Day Trips By Ferry

Here is a selection of seasonal or semi regular sailings suitable for day trips from Guernsey. Sailings are always subject to change. Please confirm all details with the ferry company.

Starting on Friday the 30th May 2025 Islands Unlimited is starting a daily passenger service between Guernsey and Jersey with two or three sailings per day.

There are daily ferry services to the islands of Alderney, Sark and Herm. Visit Guernsey has a page with more details.

Jethou Open Days

Jethou is normally off limits to visitors, but on rare charity open days you can actually step ashore and explore this privately occupied island from Guernsey. These special day trips are usually organised by Les Bourgs Hospice with the support of the island’s tenant, and tickets tend to sell out very quickly once released. The price typically includes return boat travel on the Herm Trident, several hours to walk around Jethou, and a simple baguette lunch served in the manor gardens, with extra refreshments such as a Pimms bar or Liberation beer available to buy. Numbers are strictly limited, pets and smoking are not allowed, and the trip is not suitable for young children or anyone with significant mobility issues due to the terrain and boarding arrangements. These occasional open days offer one of the Channel Islands’ most exclusive day trips, combining a scenic boat ride with a rare chance to experience an otherwise private island while supporting local hospice care.
