Easy and fun! We learned some things about the local environment and protections in place, staff were friendly and helpful. With proper cautions, easily accessible for those with minor mobility issues. Meeting place is right next to the cruise ship dock. So many choices for how to enjoy the cove! 5/5 would absolutely recommend and would do again!

This was an excellent experience! The crew were helpful, friendly and funny. The trip out was smooth and even though we had some questionable weather, they kept the drinks and music flowing. They even made chocolate chip cookies for everyone to munch on :) There were several kayaks and paddle boards for people to use (I used both off and on). Overall, a wonderful and fun experience!

Meeting and Pickup

Meeting point

  • 4 N Arm, Sandys MA 01, Bermuda

    The centre of Heritage Wharf & Kings Wharf in the Royal Naval Dockyard. In the middle of the pier there is a large black & white STAR on ground at the waters edge. A staff member holding a pink "Restless Native" sign will meet you at the STAR.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What To Expect

Make your way to Heritage Wharf to board your catamaran. After meeting your captain, guide, and fellow passengers, settle in on deck and depart the harbor for a scenic cruise around Bermuda.

Sail along the coastline for about an hour as your captain shares stories of Bermuda’s history and landmarks. Sip a rum swizzle—the island’s signature cocktail made with rum, juice, and bitters—or choose from the full cash bar. Enjoy warm chocolate chip cookies baked fresh onboard as you take in the views.

The catamaran then anchors in a secluded cove for around two hours. Enjoy the water and surroundings at your own pace—wade into the shallow areas, relax on deck, or head out to explore using the provided snorkeling gear, stand-up paddleboards, or kayaks. The nearby reefs are home to colorful marine life such as parrotfish, butterfly fish, snappers, and sea turtles.

After your time at the cove, cruise back to Heritage Wharf.

This trip was the highlight of our cruise. Catamaran ride super stable. Crew very friendly and informative. It is obvious they are very proud of their island. Drinks were great, virgin as well as Rum Swizzlers. they even had freshly baked cc cookies. The snorkel site was just ok -corals very nice but few fish at that time, no ones fault. I would absolutely recommend this excursion to everyone!

Great experience. Nice length of cruise. Good vibes on cruise. Nice staff on cruise. Would recommend

Good Party Trip

Jane_L, Jul 2026
We only saw a handful of fish. It seemed more like a sailing trip and a party trip. Rum Swizzles were a big focus and fun. Depends on what you expected. We wanted to see more fish and maybe turtles; a shipwreck maybe. It’s possible we picked the wrong excursion.

Eh

Asher_M, Jul 2026
It was a nice boat but the staff left much to be desired. The captain was very nice, however the bartender and the “historian” completely made everything up about the island and the bartender was rude when asking for anything.

My family and I were taking a cruise to Bermuda and booked this excursion for one day while we were there. We had 10 in our group and had the best time! It was so much fun and would do it again if we come back to Bermuda. The captain and crew on Restless Native Catamaran were great!

Alevtina_D, Jul 2026
It was a good and peaceful time. The whole crew was really nice and funny. Everyone on the boat just did their own thing swimming or tanning or drinking. But overall a great experience for an afternoon.

Wonderful experience…highly recommend!

In adequate gear

Donna_W, Jul 2026
They do not provide gear for people with large feet and they do not provide goggles that magnify for people who wear glasses. Other catamaran tours I’ve gone on have always provided both.

Angel & Ashley

Colleen_G, Jul 2026
Amazing excursion exploring caves. Gold stars go to Angel and Ashley for their depth of knowledge and "fun fact" hysterics that kept our family of 4 engaged and giggling the WHOLE trip! Honestly a trip highlight in Bermuda!

Restless native catamaran sail and snorkel

JoAnn_D, Jul 2026
A wonderful, fun, relaxing day! A must! Beautiful way to end our Bermudaful family vacation. Snorkel, kayak, paddle boarding included. So much fun! Not to mention the unlimited swizzlers! 🍹

Great day on the water...

