Captain John Smith (of Pocahontas fame) commented on these "vary strange, darke, and cumbersome" caverns. Nevertheless…"

"Using your transportation pass (there are no car rentals in Bermuda), make your way to the Royal Naval Dockyard via the island’s convenient buses or ferries. Groups with swimming-age children will love a kayak eco adventure or stand-up paddleboarding around the eastern tip of the island. Professional outfitters, including Fantasea and K.S. Watersports, offer tours and rentals (allow 3-4 hours for a tour)."

"Pick up your new ride from right beside the hotel and take the scenic route alllllll the way around the island to the home of the 2017 America's Cup, the Royal Navy Dockyards!. Explore for awhile, watch the sailboats and grab lunch. After lunch, wind your way back to Horseshoe Bay where you can spend the rest of your afternoon exploring hidden beaches along Horseshoe Bay!"

"HMD Bermuda was the principal base of the Royal Navy in the Western Atlantic between American independence and the Cold War."

"Then climb to the top of the 117-foot-tall Gibbs Hill Lighthouse for a spectacular parting shot and say farewell to Bermuda – until next time! Places Mentioned in this Itinerary"

"Tom Moore's Jungle, part of the nature reserve that comprises coastal mangroves, native palmetto and cedar woods, caves and swimming grottos, is found behind Tom Moore's Tavern. A path leads to a cave with a deep natural swimming pool inside – a great place to cool down. From here, a woodland trail leads to Blue Hole Park, a former dolphin show lagoon framed by mangroves; most days, you'll find people jumping off the 12ft to 15ft cliffs there."

"Begin by visiting St. Peter's Church, stop for a bite to eat and a rum swizzle at one of Bermuda's oldest restaurants, White Horse Pub and Restaurant, in the town square. Continue to wind your way up the hill to the unfinished church. From there, follow the road to the other side of the island where you'll find some smaller, more secluded beaches as well as Fort St. Catherine, a 17th century designated world heritage site."

"Because parts of this whitewashed stone church date back to 1620, it holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating…"

"Checked into our hotel, The Fourways Inn. We went to the local market to buy cheese and cocktails. We had planned on spending the rest of the afternoon by the pool, but it rained. That was fine since we enjoyed rosé and cheese near the terrace."

"The hands-on exhibits at this educational and entertaining place initiate visitors into the mysteries of the deep. The tacky-but-fun diving capsule simulator takes you down to 12,000ft depths and there's a fascinating display of diving apparatus through the ages (including a 17th-century diving bell), not to mention treasure from Bermuda's many shipwrecks in the Tucker gallery, dedicated to Bermuda's most prolific diver. You can also run a virtual yacht race, learn about Bermuda's shark-protection program. There's an excellent restaurant next door."
