Railway Trail Bike and Beach Tour in Bermuda
Hamilton, Bermuda
Combine sport with island history on this unique bike tour along the famous Bermuda Railway Trail, used by the Bermuda Railway in the 1930s and ‘40s. Get off the beaten bath, explore some of Bermuda's lesser-known gems and gain unparalleled views of the island. After your leisurely bike tour, relax on the beach and take a dip in the crystal-clear waters before returning to your hotel.
With a year-round average temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) and more than 22 miles (35 km) of bicycle-friendly roads, Bermuda truly is a biker's paradise. Approximately 70% of the biking roads are considered railway trails – the path of the old Bermuda Railway.
On this guided tour, ride along the Railway Trail for approximately 6 miles (9.5 km) to see a side of Bermuda most tourists miss. Your guide will stop to provide informative commentary at various points of interest along the way. The trail, which is relatively flat, offers spectacular views, stunning seascapes, lush gardens and exotic flora and fauna.
Time permitting, you may be able to hike up to either the historic Fort Scaur or the sprawling 17th-century Mott family estate. After your bike tour, cool off with a refreshing swim at the beach and enjoy a complimentary soft drink.
I was a little disappointed in this tour. we spent over an hour on a boat trip to get where the tour began. they combined us with a kayak tour ran off of norwiegan cruise line.we were on celebrity summit. I would say we spent a total of 20 minutes biking on the trail.we just got started and the leader stopped and told about the island and surrondings for about 15 mins.we spent about 15 to 20 mins at a fort which you have to walk uphill thru the woods to get to. there is a road leading up to it which I cant understand why we didn't ride our bikes up.we road our bikes to the worlds smallest draw bridge and spent about another 10 mins there. then we returned and spent 20 mins on the beach where the kayakers had returned from their trip. Ime and my wife bike a lot and we thought we were going to spend more time biking but actually spent a total of about 20 to 25 mins of the tour biking.then there was the boat ride back to the docks.would be a lot better if they took the people and bikes to the nearest entrance of the Bermuda bike trail from the dockyard and actually spent more time biking instead of transporting. the reason the boat ride takes so long over is they go out and try to show you sea turtles and then to a ship wreck.so you are hardly moving for over 20 mins while they are out there. I signed up for biking not a water tour

What a great way to see Bermuda! Fantasea was our guide and they were friendly and professional from the beginning! Taking us first on a great boat ride and pointing out sea turtles and sunken ships, we were taken to the spot to pick up our bikes. We rode on the rail trail, hiked up to a fort and saw lots of interesting sites. I would highly recommend this tour- it was a perfect way to spend the afternoon!

Tour guides are pleasant, but this tour is as lame as can be. Save your money and your time by avoiding this one.
