Bermuda
Haqqi Tours arranges day tours, private airport transfers, attraction tickets and multi-day packages across Bermuda, confirmed on WhatsApp before you pay.
Morning in Bermuda begins on the water. Pastel houses in pink, yellow and blue climb the green hills around Hamilton Harbour, their white stepped roofs gleaming in the sun, and ferries slip across the Great Sound towards the old naval Dockyard. Out on the reefs the sea turns every shade of turquoise, and from a glass-bottomed boat you look straight down onto coral heads, parrotfish and the ribs of old ships resting on the sandy floor.

The essence of Bermuda
Bermuda lies alone in the North Atlantic, a British Overseas Territory about two hours' flight from the east coast of North America. Its fishhook-shaped chain of islands holds a UNESCO-listed colonial town at St George's, pink sand beaches along the south shore, limestone caves and forts on every headland. Bermuda is special because a calm, polished island life, rich maritime history and clear reef waters fit into a place you can cross in an hour. We arrange the journey with boat trips, sightseeing and private airport transfers, delivered with calm, attentive service.
Why visit Bermuda?
Shipwrecks, Settlers and a Historic Town
Bermuda's story begins with the sea. In 1609 an English ship bound for Virginia was wrecked on its reefs, and the survivors' reports led to permanent settlement and the founding of St George's in 1612, now a UNESCO World Heritage town of narrow lanes, old churches and forts. Bermuda's parliament first met in 1620, making it one of the oldest in the Commonwealth. Hamilton became the capital in 1815, and the islands remain a British Overseas Territory.
Reefs, Pink Sand and Limestone Caves
Bermuda sits on the rim of an ancient volcano, now capped with limestone and ringed by the northernmost coral reefs in the Atlantic, which have claimed many ships over the centuries. The south shore beaches owe their pink colour to tiny red marine creatures mixed into the sand. Inland, underground lakes glitter inside limestone caves at Hamilton Parish, while nature reserves such as Spittal Pond shelter birds, and humpback whales pass offshore in spring.
Fish Chowder, Fish Sandwiches and Codfish Breakfast
Bermudian cooking is built on the sea. Fish chowder is the national dish, a rich, spiced soup of local fish and vegetables, and the fish sandwich, fried fish on raisin bread with coleslaw, is an island favourite. On Sundays families eat codfish and potatoes with bananas, avocado and tomato sauce, and cassava pie appears at Christmas. Wahoo, rockfish and spiny lobster in season come straight from the boats. Halal food is limited, so seafood and vegetarian choices are easiest; our team can advise.
Experiences You Can Only Have Here
Glide over coral reefs and shipwrecks in a glass-bottomed boat from Hamilton, walk the cobbled lanes of St George's, and take the ferry across the Great Sound to the Royal Naval Dockyard and the National Museum of Bermuda. Lie on the pink sand of Horseshoe Bay, step down into the crystal-clear underground lakes of the limestone caves, climb Gibbs Hill Lighthouse for a view over the whole island chain and follow the old Railway Trail along quiet coves.

When to visit Bermuda
Peak season · May–September
Summer brings Bermuda its warmest sea, long sunny days and the best conditions for boat trips over the reefs and swimming on the south shore beaches. Bermuda Day in late May opens the season with a parade, and the Cup Match cricket holiday in late July or early August is the busiest time on the islands. This is also hurricane season from June, so keep an eye on forecasts and reserve boat trips, tours and transfers well ahead.
Shoulder season · April, October–November
Spring and autumn bring warm, pleasant days, fewer visitors and comfortable conditions for walking St George's, the Dockyard and the Railway Trail. April offers a chance of spotting migrating humpback whales offshore, while October still has warm sea water for swimming. Storms remain possible in autumn, but many days are clear and calm, ideal for boat trips and sightseeing at an easy pace.
Low season · December–March
Bermuda's mild winter is cool rather than cold, with green landscapes, occasional strong winds and sea that is refreshing rather than warm for swimming. Hamilton and St George's are calm, and museums, forts, caves, gardens and golf courses make the most of the quieter months. Some boat trips run less often in rough weather, so flexible plans help, but it is a peaceful season for exploring the islands.
The regions of Bermuda and how to combine its cities
Bermuda is a chain of islands in the North Atlantic, linked by bridges and causeways into a slender fishhook shape. Hamilton, the capital, lies at the centre on a deep harbour in Pembroke Parish, with ferries crossing to Paget, Warwick and the west. In the east, St George's Island holds the UNESCO town of St George's and Fort St Catherine, and the airport sits on neighbouring St David's Island.
The south shore of Paget, Warwick and Southampton is lined with pink sand beaches and coves, including Elbow Beach, Warwick Long Bay and Horseshoe Bay, while Gibbs Hill Lighthouse stands above Southampton. At the western tip, the Royal Naval Dockyard in Sandys Parish holds the National Museum of Bermuda and a busy cruise port. Hamilton Parish in the north-east is known for its limestone caves, the aquarium at Flatts and quiet bays.
Our city directory below is anchored in Hamilton, the natural base for most visitors. From its waterfront we arrange glass-bottomed boat trips over the reefs and shipwrecks, alongside sightseeing across the islands, and our private drivers handle transfers from Bermuda airport (BDA). Bermuda pairs naturally with a visit to New York, Boston or Toronto, as most flights connect through North America.
