Channel Islands holiday FAQs
- Go island hopping. With a little planning you can easily discover all of the islands, including some small unpopulated ones. Highlights include alighting by boat on Herm, with its microclimate and dolphins, Alderney, with its historic sights and gourmet restaurants or Lihou, for its the tidal Venus Pool, plus RAMSAR wetlands and marine reserves.
- Gaze up at the stars at the world’s first Dark Sky Island, with low light pollution and lack of street lights on Sark. This charming island also has no cars or paved roads meaning you can explore this untouched landscape by bike or even a horse-drawn carriage.
- See Guernsey by bike. The flattest of the islands, Guernsey, rewards cyclists with its many Ruettes Tranquilles (peaceful lanes) dotted across the island. Using these you can see a multitude of sights, including Creux es Faies neolithic grave, the Fort Grey and Shipwreck Museum and on the west coast you can visit the remote, tide-dependent Lihou Island.

Local delicacies you must try while you’re here include sweet oysters grown off the coast of Herm, scallops and crab harvested off the coasts of both Guernsey and Jersey and Sark lobster.
