Railway Trail Biking Tour: The original Bermuda Railway ran from one end of the island to the other.

Your bike tour offers some of the island's most spectacular views, with stunning seascapes, lush gardens and exotic flora and fauna.

Twenty-one speed mountain bikes are used and the terrain is a mix of mostly flat paved and dirt trails, suitable for an average cyclist.

Helmets and refreshments are supplied.
