Great taste of all the features of the beautiful island of Bermuda! Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. A highlight for me was swimming in the cave. I highly recommend this trip!
Melissa_S, Jul 2026
It was a wonderful day! We learned so much about the island, and saw incredible things we would not have found on our own! 100% worth it!
Kresta_S, Jul 2026
Shawn, our tour guide, was amazing. He knew everything about everywhere we travelled. From the moment we left the port, through all 9 parishes and back; he constantly gave the passengers in our van facts/details/history/insight about all the landmarks we passed.
I travelled with my family (15 to 58 yo). No problem handling the hiking, spelunking, cave swimming, and even cliff jumping. Don't forget your water shoes!
Then to an off-the-beaten-path for the best fish meal, island drinks and ice cream around (get the apple pie flavor)!
And, finally, to a secluded beach with a postcard view for some snorkeling/swimming.
Top tier service. For example, Shawn would even take our phones to get video of everything. By the end of the day, we were all "family."
Very highly recommended tour and remember to ask for Shawn!

Meet up point was easy to find.This was the best excursion after having 2 sea days on a ship. My teenage boys had an absolute blast. I thoroughly enjoyed getting out into nature and getting to experience this beautiful island. Our driver, Shawn was full of fantastic, educational information. He didn’t just tell us about the history of the island, he told us about the people that live there as well. The restaurant we stopped at served the best fish I’ve ever had in my entire life. 100% must do.
Toni_B, Jul 2026
If you do any excursion while in Bermuda, this should be it! Our tour guide, Shawn, was very knowledgeable about the area, giving us a bit of history and fun facts as he drove us from location to location. He was super
accommodating and helped to make the experience fun.
Gregory_U, Jul 2026
Shawn was great - very friendly and knowledgeable. Don’t put on sunscreen before you go be because you’re going to the jungle and caves first. Wouldn’t recommend flip flops. Only bring a towel, bathing suit, and sunscreen. They give you a bag to use.
Teresa_c, Jul 2026
Bring a change of clothes you’ll get a little dirty in the caves. Angel and Ashley were the best tour guides ever.
Michelle_T, Jul 2026
Best experience ever! I would highly recommend this tour if you are up for adventures. A great way to see Bermuda.
jimhessler, Jul 2026
In a word - incredible! Our guide, Shawn was outstanding providing great information about the island during the trip from the dockyards, and making sure everyone was safe during the adventures. Hiking through the jungle was very beautiful, crawling through the caves was amazing (be sure to wear good walking shoes for this - not flip flops), then we arrived at the wet cave for a jump and swim into the "cave lake". Such a great experience. From there we crawled out of the caves to another lake for some cliff jumping - also amazing. From there, we headed to lunch and ice cream (really good ice cream!), then to a nice uncrowded beach for swimming and snorkeling. The entire day was wonderful. You'll get plenty of steps in, but it is absolutely worth it. Thanks again to our guide Shawn who really made this a memorable experience.
Sheila_D, Jun 2026
Best excursion we could have done. Hikes. Caves. Cliff jumping. Cenotes swim. Shawn is the freaking man!!! Took great videos and pics for us. Small group so we all enede up friends at the end. Cheered and encouraged eachother to do the jumps and such. Would definitely do it again
Mark_E, Jun 2026
You need to be able to climb through a cave. Be in shape. They provide bottled water. Bring dry clothes.
lpaljevic220, Jun 2026
Such a unique experience. The best day we had in Bermuda, everyone should join this excursion. The dry cave can get hot and definitely wear proper shoes, very slippery in the caves.
