Embrace the elements and get active in Guernsey’s great outdoors. From the long stretches of sandy beaches to the rugged cliff paths, the island is a haven for adventure seekers and nature explorers alike.
Take the plunge: Follow the coastline with a kayaking or coasteering tour or get out to sea with a surfing, stand-up paddle boarding or sailing lesson. Why not also check out La Vallette bathing pools, which have been here since 1865 and offer a safe, contained area for saltwater swimming and suitable for the whole family! Thrill seekers can take an exciting boat trip with Island Rib Voyages, during which you’ll blast across the sea just inches above the water.
Walking: A great way to discover the island is on foot. Challenge yourself on the elevated cliff paths or submerge yourself in nature by exploring Guernsey’s countryside walking routes.
Cycling: Renowned for its picturesque coasts and quaint country lanes, Guernsey is perfect for exploring on bike with a variety of cycle paths and cycle friendly roads to choose from.
Activities on land: If you prefer your activities on land rather than water, options include tennis, karting and horse riding to name but a few.
Golf: A selection of courses can be found on Guernsey including a testing short 9-hole pitch and putt course at Sausmarez Manor, or there’s a beautiful 9-hole course at St Pierre Park, while 18-hole courses include La Grande Mare Golf Club on the stunning west coast and the Royal Guernsey Golf Club at L’Ancresse Common. Families will love to tackle the challenging Pirate Bay Adventure Golf course too!
Island hopping tours: Guernsey is a great launch pad from which to visit the sister islands of Sark, Alderney and Herm. Sark is just 50 minutes boat ride from Guernsey yet feels an entire world away, with ferries operating year-round. A daily service is also available to Herm, an enchanting island just 20 minutes ferry ride away. For Alderney, flights with Aurigny are available while a ferry service is also offered daily in summer and takes about an hour.
