Activities

The Guernsey Explorer

Discover the charm and character of Guernsey, and learn more about the island's heritage, history and traditions, on this 90-minute island tour. 

Perfect for day-trippers

Shorter than the traditional half-day tour, The Guernsey Explorer is designed for day-trippers and is timetabled to coincide with cruise liner calls into St Peter Port. The shorter length means you still have time to explore the rest of the island at your own pace.

Tour route

The drive will commence from Stand A at the bus terminus, close to the Albert Pier where the cruise liner tenders disembark.

The coach will head north and will make a photo stop at Pembroke Bay. From there, you will drive along the west coast, passing Vazon Bay and Cobo Bay.

The tour will then head inland to take in the spectacular views at the local reservoir, before stopping at The Little Chapel. Originally built in 1914, the chapel is known for being one of the smallest in the world and is decorated beautifully in broken china, shells and pebbles. The Little Chapel features in the book 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society'.

Your driver will then take you for a trip through the parishes of St Andrews and St Martins where you will travel down the Val de Terres, before finishing back at the terminus.

Throughout the drive, there will be a pre-recorded commentary in English provided by Guernsey-born actor, Tigger Blaize. 

Bookings

£15 per adult and £10 per child (under 14).

Advanced bookings can be made directly with Island Coachways, or through your hotel receptionist. You can also call in at the Visitor Information Centre.

Tickets may be available on the day from the driver, depending on availability.
