Onwards to sleepy Somerset Village for lunch by pretty Mangrove Bay, you then follow a coastal track to the Royal Naval Dockyard at Bermuda's most westerly end.

You start the day in charming St George, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There's time to explore the tangle of colourful streets and picturesque harbour before a dazzling path lined with prickly pear and casuarina leads to Gates Bay where Sir George Somers first came ashore in 1609. You continue along a herb-scented coastal track to Ferry Reach, with its 17th century forts and Corsican tower.

At tranquil St David's, fragrant hibiscus scents the salty ocean air as you visit Red Hole bay. Then it's on to St David's Battery, with cliff views stretching infinitely across the ocean, before heading over to Cooper's Island, Bermuda's newest nature reserve, a truly isolated and unspoilt area.

From Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, balcony views span the entire west end across the azure waters of Great Sound, dotted with white sailboats. From here you descend to the sugary pink sands of the South Shore Trail, a string of nine gorgeous bays linked by a scented path of flowering morning glory and oleander. There's time for a dip at Chaplin Bay before a shaded path leads past cassava fields to the hotel, in time for a dip in the hotel's pool.

Colourful prickly poppies dot the sparkling coastal route towards Flatts Village, where friendly locals cast their nets into the azure expanse of Harrington Sound, an inland lake littered with sea grottoes. It's then onwards with views over the northern shore to reach Blue Hole Park, a tiny treasure trove of caves filled with aquamarine waters. Maybe savour a Dark 'n' Stormy cocktail after visiting the fascinating Crystal Caves, then take the bus back to the hotel.

Alive with the noisy chatter of yellow kiskadee, a gentle allspice-scented trail brings you to Paget Marsh, a wetland oasis, home to herons and warblers. Then it's on to the Botanical Gardens - John Lennon's Double Fantasy album is named after the purple flower he spotted here - before heading to Spittal Pond; maybe spot herons, egrets and flamingos before following the coastal path, vibrant with sea lavender, looking out for humpback whales basking in the warm Atlantic waters. Two options: 5km/3mi/1.5hr or 4km/2.5mi/2.5hr

The British Airways flight leaves in the early evening, so you have most of the day at leisure.
* 7 nights accommodation
* Centre-based
* 6 idyllic walks
* Fabulous year-round climate
This holiday is on a Room Only basis however buffet breakfasts and evening
meals can be paid for in advance as a supplement.
Bermudian cuisine is based around seafood, not surprising given its location.
A real speciality is the fish chowder; a divinely thick soup made with
rockfish or snapper and flavoured with a splash of sherry pepper sauce or
local rum. Other traditional dishes include ‘Peas and Plenty’ (black-eyed
peas with onions, pork and rice), paw-paw casserole and Hoppin’ John (peas
and rice).
Fish is often served as a main course and rockfish or wahoo have to be tried!
They are both ‘meaty’ white fish with a delicate flavour. Cod fishcakes
are popular too as well as ‘johnnycakes’ (cornmeal griddle 1cakes).
Rum is the local spirit of choice and has been blended on the island by
Gosling Brothers since the 1860s. Two local specialities made from dark rum
are the ‘dark ‘n’ stormy’ (rum mixed two-to-one with ginger beer) and
the ‘rum swizzle’ (rum with pineapple and orange juices and grenadine).
As a general rule, dark ‘n’ stormy is considered the ‘national’
tipple favoured by locals and the rum swizzle generally preferred by
visitors! Why not try both and make up your own mind?!

A traffic-free trail spans Bermuda's diminutive 21-mile length; we've split
it into 6 diverse sections to offer gentle walks exploring every corner. From
hidden sea grottoes to panoramic forts, lush flower-speckled fields to the
sun-kissed sands of the South Shore Trail, the kaleidoscope of colour is
unforgettable and the diversity of flora and fauna unbeatable. To help you
get around, a 7-day travel pass is included, allowing unlimited access to the
modern and efficient bus and ferry networks. Our local partner, Tim Rogers,
will brief you about how everything works; he has a wealth of knowledge about
Bermuda's flora, fauna and history.
The walking is predominantly flat with no real ascents or descents. Terrain
varies between asphalt, gravel, and earthen surfaces as well as some sandy
trails. Walking boots are recommended.
As this is a self-guided holiday there is no group and no leader. We have
suggested that 12yrs is the minimum age for this trip, but as it is
self-guided and you will be leading your own family we will ultimately leave
this decision up to you. There may be others on the same departure date as
you, but you will not be organised together. You are provided with route
notes for each day, which begin with an overview of the walk and advice on
lunch, followed by detailed instructions. The route notes contain a 24 hour
emergency assistance telephone number should you need it and in emergencies,
the hotels are normally able to dispatch a taxi or pick you up themselves.
They may wish to charge for this service.
Hotel
Coco Reef enjoys one of the best locations in Bermuda, right on the edge of
one of the most stunning beaches of the South Shore with pink sands, several
reefs and quintessentially Bermudian azure waters! The hotel has 64 rooms
divided between four pastel coloured buildings set over two floors. The rooms
have a 'tropical' feel utilising traditional Bermudian colours and are
decorated with wicker furniture and floral furnishings. All have private
facilities with bathtub and shower as well as a balcony or terrace too
equipped with furniture, mostly with good ocean views.
All the rooms are identical and the only difference is location. The Deluxe
Ocean View Rooms are located at the top of the hill on the same level as the
Lobby building and the Beach Front Rooms are located at the bottom of the
hill overlooking the main lawn with a staircase down onto the beaches. They
offer panoramic views of the ocean and beach. Every room in both categories
has a view of the ocean from the bed itself!
As your stay at the Coco Reef is on a room only basis, please let us know if
you would like to add breakfast, or breakfast and evening meal to your stay.
Prices for breakfast are from £194 per person per week; prices for breakfast
and evening meal are from £708 per person per week.
*Room upgrades:* Beach Front Double Room - Beach Front rooms are located
closer to the beach than the Ocean View Rooms.
All prices are based on 2 persons sharing, so if there is an odd number of
people travelling in your party or you are travelling alone, there will be a
compulsory supplement for a single room for the tour duration. For a solo
traveller there is an additional charge to cover transfer costs.
As this is a self-guided holiday there is no group and no leader. A local
representative is on hand to assist you and will meet you at the beginning of
the week to go through the route notes and point out particular places of
interest. Route notes and maps are provided pre-departure.