Before you go: practical tips for Bermuda
Entry & visas
Visitors from many countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and European Union nations, can visit Bermuda without a visa for short stays with a passport valid for the length of their stay, a return or onward ticket and confirmed accommodation. Nationals of some other countries need a visa, though the rules can change if they hold certain valid visas for the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom. Most flights connect through North America or London, so check the current rules, including transit rules, before you travel.
Money, cards & tipping
The currency is the Bermudian dollar, pegged to the US dollar, and US dollars are accepted everywhere at par, though change is often given in Bermudian money, which is hard to exchange abroad. Credit and debit cards work in almost all hotels, shops, restaurants and taxis. Cash machines are found in Hamilton, St George's and Dockyard. Many restaurants add a service charge to the bill, and tipping guides, boat crews and drivers is customary for good service.
Etiquette & dress code
Bermudians are famously polite, and a warm good morning or good afternoon before any question is expected, even when boarding a bus or entering a shop. Dress is smart casual: swimwear belongs on beaches and boats only, and in Hamilton you will see local men in tailored Bermuda shorts with knee socks and a jacket. Keep voices low in churches, respect private property along the coast, and never touch, stand on or take coral and shells from the reefs.
Getting around
Visitors cannot rent conventional cars in Bermuda, so getting around is by taxi, ferry, bus, rented scooter or small two-seat electric car, all driving on the left at low speeds. Pink and blue bus stops show the direction of travel towards or away from Hamilton, and ferries link Hamilton with Paget, Warwick, Dockyard and St George's in season. For arrivals at Bermuda airport (BDA) and full days of sightseeing, our private transfers and drivers are the most comfortable choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask most about Bermuda.
Is it safe to visit Bermuda?
Bermuda is generally considered a safe and peaceful destination with a relaxed, polite atmosphere. As anywhere, take normal care with belongings, avoid quiet areas late at night and take extra care on narrow, winding roads, especially on scooters. Check your own government's official travel advice before departure, and keep our WhatsApp line handy for help with tours and transfers.
How many days do I need in Bermuda?
Four to five days work well for a first visit: one for Hamilton and a glass-bottomed boat trip, one for St George's, one for the Dockyard and the western parishes, and one or two for the south shore beaches, the caves and the lighthouse. A week allows an even slower pace with more beach and boat time.
Is Bermuda in the Caribbean?
No. Bermuda lies in the North Atlantic, far north of the Caribbean, roughly two hours' flight from New York and the US east coast. Its climate is subtropical rather than tropical, with a warm summer and a mild, cooler winter, and its culture blends British traditions with influences from Africa, the Caribbean and the Azores.
Can a trip to Bermuda be tailored for luxury or private travel?
Absolutely. Bermuda is known for elegant resorts, beachfront cottages and boutique hotels near Hamilton. We can tailor private boat trips, sightseeing with a private driver, chauffeured airport transfers and a relaxed family pace, then confirm every detail with you on WhatsApp before anything is paid.
What is the best time to visit Bermuda?
May to September is the best time for beaches and boat trips, with warm sea water and long sunny days, though June to November is hurricane season. April, October and November are pleasant and quieter, while December to March is mild and calm, better for sightseeing than swimming.
What is Bermuda famous for?
Bermuda is famous for its pink sand beaches, pastel houses with white stepped roofs, coral reefs and shipwrecks, the UNESCO town of St George's and the Royal Naval Dockyard. It is also known for Bermuda shorts worn as smart dress, its polished island courtesy, limestone caves and its long maritime history in the North Atlantic.
Is halal food available in Bermuda?
Halal options are limited in Bermuda, and dedicated halal restaurants are very few, though there is a small Muslim community. Fresh fish, seafood, vegetarian dishes and fruit are easy to find, and many kitchens cook to order. Pork appears in some dishes, so ask when ordering; our team can advise on suitable places.
How do I get to Hamilton from the airport?
Bermuda airport (BDA) lies on St David's Island in the east, about twenty-five to thirty minutes by road from Hamilton across the causeway and along the north shore. Taxis wait at arrivals, as visitors cannot rent cars. We arrange a private transfer with a driver waiting at arrivals to take you directly to your hotel.
Which cities in Bermuda does Haqqi Tours cover?
Hamilton. Each city has its own page with everything available there, and a trip across several cities is planned in one WhatsApp conversation.
What can I book in Bermuda?
Day tours - all run or confirmed by Haqqi Tours, each with a fixed price agreed on WhatsApp before you pay.
How do I book a tour or transfer in Bermuda?
Fill in the form on the page you are interested in, or message us on WhatsApp with the date, the number of travellers and your hotel. A member of our team confirms the price and the details in writing within minutes.
Are the prices fixed?
Yes. Every price is agreed in writing on WhatsApp before you travel and does not change on the day - not for traffic, not for a late flight, not for the hour.
Do you arrange transfers between cities in Bermuda?
Yes. Intercity transfers by private car or van are booked the same way as airport transfers; tell the desk the two hotels and the date and it quotes a fixed price for the whole vehicle.
Can you plan a full itinerary across Bermuda?
Yes - tell the desk your dates, the cities you want and who is travelling, and it proposes a day-by-day plan with the tours, transfers and tickets priced in writing. You adjust it in the same chat before confirming.
Are your tours private or in a group?
Both exist, and the page of each tour says which. Private tours have a car and guide for your party alone; small-group tours share a guide with a few other travellers. The desk can convert most group tours into a private day on request.
Do the drivers and guides speak Arabic?
It depends on the country, the city and the day, so we do not promise a particular language for the driver or guide. Tell us your preference and we do our best; the WhatsApp desk itself always works in Arabic and English.
