Spring Walking Festival
Saturday 25 May - Sunday 9 June 2024
Join experienced and professional Guides from the Bailiwick of Guernsey Guild of Accredited Guides for their annual Spring Walking Festival. From Saturday 25 May to Sunday 9 June, every day will see a range of guided walks exploring the wonders of Guernsey, Herm and Sark.
From coastal hikes and hidden ruettes tranquilles, to exploring our beautiful capital, each walk starts close to a bus stop and parking area, and all are rated from an easy amble to a more testing hike. 40 locally accredited silver and gold Guides will share their knowledge and help you to discover so much about the islands.
There are 47 walks included, including 14 brand-new tours for 2024. Please note that some walks may need to be pre-booked, please check individual listings and contact the guide directly for more information.

For updates on the festival, be sure to check out their Facebook page.
Regrettably, we are not able to allow dogs on public tours, other than registered assistance dogs.
