Jayneykul Posted May 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2016 We would like to climb the lighthouse and see the fish at the drawbridge on our last day. Is this possible using the buses? Thank you for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailBadtheSinner Posted May 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2016 You'll be on the Summit, correct? You could take a route #7 bus to get to both. The drawbridge is first if you are coming from the Dockyard. A taxi would be a good option. Since it is your last day, plan to get an early start. Gibbs opens at 10AM so make an effort to be there by then. SBtS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

descal13 Posted May 12, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2016 We wanted a local tour and met another couple who were interested in the same idea. We found a friendly taxi driver right off the cruise dock who agreed to take us on a private tour of the island. It was 3 hours and cost us only $50 per couple (plus we each gave him a tip). It was well worth the money spent! I told him I am an artist and wanted to see sights I could photograph to make paintings of later, and he took us to many beautiful spots including Gibb's Lighthouse, the little drawbridge, Flatt's Village and the Aquarium, a soldier's fort and graveyard, a sea-glass beach, a place with a charming little chapel and some beautiful, photogenic gardens and ocean views. He was a lively tour guide and gave us lots of Bermuda lore, and his cab was a mini van that was very comfortable and air conditioned. We took all the time we wanted at each spot and still saw everything. I think we will do the same thing this time around, maybe start a "private" taxi tour in St. George's this time rather than Dockyard. That way we can see St. David's Light (my husband is a David, so he'll like that). He has mobility problems due to a respiratory issue, so he loved our previous tour. We negotiated the price with the driver before we took the ride, but I think their rates are set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
