When should I come and visit the beautiful island of Bermuda?

Bermuda can be visited year round, but the busiest tourist time is from April through October when the weather is warmest and water temperatures comfortable for swimming and diving. It's also the liveliest time on the island, with plenty of events and entertainment options to keep visitors amused.

The Winter season in Bermuda is a bit cool for swimming, and many tourist-related agencies, like diving companies and boat tours, suspend operations for part of the season. January is the slowest month, so if you're more interested in tennis and golf or seeing the island when it's free of large numbers of tourists, this is the time to come.

The advantage of visiting Bermuda during the cooler months is that accommodation prices can be up to 35% lower and you can escape the colder winter of more northern climes. So-called 'snow birds' arriving from the US East Coast at the end of the 19th century originally made the winter months the high season in Bermuda. The best conditions for windsurfing also tend to be in winter months.
