Complete Tour Description
We begin our journey entering into Bermuda’s one and only jungle. The most majestic scenery awaits you in this lush land filled with national birds, trees, and other beautiful creatures. It rests atop a vast underground caving system where the explorations are endless. Put on your hardhats and get ready for a guided decent into these beautifully adorned stalactite caverns. Then we will travel across the island to the Southlands Estate, better known as “The Vines”. This vast property is filled with garden pools, limestone quarries and the island's largest banyan tree grove. Here sits an old Bermuda home preserved for its historical significance, as well as a mausoleum with a great story to be told. Step back in time and enjoy your surroundings. Solitude awaits you; so come along and be intrigued!
