Travel Tips

The Bermuda Dollar trades at the same rate as the U.S. dollar and carries the same symbol ($). Bermuda and the U.S. dollar are accepted interchangeably.

Located in the North Atlantic, Bermuda is recognised as one of the safest and most welcoming island nations. Bermuda consistently earns a Level 1 rating by the U.S. Department of State, which asks travellers to simply exercise normal precautions when visiting.

In addition to a round-trip ticket and a valid passport, visitors arriving by air or yacht will need to complete the Arrival Card form prior to landing in Bermuda. Visiting yachts and crew should also refer to entry requirements for arriving by private vessel for additional information.

As of March 1, 2014, Bermuda entry visas and visa waivers are not required for tourist and business visitors and work permit holders.

If you’re married and your identification documents are in your maiden name, please carry your marriage certificate or a certified copy as further proof of identity.

Big hits are rare in Bermuda, averaging just over one per decade. The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs June 1 through November 30. Four important things to know:
•    Most hotels have “hurricane guarantees” that provide refunds or future complimentary stays.
•    The island usually gets plenty of advance notice of an approaching storm.
•    The emergency services are very well-versed in storm preparation.
•    Bermuda’s stone buildings are incredibly strong and many have withstood hurricanes for centuries.
