Picture-Perfect Port
Make a splash
Guernsey’s spectacular coastline is all the reason you’ll need to get out on the water, and whatever your experience or fitness level, you’ll find an activity that will leave you with that healthy holiday glow. Try a surfing lesson with Guernsey Surf School at Vazon Bay, or join a guided kayak or stand-up paddle boarding session with Outdoor Guernsey and explore the island’s secluded bays, sea caves and wrecks. The rugged Pea Stacks islets at Jerbourg Point are ripe for a spot of coasteering, too.
Take me to the beach
Hike or Bike the trails
The Islands of Guernsey are one of three territories in the British Isles - along with Jersey and the Isle of Man - that aren't part of the UK, but which are self-governing dependencies of the Crown.
Journey back in time
Go Island hopping
Car-free Adventure
The world’s first designated Dark Sky Island, car-free Sark is just a 35-50 minute ferry ride from Guernsey but feels like a world away. Hop on a bicycle or horse-drawn carriage to explore.
Wild Island
The wonderfully wild island of Herm is just a 20-minute boat journey from St Peter Port. A nature-lover’s dream, the
island’s easy-to-hike coastal path leads past stunning sandy beaches, rock pools and dunes.
Birders’ Paradise
Guernsey and its islands are a magnet for bird watchers, and an hour on the ferry will take you to Alderney, known for its
large colonies of puffins and gannets, and home to the Alderney Bird Observatory.
