Production Weighs In on Bermuda’s Seasonal Weather
After spending over a month shooting on the island in summer 2009, the entire Voyage.tv crew came to know and love the fickle weather of Bermuda. As any local Bermudian will tell you, “If you don’t like the weather in Bermuda, give it five minutes!” From our experience upon returning to the island in January to shoot our brand new Golf Bermuda series, truer words have never been spoken.
While there we had to contend with unseasonably strong winds and more rain than usual (Bermuda doesn’t have a rainy season, it’s pretty even year-round). And considering we had our Director of Photography shooting glory shots down the middle of the fairway from the roof of a golf cart, the wind was definitely difficult to contend with. But with the wind came quickly moving clouds, so the few times we were caught in a downpour, we knew the sun was never far behind.
While it is about ten degrees cooler on average in the winter months than in the summer, that’s still a balmy 65-70°F! For anyone who isn’t fortunate to live in a tropical climate, it’s still paradise.
Our verdict: Whether January or June, if you’re heading to Bermuda, sign us up!

Notes from Production: Back to Bermuda!
For those who can’t get enough of our Bermuda signature programming, we have some exciting news. This January, Voyage.tv returned to the beautiful island of Bermuda to shoot a brand new series, Golf Bermuda. Our challenge included 1 Golf Pro Host, 1 Crew, 7 courses and 4 days!! From the sprawling fairways of the Port Royal Golf Course (which recently underwent a major $15 million renovation), to the sun-drenched, rolling greens of Mid Ocean Golf Club, we covered every nook and cranny of golf in Bermuda – an island that flaunts more golf courses per square mile than any other place in the world.
This year’s Bermuda Open Golf Championship boasted the first ever female competitors since its inception in 1966, and we were there to get exclusive interviews with some of the players about their experiences. We also sat down with Terrett West, President of the Bermuda Golf Association, to talk golf.
As always, the people of Bermuda – the entire golf community included – welcomed us with open arms, and provided us with lots of great content for the series. It was a busy and successful week, and it was hard for us to leave!
While you anticipate viewing our Golf Bermuda programming in the coming months, take a look at some behind-the-scenes photographs straight from the green:
