Book NowWe start our Island hopping on the Island of Guernsey with its beautiful coastline and fascinating history – from Neolithic times to its 5 year German occupation in WW2. From here we’ll hop over to the Island of Herm, a tiny but beautiful haven with no cars, no crowds and definitely no stress. The beaches on Herm are simply breathtaking. You can walk around the whole island in a couple of hours or simply while away the time one of the pubs on the island. Our next Island hop is to Sark, where our mode of transport here will be a charming carriage ride, peeping over the pretty hedges with the gentle clip-clop of horses on country lanes. The pace of life is so laid back and relaxed. There are pretty little cottages and shops, narrow lanes to stroll along and beautiful sea views.
