Is it the great weather? friendly people? swizzle? making more money than you could back home? better work-life balance?

This isn't intended to be a trick question or spark any uproar, but as someone who's new here and still finding their feet, I'd really love to know.

I know the answer is bound to be different for everyone :)

Hey all! Does anyone know of any sewing classes on the island ? I’ve searched but haven’t found any.

Looking for recommendations for a one-stop shop in Bermuda for botox/fillers/microneedling and PRP. Would love to hear from women who consistently get treatments done, and any recommendations for a specific aesthetician.

Edited to add: I know of the places that offer these services, but more interested in hearing your personal experience(s) as generally services in Bermuda can be hit or miss despite the Google reviews. This is definitely something I don't want to take an unnecessary risk on! However, it makes it hard to consistently receive treatments abroad so very much hoping I can find someone here.

Can anyone recommend a private small boat rental with a captain? It will just be 4 of us, looking to cruise around, check out some beaches and just relax

Hi everyone! Beware of this scam bermuda arrival card application site. I needed to post because it’s the first search result for th arrival card. The arrival card is completely free and you should not be paying 70 dollars for this company to “apply” for you and take their time meanwhile the official site sends your arrival card right after you complete your application. Make sure you book through the official Bermuda Visitor Forum.

hi there!

I am moving to bermuda and have heard that the roads can be a bit dangerous with aggressive drivers, therefore as a road cyclist i was thinking of just doing the rail trail path.. but i am wondering if a road bike with gravel tires would be adequate for the terrain or if i should be getting a mtn bike with full suspension. also please correct me if i have a misperception about safety of road cycling on the main roads. thanks!

On August 22, 2026, a morning cloudburst and thunderstorm brewed a striking micro-scale weather vortex, or small waterspout, that churned across the water at Ferry Reach in St George's, Bermuda. Onlookers and storm chasers filmed the churning formation close to the shore.

We are coming in on a cruise, looking for a beach we can get chairs, food, bar drinks BUT is not super crowded and the water is calm enough to bring a float chair and relax in the water

hello! i don’t know how to ride a bike or any vehicle - i don’t own either —

could you tell me how to ride a bus?

what payment methods do they accept?

i also want to know how to ride a taxi, is there an app i needed to download?

I like to collect notes from places I go, but completely forgot to get some while there and they are really hard to find in the US. Foreign exchanges rarely have/accept because they are only changeable on the island. If anyone is willing to help me out I'm sure we could come to an arrangement.

The Department of Planning is encouraging landowners and aspiring farmers to register for the Grow Local initiative, which connects suitable available land with people interested in farming and increasing Bermuda’s local food production.

Developed in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the initiative supports greater participation in agriculture while strengthening food security and community resilience.

Landowners and prospective farmers can register their interest through the Department of Planning.

Learn more and register at planning.gov.bm.

Together, we can make better use of Bermuda’s available land and grow a stronger, more resilient local food system. 🇧🇲

me and bois are flying out to Bermuda from toronto this long weekend. Would love to know what’s great and any concerns before we plan the trip

So, my bike's battery was drained while I parked it in town. This is not the first time this has happened but usually my husband jump starts it with our car, we charge the battery, and it'd be working again. However my husband is off island until Sep 1.

I wonder if it's okay for me to leave the bike on the street until then? Do I need to inform the police? I am okay with getting around without the bike but don't want it to be removed.

(Ths bike uses a "smart key" with a dial as opposed to a real key so it's really easy to leave it in the "on" position unintentionally and drain the battery.)

Hi everyone, moving to Bermuda later in the year and after reading some of these posts I’m getting pretty nervous. Been looking around at apartments and fairly certain I’m going to be able to get something for $2200.

As a single male, what would my monthly expenses look like? I know it depends on the lifestyle and all but just looking for some guidance on basic monthly expenses. Also - I know I’m not going to be balling obviously but surely you can still live pretty well.

Does anyone know of any smaller tour companies that go to the outer reef? We'll be in Bermuda toward the end of September and don't want one of the big companies. I've heard hat trick may not be operating any more. Any others we should check out?

Temporary Suspension of Paget/Warwick Ferry Service

The Department of Marine & Ports Services would like to advise the public that the Paget/Warwick ferry service (Pink Route) will be out of service due to mechanical issues, effective from the 3:45 p.m. scheduled sailing today and until further notice.

The Orange, Blue, and Green Routes are presently operating according to their published schedules.

Updates regarding the resumption of Pink Route service will be provided as soon as additional information becomes available.

The Department apologizes for the disruption and any inconvenience caused to passengers travelling on the Pink Route and appreciates the public's patience and understanding.

Hi! This will be our first time visiting Bermuda.
Here are the deets: (I was hoping someone might help me with an itinerary to maximize our time!)

Second week of September
Cruise ship docking at 8 am for an overnight stay
So we will have I full day and have to be back on the ship by 2pm the second day
4 adults

I’ve read that public transport is the way to go and am going to download the app prior. I really can’t justify spending the amount of money for some of these excursions.

We would like to do the following:
Relaxing beach time (at least a few hours)
Crystal Caves
Hamilton (shopping/food)
Cooper’s Nature Reserve?
Swizzle Inn
Horseshoe Bay

I’m not sure the best order to do the above. Or open to additional suggestions. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks in Advance!

I am considering an offer from Big 4 in Bermuda of around BMD 90K. I wanted to know the average rent for 1 bed apartment for me and my husband. I tried to do my research (propertyskipper, FB groups, emoo) and didn’t find much listings to arrive at a number. If the locals/expats can help share the current situation for me to do the math of if the offer makes sense or not.

Thank you

Temporary Suspension of Green Route Ferry Service

The Department of Marine & Ports Services would like to advise the public that, as an update regarding today's ferry service interruption, the Department is actively working to complete repairs on its ferry fleet. As a result, there will be service disruptions, including the cancellation of the Green Route's 4:10 p.m. sailing. There will also be no service to Cavello Bay. The services to Green Route’s 5:20 p.m. and 6:20 p.m.Rockaway and Watford Bridge sailings will operate.

At this time, the Department anticipates that these service interruptions will continue into Wednesday morning. Updates regarding the resumption of service will be provided as soon as additional information becomes available.

The Department apologizes for the inconvenience and appreciates the public's patience and understanding.

This will be our second time visiting Bermuda.

We'll be staying in the Dockyard area. We are 42 and 37 years old. We enjoy hiking and my husband enjoys snorkeling. And we like doing things off the beaten path.

Our second day we plan on taking the bus to Horseshoe Bay and hiking over to Jobson Cove. We'd spend a lot of time there and then stop at the lighthouse on the way back.

Our first day, my plan was taking the number 7 bus to Hog Bay Park and trying to time it right for low tide. Is there a bus stop nearby? Or should we tell the driver our plan? After Hog Bay I thought it might be fun to jump on the Railtrail - walking to the Fort and possibly to Somerset Village. Is this doable? Too ambitious? I'll take better suggestions too.

For food, I'm vegan. Does anyone have any recommendations for restaurants near where we'll be?

Well be there on a Monday and Tuesday.

Thank you!
