Useful Tips:

If you have more time, visit the Crystal Caves, an underwater cave system with crystal-clear water and limestone formations over 30 million years old. If you have less time, combine day 1 and day 2 by visiting Somerset Long Bay Beach directly after the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo.

Airports:

Bermuda's only airport is the L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA), located about 15 minutes from the capital city, Hamilton. Taxis and buses are available for transportation to and from the airport.
