Just three miles from the island of Guernsey, and a quick 20 minute boat ride away, lies this beautiful little island paradise, with a beautiful coastline, wild flowers, sparkling blue sea, pretty harbours and white sandy beaches. Herm Island, measuring just a mile and a half long and half a mile wide, has all we could wish for – there are no cars, no crowds and definitely no stress. On arrival at the harbour we will take an approximate 20 minute walk across the common to Shell Beach, where we will not be able to resist walking along the strand looking for shells. The path continues to Belvoir Bay, a little sandy lagoon, perfect for relaxing with an ice cream on a hot day. A woodland path stretches up to the top of the island where we visit the little church of St Tugual, dating from the 10th Century. On descending the hill, the Mermaid Tea Garden will be open for us to purchase a snack if we wish (not included), whilst we enjoy some free time to explore the small shops, which stock a variety of gifts and souvenirs. We shall return via the small boats to either Guernsey harbour or the Rosaire steps (depending upon tidal conditions).

This tour is not suitable for wheelchair users or passengers with limited mobility, as it is predominantly a walking tour. A variety of terrain will be encountered, including steep slopes, cliff paths, beach paths and grass. Suitable shoes should be worn. There is an optional one hour guided walking tour once on Herm Bay. Please come prepared for the weather conditions on the day.
