Bermuda by Land & Sea Eco Cruise

OVERVIEW

Begin with a scenic drive along the South Shore, a coastline of pink sand beaches, colorful homes, and ocean views. Arrive in the historic village of Flatts, where a picturesque inlet opens to the sea, to board your cruise. Cruise around Harrington Sound on a 30-foot catamaran and learn about the unique ecology of this large body of water that at first glance appears to be a land-locked lake. As you will discover, an almost imperceptible channel connects the sound with the ocean so the water is briny and tidal. As you glide through the turquoise waters of Harrington Sound—a hotspot of marine and coastal life—you’ll pass limestone cliffs, hidden caves, and secluded inlets while your guide shares stories of Bermuda’s volcanic origins, coastal culture, and unique ecosystems. Look out for Bermuda’s iconic Longtail birds and vibrant sea life, and soak in the views of Trunk Island and the Sound’s remarkable underwater caves. Back on land, enjoy an exclusive behind the scenes visit to the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo (BAMZ) and hear from experts who care for more than 200 marine species, and visit the Turtle Rehabilitation Pool to learn how the conservation team nurses injured sea turtles back to health and hear the stories behind their rescues. Your journey continues with a scenic North Shore drive, showcasing the island’s striking coastline and view of Governor's House, before you arrive in Hamilton. After a brief stop in the City Centre, you’ll be led on a guided driving tour through the city’s waterfront, historic architecture, and vibrant streets before heading back to the ship.
