Bermuda is a narrow, hooked island. The Dockyard and your ship sit at the west tip, Hamilton in the middle and St. George's at the east end. Here is where every meeting point is, where the sights fall along the island, and where the Bermuda shore excursions start.
Bermuda runs from the Royal Naval Dockyard, on Ireland Island in the west, to St. George's in the east, across nine parishes. The Great Sound is the sheltered water inside the west end. The South Shore faces the open ocean, and its beaches are the ones the drives stop at.
The City of Hamilton sits in the middle, on Hamilton Harbour. Hamilton Parish, where the caves are, is a separate place to the east of it. The airport is at the east end, in St. George's Parish.
| Meeting point | Where it is | Who starts there |
|---|---|---|
| The middle of the cruise pier | Between King's Wharf and Heritage Wharf | The pink buses, the Titan shirts, the cave days' TOUR sign, the Tucker's Transport sign |
| The black-and-white star | The water's edge, mid-pier, by the ticket booth | The Restless Native catamarans |
| The Dockyard Watersports Centre | The small blue Island Tour Centre, 4 North Arm Drive | The snorkel and glass-bottom boats, the Rising Son, the jungle day, the Segway |
| The Rainbow Runner | The dock face beside Heritage Wharf, 2 North Arm | The helmet dive |
| 4 Camber Road | The Dockyard | The private boats, for cruise passengers |
| The south end of King's Wharf | The Dockyard | The private catamaran |
| Admiralty House Park | Spanish Point Road, Pembroke | The private charters, for hotel guests |
| The Hamilton ferry terminal | 8 Front Street, Hamilton | The private catamaran |
| 49 Front Street | Hamilton | The food walk |

You meet most tours without leaving the pier. Look for the sign on your card, and do not pass the security gates to search for a bus. The Watersports Centre is a short walk along North Arm Drive.
King's Wharf and Heritage Wharf are the two ship berths, and the middle of the pier sits between them. The black-and-white star is at the water's edge there, by the ferry and bus ticket booth. The Rainbow Runner, the helmet-dive boat, ties up at the dock face beside Heritage Wharf, by Calico Jack's floating bar.
The Dockyard Watersports Centre is the small blue building on North Arm Drive. The private boats collect cruise passengers at 4 Camber Road; look for the tan bimini. The private catamaran boards at the southernmost end of King's Wharf.
| Place | Where on the island | What it is to you |
|---|---|---|
| The Royal Naval Dockyard | Ireland Island, the west tip | Your ship and most meeting points |
| Somerset Bridge and Scaur Hill Fort | Sandys, just east of the Dockyard | The first stops on the island drives |
| Gibbs Hill Lighthouse | Southampton | The climb, US$2.50 |
| The South Shore beaches | The south coast | Horseshoe Bay and its neighbours |
| Hamilton | The middle, on Hamilton Harbour | Front Street and the ferry terminal |
| Crystal Caves | Hamilton Parish | The cave site, 8 Crystal Cave Road |
| Tom Moore's Jungle | Hamilton Parish | Woodland and cave pools |
| St. George's | The east end | The 1612 town |
| Cooper's Island and Clearwater Beach | The far east end | The quiet end of the beach hop |
| The airport | St. George's Parish | 2 Kindley Field Road |
The island drives follow this line from the Dockyard. They cross Somerset Bridge, climb to the lighthouse, stop on the South Shore, and reach Hamilton and St. George's before turning back. What each place costs is on things to do in Bermuda.
The private boats work from two bases. Cruise passengers board at 4 Camber Road in the Dockyard. Hotel guests can board at Admiralty House Park on Spanish Point Road, in Pembroke Parish.
The cliff-jumping charter spends an hour at each of three places: Admiralty House Park, with its cliffs and caves, then Daniel's Head Park and Mangrove Bay. The private catamaran cruises the Great Sound and the coves of West Bermuda. You choose your boarding point when you book, so pick the one nearest your ship or your hotel.
Each has a visitor centre: the Dockyard's at 2 Dockyard Terrace, Hamilton's at the ferry terminal and St. George's at 25 York Street.
The Blue ferry links the Dockyard with Hamilton in 15 to 20 minutes. The Orange runs from the Dockyard to St. George's along the North Shore in 45 minutes, from May to October. The Green and Pink routes leave Hamilton for Sandys, Southampton, Paget and Warwick. Fares and passes are set out on how to get to Bermuda.
