Each of the five Islands of Guernsey have their own history and charm. With easy travel between each island by boat or plane, our archipelago is perfect for island-hopping, so it’s well worth taking the time to discover all that the islands have to offer. Wherever you go, you will find a warm welcome.
Sark
Considered the crown jewel of the Channel Islands, Sark is a wonderful place to escape to. With no cars and unpaved roads, you can step back in time to unspoilt landscape and explore by bike or horse drawn carriage. Sark is the world’s first Dark Sky Island, with low light pollution and lack of streetlights contributing to spectacular starry nights.
Herm
Just a 20-minute boat ride from St Peter Port across perfectly blue water, where you may spot some dolphins, is the tranquil island of Herm. With long stretches of white sand, cliff paths with views to the French coast and its own microclimate, Herm is an oasis in the Channel and one not to be missed.
Alderney
The second largest of the islands, Alderney is home to historical sites, golden beaches, and rich wildlife. With 30 miles of winding lanes and trails, you can explore the award-winning museum and the Channel Island’s only railway and enjoy its renowned birdwatching. The capital, St Anne, is filled with excellent restaurants, showcasing a huge range of homegrown produce.
Lihou
Across a cobbled causeway from Guernsey, you will find Lihou Island. Offering a real adventure, you can explore ruins, the tidal Venus Pool and RAMSAR wetlands and marine reserves. Lihou is a birdwatching paradise with over 150 species to observe and is also ideal for rock pooling. Perfect for a day trip or for a group overnight stay at Lihou House.
Guernsey
Whether you are seeking outdoor adventure, historical intrigue, or delicious food with a view, you can find it all on the largest of the islands. Walk along miles of scenic cliff paths before heading into town to discover boutique shops and restaurants. You can swim in the tidal bathing pools or even unwind with a West Coast sunset.
