Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit Bermuda for winter and spring activities?

The best time to visit Bermuda for winter and spring activities is from February through May, when the island enjoys mild temperatures, fewer crowds, and a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. Late winter, particularly February and March, is ideal for cultural experiences, guided tours, spa visits, dining, and outdoor sightseeing. Cooler days make exploring historic towns, gardens, and scenic trails especially comfortable.

As spring arrives in April and May, Bermuda begins to warm up, with longer days and lush landscapes in full bloom. This period is perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, golfing, and boating, while still avoiding the peak summer rush. Together, these months offer an ideal balance of pleasant weather, seasonal events, and easygoing island charm.

Is swimming and snorkeling possible in Bermuda during winter and spring?

Yes, swimming and snorkelling are possible in Bermuda during winter and spring, though conditions vary by season and personal comfort.

In winter, ocean temperatures average in the mid-60s °F (around 18–20°C). While some visitors enjoy a quick dip, many choose to wear a wetsuit for snorkelling and other activities. The benefit is clearer visibility, and days that provide calm conditions that are ideal for exploring reefs - always check the weather forecast and note that Horseshoe Bay is the only beach with year-round lifeguards. 

By spring, sea temperatures begin to rise, making swimming and snorkelling more comfortable, often without a wetsuit. These months strike a lovely balance between pleasant water conditions, improving weather, and a quieter atmosphere than the peak summer season, making it an excellent time to enjoy Bermuda’s beaches and marine life.

Are there any special events or festivals in Bermuda in winter and spring?

There are a lot of notable events in Bermuda during the winter and spring. During winter, following all the Holiday festivities, check out the Bermuda Triangle Challenge, Restaurant Weeks, Spa Month and lots of art exhibits.
