Experience Overview
You will discover a landscape full of gentle surprises, shifting in a kaleidoscope of colour. Breathe the fresh salty air as you walk in the dramatic beauty of Jersey's coast. Meander in Guernsey along rugged cliff paths carpeted with gorse and wildflowers as the tide laps against the sweeping shoreline below.
Sark offers a truly unique holiday experience for those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of modern-day life. Being a car-free Island you will only meet walkers, cyclist or horses and carriages on the Island.
Wander through wooded valleys and country lanes to birdsong, or gently amble along the marina to enjoy local food and drink at a seaside pub nestled in a French-style fishing village. As the sinking sun lights up the evening sky, paddle your tired feet in clear local waters when the day is done.
Explore these unique islands in a large splash of green and blue and get ready to be amazed!

A delightful trip through the southern Lake District. There were some hiccups in transportation scheduling and communication between the tour operators, so beware of that on self-guided tours. But the accommodations were nice and the rest of trip was fantastic.

Terrific group, great itinerary. Guide was knowledgeable but behaved very inappropriately towards a single woman in our group. There was no provocation from her. It made us all uncomfortable and I’m sure ruined her trip. He singled her out incessantly and it was clear had a romantic intrrest in her. Not acceptable from a guide.
