Â
Sark (full day)
Â
We transfer to Guernsey’s St Peter Port harbour and catch the morning ferry to Sark where we can experience life at a different pace. Just two square miles in size, this car-free island is the smallest of the four main Channel Islands and boasts some spectacular scenery, which we discover on a leisurely one-hour carriage ride.
Â
Please note: the excursion to Sark involves a fair amount of walking and is therefore unsuitable for those with limited mobility.
Â
Other optional excursions and car hire can be booked through our resort representative. A local bus service offers access to the whole island on both Jersey and Guernsey so a hire car is not essential.
Â
Guernsey Island Highlights Tour (half day)
Â
We enjoy a half-day tour of Guernsey where we take in the island’s pretty sights such as the famous Little Chapel, one of the smallest chapels in the world, which features in the novel The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. Our tour also takes in Guernsey’s beautiful Grandes Rocques and Pembroke Bay beaches, as well as the striking Pleinmont Point, a Second World War observation station that sits high atop a headland overlooking the coast.
Â
Jersey Island Highlights Tour (half day)
Â
We take a delightful tour along Jersey’s spectacular coastline. Highlights include St Brelade’s Bay, one of the island’s most popular resort beaches, the rugged north coast overlooking the neighbouring Channel Islands and the famous Corbière lighthouse on the south-west corner of the island. We also visit St Ouen’s Bay with its miles of golden sand and rolling Atlantic waves – a prime spot for surfing, and picturesque Gorey harbour overlooked by Mont Orgueil Castle.
