Getting Here By Air
Most visitors arrive in Bermuda via LF Wade International Airport (BDA), located in St. George’s Parish. Bermuda is well-connected to major cities in North America, with direct flights from New York, Toronto, Atlanta, Miami, and Boston, among others. Below is a full graph of the current direct flights. Flight times are surprisingly short—under two hours from most East Coast cities!

Getting Here By Cruise Ship
Bermuda is a popular destination for cruise lines, with ships docking at the Royal Naval Dockyard in the West End. Cruises usually originate from ports along the East Coast of the U.S. and offer a hassle-free way to travel.
Top Tip: If you’re coming by cruise, take advantage of the onboard excursions offered—many include transportation, saving you from figuring out logistics on your own.

​Getting Around
Bermuda might be small (just 21 square miles!), but getting around is part of the fun. Here are the best ways to explore:
​
Public Transport (Buses)
​
Even our buses are pink and blue in Bermuda. Explore the island with ease using our public bus network, now featuring a new fleet of electric buses. Affordable, convenient, and scenic, here’s what you need to know before hopping on board.
​
Fares and payment – Bus fares range from $3.50 to $5 per ride, based on zones. Pay with exact change, pre-purchased tickets, or online through the Shorelink app. Tickets are available at the Hamilton Bus Station, Visitor Service Centres in Dockyard and St. George’s, Post Offices, and select hotels.
​
Unlimited rides – If you plan to use public transport frequently, purchase a Transportation Pass for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 7 days. The pass covers both buses and ferries, making island travel even easier.
Bus stop colors – Pink poles mean the bus is heading toward Hamilton. Blue poles mean it’s heading away from Hamilton, either east or west.
​
Buses and ferries – Bermuda’s public transportation system is efficient, clean, and budget-friendly. Buses serve the entire island, while ferries connect key locations like Hamilton, Dockyard, and St. George’s.
Etiquette – When boarding the bus, it’s polite to greet the driver with a “Good morning” or “Good afternoon.” It’s a small gesture, but Bermudians value friendliness.
​
Top tip – Download the Shorelink app to book tickets online and check the Bermuda Government website for real-time schedules. No eating, drinking, or large luggage is allowed on buses.
​
Scooters and Electric Vehicles
For those seeking independence, renting a scooter or electric car is a great option. Scooters are iconic in Bermuda and perfect for zipping around scenic coastal roads. For a bit more stability and comfort, rent a Twizy—a two-seater electric car that’s eco-friendly and easy to park. We recommend Current Vehicles for a "Twizzy" or a small electric vehicle and Oleander Cycles for motorcycles.
Top Tip: Drive on the left-hand side of the road, and be cautious on curves. Helmets are mandatory for scooter riders.
​
Taxis
Taxis are typically available and can be hailed at popular spots or booked in advance. Use the "Hitch Bermuda" app for Bermuda's taxi version of Uber or book in advance with "Ride Bermuda". Many drivers double as tour guides and are happy to share local tips or even offer a guided island tour.
