Bermuda's sights are spread along one narrow island, from the Dockyard in the west to St. George's in the east. Most are free, and three charge at the door. Here is what each one is, what it costs, how long you need and which Bermuda excursions stop there.

The fee and hour lines come from each sight's own page. A tour's fare may or may not cover the entry, so check the entry line on your card before you go. The paid entries are set out side by side in the visitor guide.
The South Shore is a line of beaches known for pink sand, and Horseshoe Bay is the one the drives stop at most often. Warwick Long Bay and Elbow Beach lie along the same shore.
A short stop is a look, not a swim. If you want time in the water, pick a day that stays two hours. The beaches are ranked on the best beaches in Bermuda.
A cast-iron tower in Southampton, built in 1844 and lit in 1846. It stands 117 feet tall on a 245-foot hill, and 185 steps in eight flights take you to the top.
Two caves on one site at 8 Crystal Cave Road, Hamilton Parish. Two boys found them in 1907, and the underground lake is 55 feet deep.
Crystal Caves are in Hamilton Parish, a drive east of the city, not in Hamilton itself. Every cave tour pays your Crystal Cave entry. Fantasy Cave is the second cave, and the Titan cave tour does not include it. The cave days are compared on Bermuda Crystal Caves tours.
Founded in 1612 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. St. Peter's Church and the Unfinished Church are a short walk apart, and the drives stop in King's Square.
The Unfinished Church was begun in 1874, roofed in 1897 and then abandoned. A tornado took the roof in 1925. Today it is an open ruin that you can photograph from the lawn.
The former Royal Navy base at the west end, and the cruise berth. The museum fills the Commissioner's House and the Keep.
The National Museum of Bermuda is a short walk from the ships. It is the one sight you can visit before or after a pier tour, because you start and end there.
The city on Hamilton Harbour, with its shops along Front Street and the ferry terminal at Albouy's Point.
Bermuda's reefs are the northernmost coral reefs of the Atlantic. The Montana, a paddle steamer wrecked in 1863, lies in 30 feet of water beside the Constellation.
You cannot swim out to the reef line from a beach. In rough offshore seas the shipwreck snorkel moves to an inshore wreck and a shoreline reef instead. The boats are compared on Bermuda snorkeling tours.
Tom Moore's Jungle is woodland, karst and caves in Hamilton Parish, cared for by the Bermuda National Trust. Cooper's Island Nature Reserve lies at the east end, by Clearwater Beach.
The jungle lies inside the Walsingham Nature Reserve. The jungle day gives you a helmet and head lamp for its caves and pools, and takes children from 5. At the far east end, Tobacco Bay is the beach the St. George's cave day stops at for two hours.
An evening on the water from the Dockyard, with rum swizzles on board.
On a ship day you can reach the island's two ends or spend the day on the water, but not both. An island drive gives you the lighthouse, a beach, Hamilton and St. George's in five hours. A cave day swaps the drive for Crystal Caves and a long beach stop. A boat gives you the reefs.
See the drives, the cave days and the boats side by side, with what each fare covers.
Every age limit is set by the tour itself and printed on its card. The family questions are answered in the FAQs.
