Yes uniquevacations@logic.bm - their e-mail address. Goggle uniquevacations - Bermuda. I've done this firm twice -- lovely people, great lift bus for scooters or wheelchair and approx. 12 people. Will try to customize your interests in the tour. Judith & Robyn. Cruiseline uses them so book early individually. Their pricing is fair -- Bermuda is an expensive island.

May ask you to meet them in Hamilton -- ferries are accessible to Hamilton, Dockyard and St. George's. Have fun. Aquarium/zoo, Underwater Museum are accessible -- they are small, but fun. Governor's House (dockyard) you can do on your own. Swizzle Inn - near St. George's -- fun place to eat.

Bermuda buses say handicapped -- however as of summer of '10 they were not taking w/c -- something to do with stops not being lined up with curb cuts. Contact Chamber of Commerce as it would be a great deal if they got their act together for this. Vicki

We cruised to Bermuda twice on Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas, docking at King's Wharf. My adult son is multiply handicapped and requires a wheelchair. Through the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce we were referred to Mr. Renalda Bean of Warwick Parish. Mr. Bean has a handicapped accessible van, is a certified tour guide and a local hero. You can reach him on his cell phone: 441-334-8835. He is absolutely WONDERFUL, knows the island inside out, and (I think) is reasonably priced. He showed us to a secluded cove on Horseshoe Bay where the sand was packed down enough so we could back the wheelchair onto the beach without getting stuck. He took us on a tour of "celebrity homes", drove us from one end of the island to the other, and suggested points of interest.

Most buildings in Bermuda are accessible, but you may need to inquire. For example, in St. Georges, we wanted to enter a store that had a few stairs. We didn't see a ramp anywhere so we started to walk away. The store owner came out after us and asked if we wanted to come in; she had a portable ramp which she put in place for us. You cannot beat Bermuda hospitality!
