Welcome to Bermuda! This post covers the most common asked questions around visiting Bermuda.
Most of the world has heard of The Bermuda Triangle, but where is Bermuda located? Bermuda is located in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a two-hour flight from New York City.
Visiting Bermuda is like no other. Endless views that feel as if you are in a real life painting. The island is speckled with peaceful pastel colored houses with the white rooftops and a constant background of jaw dropping Atlantic blues. It brings a sense of calm that is tough to put into words.
Bermuda is located in the Atlantic Ocean about 600 miles east from North Carolina, USA.
This image shows Bermuda much larger that it really is. When you look on the map, you might not see it right away on the map, as the size of the island is 21 square miles.
When is the best time to visit?
The best time to visit Bermuda is in the summer months. The ocean starts to warm up in May, but summer really kicks off June through August. Humpback Whale season is January through April. They are most present around the weeks of Easter, however April also brings quite a bit of rain.
What language do they speak?
Proper English. Prepare to be swooned by British accents.
What is the currency?
The currency is the Bermudan Dollar and the exchange rate is 1 BMD to 1 USD.
Can you use your cell phone?
If you do not have an international plan with a provider such as T-Mobile, you can purchase a local SIM card from Digicel. Before you adventure around the island, make sure the SIM is activated and working properly.
WiFi is available all over the island at most restaurants and pubs. If you do not get a SIM, turn off your cellular data + roaming and only use your phone when connected to WiFi.
In 2019, I switched to T-Mobile and have been a happy customer ever since. My phone works in every single country with no extra daily data charge such as AT&T and others. Click here to learn more about T-Mobile.
Is is safe?
Yes, Bermuda is exceptionally safe. Just like any location with high rates of tourism there are occurrences of petty theft. The most common are popping the seats of scooters and unattended bags.
Follow international travel safety rules: never leave your valuables out in the open or unattended.
How long should you visit?
Even though Bermuda is only 21 square miles, it is loaded with activities for all to enjoy.
Including a extensive amount of free places to explore. You can enjoy 34 public beaches, 90 forts, and 18 miles of old railway tracks that that now serve as walking and running trails.
At a minimum, I recommend 7 days to explore the island from east to west.
