Get Active! There are plenty of exhilarating ways to get active on your Bermuda holiday. Golf is one of the most popular sports with locals and visitors on holidays to Bermuda. In just over 21 square miles, there are six very different and testing courses to experience. Practically every activity you could imagine is on offer somewhere here! Choose from scuba diving, snorkelling, kite surfing, biking, windsurfing, parasailing, yacht charters, canoe and kayak rentals, water skiing or a fabulous helmeted undersea walk. There are also excursions to enjoy deep sea or reef fishing, and you can go out on a glass bottomed boat to experience wrecks, reefs and the abundant marine life. There's a whole different world beneath the ocean and there are so many ways to enjoy it on holidays in Bermuda. (Most water- sports are not available in winter.) See the allure of Bermuda's beaches, from lively pink-sand shores with crystal-clear water to secluded rocky coves that feel like your own private island. Bermuda's miles of coastline are dotted with crescents of pink sand, dramatic rock formations and hidden coves.

Add a dash to your Bermuda stay! Surely the perfect shop and flop combination! These cities are around two hours from Bermuda and let’s face it, you’ve already crossed the Atlantic so why not drop in for two or three nights in one of these fabulous spots. New York – Broadway, Museum of Modern Art, the Empire State Building, Times Square and Central Park! Don’t forget Bloomingdales and Saks. Take an evening cruise around Manhattan. Visit Boston, enjoy the Boston Tea Party Ship and Museum, the Boston Symphony and the Bunker Hill Monument. Shopping is superb. This is a great city to enjoy on foot too, so no need for expensive taxis. Toronto is Canada’s largest city and Ontario’s capital. Visit the CN Tower and dare to walk the glass floor, stroll through the Eaton Centre, take a harbour cruise, ride a trolley bus to the World’s Biggest Bookstore. Visit Niagara Falls. There is so much to see and do and the shops are everywhere!
