Our two teenagers loved the water activities, especially paddle boarding, jumping off the boat, and being able to swim right to the beach. My husband and I relaxed inside the boat drinking rum swizzles and sharing stories with the crew. We were super impressed that they brought the drinks right into the ocean for swimmers and our daughter got to enjoy the privilege of driving the boat. 10 out of 10 would absolutely do again.

• 640donnaj 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Incredible catamaran tour in Bermuda! If you’re visiting Bermuda, you should book a catamaran tour with Restless Native. We book catamaran tours at almost every island we visit and love the laid back atmosphere of the experience. This is one of the best experiences ever! What we loved about this tour: 1) They didn’t not overfill the boat and we had plenty of room to relax on the boat and in the water 2) The crew was fantastic- Huey, our first mate was very engaging and knowledgeable as well as funny. Cameron our bartender (and cookie chef) was super attentive and even accommodated my allergies and made me rum swizzles without pineapple. The Capitán, while not as outspoken as the others, was helpful while we were docked and super friendly. 3) We anchored in a picturesque cove and there was plenty of room and time to just relax in the water, kayak, stand-up paddle board, float with noodles, or snorkel. It was not rushed and we had a fabulous time. 4) The never-ending rum swizzles!! 5) the cookies- don’t miss out on the cookies! 6) the boat was great and the equipment was clean and high end as well. There are many tour groups to pick from but as we watched others come and go from port and talked with others who had booked with Restless Native many times we are certain we made the right decision and will book with them again!

THE BEST TIME TO VISIT BERMUDA

Discover what's the best months to visit bermuda, 1. chase the sunshine.

Bermuda has a subtropical climate that makes it a sought-after destination for travelers all year long, but the most popular seasons to visit are in spring and summer, from April to October. The island comes to life during this time, with visitors from around the globe, colorful events, blooming flowers and endless activities. The island also grows warmer and can be intensely sunny, especially during the summer months when the temperature averages 85℉, so don't forget that sunscreen if you want to stretch out on the famed pink sand.

Water activities like snorkeling, scuba diving and swimming are very pleasant this time of year, when the water is warmest, and many sunseekers flock to Tobacco Bay, the Crystal Caves and Jobson's Cove.

If you visit during this stretch, you'll find fun events for the whole family, including the Bermuda Carnival in June and the Gombey Festival in September. Just remember that while these months offer the warmest weather and sunniest days along with a lively atmosphere, they're also the most popular, so you'll want to book tours in advance.

2. Weigh the allure of a slower pace

Explore exhibitions at the Bermuda Arts Centre in Hamilton.

If you're seeking a more relaxed and tranquil experience, the best time to visit Bermuda is during the shoulder seasons of late fall and early spring, when the island experiences fewer crowds, milder temperatures and a slower pace of life.

During the fall, Bermuda transitions from the busy summer season to a more mellow ambiance. The weather remains pleasant, though, with temperatures ranging from 65℉ to 75℉. This is the perfect time to visit if you're a nature lover who wants to explore the island's flora, history and culture. Stop by Southlands Park, Somers Garden or the Bermuda Historical Society Museum without having to worry about the heat or bustle of peak tourist months.

The spring shoulder season also offers a peaceful retreat, with vibrant flowers and refreshing breezes. You can immerse yourself in the island's natural beauty at the botanical gardens, embark on a scenic hike on the Railway Trail and take advantage of lower prices everywhere you go.

3. Consider exploring during cooler months

If you prefer even cooler temperatures, then the best time to visit Bermuda is during the winter season, from mid-December to March. These months are considered off-peak for tourism, but there are still a lot of benefits for travelers, such as milder weather and lower humidity. Adults traveling without children will also find fewer little ones onboard.

During winter in Bermuda, the island turns into a refreshing paradise without being too chilly. This is the best time for surfing; you can rent a surfboard and head to Horseshoe Bay for a lesson — or just watch the locals catch some waves.

Winter in Bermuda is also perfect for exploring the island's cultural and historical attractions, like the Royal Naval Dockyard and the National Museum of Bermuda. You'll enjoy lower rates and fewer crowds at many popular sites. Just remember that some businesses and attractions have shorter operating hours this time of year, so you'll want to plan your activities accordingly.

4. Look for the cheapest time to visit

If you're a budget-conscious traveler, you might already know that the most affordable time to visit Bermuda is during the off-peak winter months — from mid-December to March. For a full experience that doubles as the cheapest Bermuda vacation possible, good options are between mid-January and mid-March. This cooler period — when the average temperature hovers around 70℉ — offers lower prices; cruises, tour companies, restaurants and museums may offer discounted rates, making this the best time to visit Bermuda on a budget.

Many golfers prefer to visit Bermuda between January and March because there are no crowds. Renowned clubs include Port Royal, Turtle Hill and Mid Ocean Club, where you can take your pick from available tee times.

Also, if you live on the East Coast, you'll find affordable cruises from New York City to Bermuda

5. Know your priorities

While Bermuda is a captivating destination year-round, some months may be less ideal for you depending on your goals. For those in search of hot temps and water sports, summer is the best time to visit Bermuda. For golfers and those who burn easily, the off-peak winter season may be better.

Another consideration is hurricane season, which extends officially from June to November. This time of year brings increased potential for storms and heavy rain in the region. Storms can also make the waters of the Atlantic choppier as you power toward the island from the East Coast — which is fun for those who enjoy the feeling of pitching and rolling, but may require some people to pack motion-sickness medication.

However, Bermuda's memorable cuisine is available all year. Regardless of when you come, you'll find fresh seafood dishes like fish chowder and codfish cakes, British options such as fish and chips and signature local drinks such as the Dark and Stormy and the Rum Swizzle, both of which use local rum as a key ingredient. Our advice? No matter when you come, plan to order a couple of these cocktails for a memorable toast to a fabulous vacation.
