Bermuda Cruising : Day 5 - Thursday : Exploring Bermuda

Today was all about exploring Bermuda by land. After a filling breakfast, we all got ready and set out on a private taxi tour to discover more about the island—its history, culture, and hidden gems. Our guide, Louis, was born and raised in Bermuda, and his family has lived here for three generations. His knowledge and stories brought the island to life.

Next, we visited a historic lighthouse, and Shri and I decided to climb all the way to the top. It was worth every step—the 360° view of the green landscape and shimmering blue beaches was simply stunning. From up there, Bermuda looked like a postcard.




As we drove through different towns, Louis shared interesting facts and stories about Bermuda’s past. He explained that Hamilton is the capital (which we had visited the previous evening), but today we explored St. George’s, a charming and historic town. We wandered through the streets, admired the town hall, browsed cute local gift shops, and discovered a quaint lemonade stand. The lady there was making fresh lemonade with unique flavors like ginger and mango—perfect for the 80°F weather!



Shri had read about the Unfinished Church, a famous and beautiful spot in Bermuda, and wanted to visit. Louis took us there, and it did not disappoint. The skeletal structure of the church, surrounded by greenery, made for some gorgeous photos.





One of the great vista points!


As we drove back, we passed by St. Catherine’s Fort and some tiny beaches that looked straight out of a travel magazine. One small beach near St. George’s was so stunning I just wanted to stay there forever.








We made it back to the cruise ship around 3 PM, grabbed some food, and recharged a bit. Then came one of the highlights of the day—the rope course at the top of the ship. From up there, the view of the port and endless ocean was unreal. One section of the course juts out over the water, and it genuinely felt like there was nothing but ocean beneath us—it was thrilling and a little scary! Shri and I braved it first, and later Jay and Ram joined us for a second round. It was a total adrenaline rush and super fun!


After that adventure, we freshened up and headed to a live theater show onboard to end the night.




Explored one of the restaurants and enjoyed yummy food!




It was a full, fantastic day—exploring the land, enjoying adventure, learning history, and soaking in the beauty of Bermuda.