Heather_P, Jun 2026
Pick up is right at Naval Dockyard. Super easy to find. Millet was our tour guide. Friendly and informative and full of knowledge pertinent to our experiences. Made sure we had everything we needed and everyone was safe. There was 13 total of us. 6 from my party and 7 from another party. Would say ages ranged from 6 to 66. Everyone was capable of doing everything. Loaded up in a van with backpacks provided that had a hard hat, headlamp and two water bottles. Yours to carry on the cave exploration and cliff jumping. Good to know so you can carry your own stuff in there as well. The ride was long. About an hour and my kids that don’t usually complain definitely had some car sickness. So Dramamine was given on the return trip. Caves were very cool but beware footwear is important. My kids 9 and 6 managed with Crocs and socks. The dry cave was slippery still. Wet cave swimming was really cool. Cold water but refreshing and felt great after the humid hike. Then a quick hike back to a swimming hole with two jump points 10 and 15 feet up. My kids did the 10 footer. Again keep shoes on because climbing out of the hole is rocky. After the jump. Short drive to an eatery for lunch. Kids loved chicken fingers. I had fried fish which was delicious. Also the island special ginger beer was deliciously refreshing. Also got a scoop of ice cream which was homemade! Grabbed snorkeling equipment at this point and another short drive down to Cooper Nature Reserve. A nice semi private beach for snorkeling. There’s a giant rock in the middle of the bay that has coral and fish swimming around. Perfect little snorkel trip. Also had a freshwater hose to wash off with after coming off the beach. About an hour 15 minute drive back to port. Every bit of 7 hours was used. No worries for us as our cruise ship was staying over night. Departed for excursion at 11 and back at base of ship by 6:15.
Taylor_M, Jun 2026
One of the best excursion's I’ve been on! So much fun, very informative. Our guide Milton was funny, personable, had a ton of knowledge about Bermuda. We were able to jump off and swim in a beautiful water cave, do a small hike and then jump off some cliffs into a blue water hole. Would recommend this excursion !
Chad_K, Jun 2026
This is an amazing experience. All of the activities listed were great and above expectations. The only issue we had was with the schedule. The tour operator should know that there will be traffic on weekday mornings and account for it. Our driver arrived 15 minutes late, told us it would be a one-hour drive (which became 1.75 hours) and then did not leave the last stop in time and we were late arriving back to our cruise ship. Luckily, we did not miss the departure but it was a tense ride back.
Justin_O, Jun 2026
Great experience on this excursion - Millett was an awesome guide who provided a ton of island history and nature information along the way. He cares deeply about the island and shares his knowledge and safety precautions in order to pass along to future generations. The walk thru the nature preserve is relatively short, the caves are small, but very cool to experience. Cave swimming was awesome, as well as the blue hole swim and cliff jumps. Adults and children all had a blast. The lunch and ice cream were tasty, and the secluded beach was perfect for snorkeling and swimming. It was a great way to spend a day in Bermuda!
Shajmil, Jun 2026
We had an amazing time with our tour guide Shawn. The excursion was exactly as described and the lunch was great if you like very flavorful fried fish with rice and peas! I agree with the comments that should in decent physical shape for the walking, swimming and exploring caves. This was a very memorable experience!
Robin_M, Jun 2026
Shawn is a great guide and is very knowledgeable about the island and its history. I was so glad he was our guide. I read the reviews and he is phenomenal!
Please read the instructions about wearing the correct footwear. The terrain is exactly how it is described
We loved our lunch and it was timed out well with plenty of time.
Charlene_m, May 2026

Physical - need to be walk and move around easily. Not for anyone physically challenged. Fine for kids over 8.
Justin_A, May 2026
Great experience! Great tour guides! These guys are professionals and they know how to make sure you have a good time on your vacation!
Laura_H, May 2026
Shawn was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable. My grandson also had a wonderful time. Would recommend. Looking forward to doing it again next time I come to Bermuda.
Maura_C, May 2026
The van was too crowded. Absolutely uncomfortable. Plus you sat with backpacks on your lap. We also had our own bags.
Michaelwilhide, May 2026
My wife and I recently took this tour with a group of about 10–14 people, led by our guide, Dale. Dale was extremely knowledgeable about Bermuda and explained everything clearly and engagingly throughout the day.
He introduced us to various local flowers and shared interesting details about each one. He was funny, friendly, and always willing to answer any questions. Dale genuinely cared about the entire group, making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying each activity.
We had a fantastic time exploring the cave with helmets and lights, and Dale carefully guided each of us inside while prioritizing everyone’s safety. One of the highlights was jumping off the cliff into a beautiful blue lagoon, which was even saltier than the ocean.