Janice_B, Jul 2026
Great day on the water with great crew. Rose severed us Rum Swizzles by paddle board as we floated in the warm clear water!!!!!

Perfect Afternoon in Bermuda

Gretchen_T, Jul 2026
This was a great afternoon! The tour operators gave perfect instructions for meeting and boarding the boat. We had a lovely 30 minute ride to the bay, where we were able to swim, snorkel, and kayak/paddleboard. The rum swizzles were great and we indulged to our heart’s content! I would highly recommend this tour.

Had a great time!

Diana_M, Jul 2026
We were a group of 11 on this excursion. There were approximately 30 people on board. The crew was very nice and attentive. There were kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling equipment, pool noodles and even flotation devices for anyone who was not comfortable with deeper water. The cove we went to was calm and quiet. The rum swizzles made by the crew were plentiful and yummy!! They baked us cookies too. We had a great time and it was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!!

Great afternoon on the water!

Bradley_A, Jul 2026
It was a great afternoon on the Restless Native. The captain and crew were excellent. We went on a quick journey to a quiet cove and swam/floated in the clearest water you'll ever see. They even paddled out rum swizzles to us on the water. Snorkel gear, pool noodles and kayaks/SUP boards were provided.

Michelle_T, Jul 2026
So many fun options to do beyond snorkeling. The beach was amazing and the boat was super fun! I liked this tour

Great tour in Bermuda

Jovana_G, Jul 2026
Great tour! Very convenient to start the tour close to cruise pier and short sail to beautiful cove. Catamaran was comfortable and service was great. Perfect afternoon in Bermuda! Highly recommend and would definitely do it again! If you are looking for amazing snorkeling this may not be your top option, but if you want to swim, kayak, paddle board or dive of a cliff, this is your tour. There are a few caves you can explore and see some fish. Water is shallow and you can stand if you want.

Good experience. Easy...

Chris_H, Jul 2026
Good experience. Easy pickup right at cruise port. Lots of time in the water to snorkel etc. pleasant crew

Beautiful day

Mitchell_K, Jul 2026
Beautiful day of swimming and snorkeling in a small cove with an attentive crew. Paddle boards, kayaks, and a relaxing day of fun.

Restless Native Catamaran Excursion

David_F, Jun 2026
This is our second time taking the Restless Native excursion. Again, we were not disappointed. Rachel and her team were super friendly and helpful. We sailed to the usual quiet inlet to enjoy swimming, snorkeling and just floating around. The staff kayaked to the group pouring us all cups of refreshing Rum Swizzle. I am looking forward to our next time with this company, as we will definitely be back to Bermuda next year.

Do not take if you are not on a cruise ship

Tracey_J, Jun 2026
The trip was ok. Ive been to Bermuda several times but my first time trying this one. I was told by the tourist booth the boat meets by Calio Jack 1:30 . I didn’t see a boat anywhere near at 1:25. I asked a few other workers in a panic as I already paid and no one knew where to go even when I showed them the meeting spot description from the conformation. The meeting spot on viator had GPS and it was wrong as well as the directions on the visitor confirmation. I ended up walking around asking several people and finally I was told it was next to the cruise ships. I only Made it because everyone else on there was on the cruise ship so there was a long line. If your really into snorkeling then you will be disappointed. If you just like to swim in pretty water and drink then you’ll be ok with it.

A must to do in bermuda.....do not pass it up!!

Thomas_S, Jun 2026
I can't say enough .... this experience is a MUST for everyone to do.

Donna_S, Jun 2026
You’re going to have a great time and experience! We enjoyed the service, the crew, the non-motorized water activities, and of course the unlimited cookies and rum swizzles!

Amazing! Best part of the trip!

Jennifer_D, Jun 2026
This was such an amazing experience. They took us to a beautiful little beach with a bunch of caves to explore. Everything we needed was on the boat, snorkel gear, kayaks, paddle boards, rum swizzles and chocolate chip cookies! Rum swizzles are served to you as you're out in the water!!! Not only was it an amazing time but we also learned a lot of history about Bermuda! We would do it again and I highly recommend this experience!
