Detailed itinerary
1
Discover the coastal areas of the stunning islands of Herm and Jethou, just 3 miles away from St Peter Port, Guernsey.
Sail across the Little Russel towards Herm and Jethou and be transported into crystal clear waters and experience sandy white beaches which could easily be confused for the Caribbean.
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, seals and puffins, as well as plenty of other marine wildlife.
This 1.5hr cruise sails along the south and east coasts of Herm via Puffin Bay, Putrainez, Belvoir Bay and Shell Beach. You will also pass close to the private island of Jethou and, with a bit of luck, may even witness the private helicopter up on the helipad.
