See areas such as Jumby Bay, Bird Island and the natural spectacle of Devil's Bridge up-close-and personal. Be at peace with the world as you gaze at slender coconut palms waving in the breeze and listen to rhythmic calypso and reggae music. Then, you'll be whisked away to Green Island to relax on the beach or explore the nearby reef. Back on board, the crew will cook a delicious lunch. Next, cruise across English Harbor, to Nelson's Dockyard, one of the most prestigious and renowned dockyards in the world.

Come aboard the 70-foot party style fishing boat 'Jolly Roger' and join your knowledgeable local Captain and crew, who will take you to some of the best fishing spots around Bermuda. Catch some sun on the upper deck and as you arrive at your destination, the boat drops anchor and you put out your lines to the bottom. You will be provided with light spinning tackle, bait and any instruction you may need to hook into some snappers, triggerfish, jacks or any other of the countless species that abound Bermuda’s waters. The Jolly Roger fishes in protected waters within the reef where it’s relatively calm – no ocean swell means less chance of sea sickness. Bring some enthusiasm and a little luck and your captain and crew will take care of the rest for a memorable and exciting trip! Note: Participants must weigh at least 85 pounds and be in good physical health. Participants must be at least 21 years of age to consume alcohol. A valid photo I.D. is required. Onboard is a cash bar with many of your favorite snacks, drinks, as well as souvenirs for purchase. Bermuda supports the catch and release program. less

Walk to the Snorkel Park, where your snorkel instructor will provide you with instruction on how to operate your Aqua Power Scooter and snorkel equipment. Skim near the surface faster than you can swim, or dive down to take a closer look. You'll have an opportunity to see sea fans, coral and an array of marine life. After your power snorkel experience you’ll have time to enjoy more snorkeling, or lounge with a complimentary beverage at the secluded calm water beach. Note: Participants must be at least 12 years of age and weigh no more than 240 lbs. This tour is not recommended for those with heart conditions or asthma. Snorkel gear (vest, snorkel, mask, fins) is provided. Wear your swimsuit and bring a towel. less

Board your luxury catamaran at the pier and set sail along the beautiful coastline of Antigua. View the many scenic white sandy beaches and boutique resorts. Visit picturesque Deep Bay Beach surrounded by calm turquoise waters for a swim or just relax in the sunshine. The crew will serve you refreshments on the beach, fruit juices and sodas of your choice. Then sail further along the west coast heading to Morris Bay for a second beach stop. Swim in the warm waters or relax under a coconut tree. Meanwhile the crew creates a delicious lobster lunch buffet served on board. Sip on a glass of champagne which will tempt you to relax a bit more. Following lunch, sail back along the coast while you enjoy an open bar and Caribbean music. This is where the expression comes from: "It really doesn't get any better than this." Note: Wear a swimsuit and bring a towel and adequate sun protection. Chicken or fish substitute available upon request. Please visit the Shore Excursion Desk once on board to make this request. Participants must be 21 years of age to drink. less

18 holes Length: Par: 70, 6,100 Yards Professional course designer Algie M. Pulley Jr. moved mountains to design the Belmont Hills course back in 2002. The veteran Californian architect found an existing layout that was largely featureless. But after the most extensive golf course rebuilding project Bermuda has ever seen, a new topography emerged. Today, every one of the 6,100 yards of intense bunkering, multi-tiered greens and slender fairways will thoroughly test your shot-making abilities. Pulley created a magnificent, contoured layout that maximizes the golfer’s experience while showcasing the Island’s captivating beauty. Panoramic views of Hamilton Harbour and the Great Sound provide the backdrop for some of the finest 18 holes on the Island. Belmont Hills’ greens are built to U.S.G.A. standards and sprigged, naturally enough, with Tiff Eagle Bermuda Grass. The fairways feature 419 Bermuda grass to provide the best possible playing surface. And although Bermuda has its fair share of sand, Belmont Hills' bunkers hold the same sand Master’s players try to avoid at Augusta National. Water hazards come in to play on several holes, which is unusual for a Bermudian course. (Bermuda doesn’t have any natural creeks or rivers and only a handful of freshwater ponds). Two large man-made ponds complement the dramatic rolling landscape. An automatic irrigation system keeps tees, fairways and greens; including Bermuda’s only double green (14,000 square feet), in peak condition. Hundreds of trees have been planted or relocated to define the fairways and to increase safety. Our course is waiting for you. Come and play. Note: Transportation is included. Golf tours are non-refundable. Tee times will be confirmed onboard based on availability. less
