The Hamilton Shopping and Sightseeing excursion was fantastic! I really enjoyed the mix of exploring and shopping. It was the perfect balance of sights and local gems. Captain Jason and crew Sam were awesome, making the experience even more enjoyable. I enjoyed a bit of a history lesson couple with a bit of humor as well. Highly recommend this excursion when you arrive to the beautiful Bermuda!

It was a great little excursion for the day to get off the ship. It’s right there you way of the ship and hop on the ferry. It took us across to Hamilton narrating all the important parts of Bermuda and its history. The crew was friendly and exceptionally kind because we were late and they turned around to pick us back up, which was much appreciated. After we got into Hamilton, we did the walking tour which was narrated by one of the crew members , which I would highly recommend it only took about a half hour. She was very knowledgeable. Then they cut loose. We walked around the shops. A little pricey, then got some iced coffees hung out and enjoyed the area. Then back on the ferry with a complementary rum punch or soft drinks. Then back to the ship’s docking area great day🫶
Enjoyable! Time Well Spent.

The Captain and Crew (Liz) were personable, fun, informative, knowledgeable and entertaining. We sailed on their newest craft. The walking tour was short (just the right time for me). Included a couple of nice locations. It ended in part of town with access to shopping and dining options. Highly recommended half day tour.

Purchased a day pass for the bus. Purchased it at the visitors center in Clinton Wharf Cruise port in Bermuda. Went all the way to St. George, Hamilton, and the downtown area. Felt safe and easy to travel. So convenient and got to explore and see things one wouldn't normally see with an excursion. Glad I went on my own and had a fun time seeing some of the local attractions, interactions with locals, and local shops. Highly Recommended
Awesome Afternoon in Hamilton

There has to be a cheaper way than going from dockside to Hamilton. I’m not sure what they mean about sightseeing but they pointed out one house on the way there. We were in Hamilton for 2 1/2 hours and then we went back. They did offer the drink at the end. But to say this sightseeing is just not true. It is an over priced ferry to shopping.

My husband and I were there July 26,2023. We were thrilled with the knowledge of Brandy, our tour guide and crew. We've visited Bermuda before. We learned newer things and the walking 🚶‍♀️ tour was great. I love visiting churches ⛪️ 😍. Plus I fulfilled all my shopping 🛍.
A great three hour tour…

Technically you can take the ferry from the Dockyard to Hamilton to shop. What you won’t get is the nice people running this excursion and their knowledge of Bermuda. The ferry also doesn’t provide a Rum Swizzle to end your three hour tour. The boat is roomy with threes levels for spreading out and being comfortable and they dock next to the cruise ship. The convenience alone was worth the cost.

We did the Hamilton Shopping & Sightseeing Cruise on our Carnival Legend cruise to Bermuda. This was on May 25, 2022. It was a lovely excursion and taking the small boat to get from the port to Hamilton was truly the best way to travel. The staff on the boat answered all our questions and provided a nice overview and tour of the area. After we docked in Hamilton, they also offered a short walking tour through the main areas of Hamilton, which was perfect. We all then went around and did our thing for about an hour and then met back at the flagpole - which was an easy way to get back to the ship. All in all would highly recommend. The rum swizzles at the end were delicious - and they gave me change back in Bermuda dollars - which I loved!