We also enjoyed a great lunch together as a group, and the beach he took us to was absolutely beautiful. Since returning home, we’ve found ourselves often talking about this tour and all the wonderful memories we made.
Highly recommend this tour—and especially Dale, who made it truly exceptional.
Gillian_T, May 2026
We have great time exploring the cave and swimming in the cave. Although don’t dare to do cliff jump, it’s fun to see others jumping into green water. Snorkeling is fun and seeing lots of fish.
Brian_W, May 2026
We had a fantastic experience with our tour guide Dale! He was kind and funny and led us through the cave tour (very tight!) and the cave swim was amazing (I did the tunnel with one other person). I will note that the 15 foot cliff jump is easier than the 10 foot jump because the platform is more stable and flat. I would suggest doing that one. The beach was windy but beautiful. Also the fish at the Pizza House was better than what I had at more upscale locations. Just FYI. Great experience… thanks Dale!
Cinde_R, Apr 2026
We had a wonderful experience with Dale from Hidden Gems. He was knowledgeable, fun, and thoughtful. This was the only excursion we were able to do since it had rained the entire week.
Char_D, Oct 2025
This excursion had a lot of potential to be fun, relaxing, and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the experience largely depends on the kind of people you end up with in your group. For me and a few others around my age (30s–40s), much of our time was spent waiting for a few participants who should not have joined this excursion in the first place.
The guide did an excellent job assisting those who were less physically able—literally pointing out where and how to step, and even pushing or pulling to help. However, it was clear that some participants had ignored the warning that those with mobility issues should not participate.
For the amount I paid, I wasn’t satisfied with what I got. Be aware that your experience will be heavily affected by how physically capable your group is. If you have mobility issues (difficulty crawling, climbing, or lifting yourself), please do everyone a favor and choose another activity.

The people who run this excursion do not care about their patrons. We were scheduled to begin at 2:30. Our boat didn't give us the all clear to exit until 3pm and then it took us about 20 mins to get off the boat and get to the meet up location. (There are hundreds of ppl getting off the ship at the same time and there are long lines and delays). When we got to the meet up location we were told that the excursion had already left and that we wouldn't be able to get a refund. No alternative was suggested. We volunteered to pay our own way in a taxi to meet up with the group. They said we wouldn't be able to find them in the forest. We offered to meet up at the 2nd location so we could at least get a portion of the excursion. They were unwilling. We asked if there was anything at all they could do but zero effort was made to accommodate us. This was a $400 excursion where the money just went down the drain. They blamed us for not calling ahead to tell them we were running late. We told them we did not have phone service. They shrugged it off and said "well, lots of people pay for international phone service." I understand that we were late - But my biggest issue was with their total lack of caring about our money or the missed experience. No offer for an alternative. No suggestion for something different that we could do. No interest in even a partial reimbursement. NOTHING!!! Even though it was not our fault that we were late.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Good Day. We at Hidden Gems of Bermuda Ltd pride ourselves on our customer experience. As a result, I personally waited beyond a reasonable time in an attempt to accommodate your party of 2 persons. All other participants were waiting well beyond a feasible time frame just so that we could give you a full benefit of the doubt. Once we saw thousands of guests departing the ship, including those with walkers and in wheelchairs, we knew there could not have been any real effort on your behalf to make it in time for the excursion. You casually walked into our agency quite some time later demanding a refund. We obviously could not oblige as every opportunity was made on our behalf to wait for you. This, in turn, did upset all of our other customers who were waiting in the bus long before you ever came to check in for the excursion.
On another note, all operators within the agency whom you dealt with work independent of one another. We could not possibly accommodate you otherwise in offering another excursion choice, as it would not have been our responsibility to pay for another excursion due to your negligence. We suggest you make a better attempt at timing in the future so as to avoid further disappointment in your decisions.

Beautiful day and great experiences. Between the caves exploring, cave swimming and jumping into the pools you couldn't ask for much more. Our tour guide Shawn was awesome. Friendly, funny and knowledgeable. He even took us to a couple extra beaches to grab pictures since the weather didn't cooperate.
