Private Island Highlights Tour: Bermuda in a Day

A fully private, chauffeured island tour with a licensed local expert, weaving together Bermuda's pastel villages, rum distillery, historic Hamilton, Gibb's Hill Lighthouse, and the South Shore — the definitive bucket-list overview of the entire island.

What to expect

Your guide meets you dockside and whisks you away in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. The route typically covers the Bermuda Rum Distillery for a private tasting, the colourful streets and harbour of Hamilton, the panoramic summit of Gibb's Hill Lighthouse, and at least one secluded South Shore beach the coach tours never reach. Lunch is arranged at a restaurant personally chosen by your guide — think lionfish ceviche and Dark 'n' Stormy cocktails at a waterside terrace. Every stop is thoughtfully timed to have you back at the Dockyard well before all-aboard.
