Family holidays in Guernsey are perfect for reconnecting with each other and with nature. The Islands are an outdoor playground with history, wildlife and creative activities to enjoy. So whether you plan to take on adventurous watersport activities or unwind with pottery painting, all interests are catered for in Guernsey.

An Outdoor Playground

Step back in time and discover Norman castles, wartime forts and hidden tunnels around the Islands. Most are free to explore, open all year round, and can be incorporated into a coastal walk. Castle Cornet, Vale Castle, Fort Hommet and Fort Doyle all are excellent places to learn about Guernsey’s history.
