Day 1: Arrive Jersey — St. Helier Welcome
Arrive at Jersey Airport or by ferry from Poole/Portsmouth. Transfer to your hotel in St. Helier. Afternoon orientation walk through the capital: the Victorian Central Market with its ornate cast-iron and glass roof, the Royal Square with its gilded statue of George II, and the marina packed with yachts. Welcome dinner at a harborside restaurant featuring Jersey’s famous seafood. Overnight St. Helier (4 nights).
Day 2: Jersey Island Tour — Coast to Coast
Full-day guided tour of the island. Morning: St. Brelade’s Bay with its 12th-century Fisherman’s Chapel, Corbière Lighthouse at the south-west tip, and the five-mile sweep of St. Ouen’s Beach where Atlantic rollers break on golden sand. Afternoon: the medieval Mont Orgueil Castle at Gorey, 800 years of history perched dramatically above the harbor, and the Jersey War Tunnels—an unforgettable underground museum telling the story of the German occupation. Evening at leisure. Overnight St. Helier.
Day 3: Wine, Oysters & the North Coast
Morning visit to La Mare Wine Estate for a private tour and tasting. Jersey’s unique microclimate—warmer than mainland Britain, with more sunshine—produces surprisingly excellent wines, along with apple brandy and chocolate. Continue to the north coast to walk a section of the clifftop path at Plémont with its sea caves. Afternoon: guided beach walk on St. Brelade’s Bay with an oyster tasting from the Royal Bay of Grouville—learn about Jersey’s world-class oyster farming while tasting the freshest oysters imaginable, shucked moments before. Overnight St. Helier.
Day 4: Free Day — Your Jersey
A day at your pace. Options abound: explore the Durrell Wildlife Park, founded by naturalist Gerald Durrell; visit the Hamptonne Country Life Museum, a restored 15th-century farmhouse; hike another section of the cliff path; take a RIB boat to the offshore Minquiers reef; or simply relax on the beach. Your guide provides personalized recommendations based on your interests. Overnight St. Helier.
Day 5: Departure
Breakfast and transfer to airport or harbor for departure.
