• Head to Hamilton Parish and investigate the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo (website: www.bamz.org), as well as the Crystal Caves of Bermuda, made up of sprawling underground systems and crystalline tidal pools.
• Enjoy a ferry trip round Hamilton Harbour, or a longer cruise through the Great Sound stopping at Somerset Bridge, the rural village of Somerset, and the Royal Naval Dockyard.
• According to oriental legend, honeymooners should make a wish while walking through Moongates, circles of stone brought to Bermuda in the 19th century by a sea captain who had seen them on a voyage to China.
• Relax on Bermuda's beaches; snorkel and scuba-dive - visibility underwater is often as much as 61m (200ft). Scuba-divers can take a ‘tour' of old wrecks on the reefs. Sailing enthusiasts can get involved in various races throughout the year.
• Go fishing: Bermuda is one of the world's finest fishing centres, especially for light-tackle fishing. Equipment may be rented for shore fishing and there are charter boats for reef and deep-sea fishing. The best fishing is from May to November.
• Take in a round of golf at one of eight courses on the island: there are seven 18-hole courses and one 9-hole layout (website: www.bermudagolf.org).
• Enjoy a game of tennis. There are almost 100 courts on the island - most of the larger hotels have their own courts. Tournaments are held all year round and several are open to visitors. The Cup Match is held annually.
• Get a behind-the-scenes tour (and samples) of the perfume-making process at The Bermuda Perfumery, in St George (website: www.bermuda-perfumery.com).
