The caverns are cool, as is the Maritime Museum.

Rent a scooter. You adapt to driving on the left easily, although roundabouts can be a challenge for the first day or two.

We are nothing if not a predictable bunch.

Where are you staying? I just spent a weekend there not too long ago (posted a thread about it). When are you going? My favorites:

Snorkeling empty beaches finding caves (dont pay for the tour thingum) archery scooters

I can provide more info once I know where youre staying. We were up by St Georges and only there for 23 hours so we didn't venture to the South side of the island.

We are staying near Hamilton for 6 days. Where are some good empty beaches?

Depends on if a cruise ship is in town or not. There wasn't one while we were there and the entire island was deserted. I'm talking like 1-2 people on the entire beach. When are you going?

Beaches: We visited Cooper's Island nature reserve which had all kinds of rocks to peek around. Some decent snorkeling off the beach.

Blue hole park had some fun caves to find if you looked for them slightly off the path. Also, some ledges to jump off of.

We went to Hamilton one night to check out the night scene and it was lacking. Not really the type of person that enjoys that stuff to begin with but this was especially lacking..and expensive.

Unfortunately this happened in separate events, the board bunches up my lists.

If you're interested in archery I can message you the email of the guy that showed us the ropes. Super cool dude, I rode up to check out the scene as they were closing up shop and he invited me back the next morning before the other shooters showed up to show us the ropes and shoot the targets. Really friendly guy, most Bermudans were.

Good tip: Pre party wherever you go, crap beers are $8 pretty much everywhere.

Seriously be carful if you are driving one of those scooters if you don't have experience with driving on the other side of the road. There are walls of coral literally at the curb on many roads and it will take hunks out of you if you are not carful. I have driven in England many times prior to my trips to Bermuda so it was not an issue but it can be quite un nerving to those that have not done it and the roads are more like paved paths when you get out of the town / city.

Be safe Have fun. It is a fantastic place!!!

I got to be honest probably going to skip renting the scooters. I have been told by a bunch of people that Bermuda is really expensive but the hotel and activities don't seem any more or much more expensive then here. I picked a hotel that was fairly recommended on Tripadvisor. Is it the food?

Literally just got off the cruise ship from bermuda. Rent a scooter. Wife and I had one for 2 days and it was awesome. It took just shy of an hour to get from one tip of the island the far side. The roads are small and winding. The views are spectacular. The beaches are amazing.
