Ferry to St. George or Hamilton from Dockyard?

[Cruising to Retirement]

Will be arriving on Royal- Liberty of the Seas on 8/3, looking for a Ferry to St. George and maybe Hamilton, to see the Island from the water.  Travelling with two little ones.. Any info is appreciated including cost, etc...

The ferry to St. George does not run on the weekend. You can take the ferry to Hamilton. Cost is $5 cash or $4.50 if you buy tokens. Children 5-15 is $2.75 cash. The ferry schedule has all the times. http://www.marops.bm/Documents/Ferry/Summer Ferry Schedule 2024.pdf

Is there another option to get to St. George?  I assume by bus or Taxi... Any idea on suggestions- Thanks.

Ferry to Hamilton followed by bus or taxi to St. George. Taxi would be about $45 plus tip Mon-Sat for 1-4 passengers, 50% more on Sunday

 

Taxi from Dockyard to St. George (Expensive: about $85 to $90 plus tip one way Mon. -Sat. for 1-4 passengers. 50% more on Sunday)

 

Bus to Hamilton followed by bus to St. George...takes up to two hours

If you are only there for a single day, I would suggest skipping St George and just do Hamilton.

How old are the little ones? 
We are just now disembarking the Norwegian Joy after a week in Bermuda, which we have visited several times.

I agree with the poster above who advises skipping St George if you are only there for one day. It is too far to do comfortably. But why would you want to take little ones into Hamilton? Its attraction is mostly shopping.

With little ones, I would grab a shuttle off from the boat and visit one of the beautiful nearby beaches.

Oh, they are little! Not sure then if a beach would be the best idea either.

Hopefully some others will have some good ideas for you!

Whatever you do, enjoy your trip!
