Travel Information for Jersey

Getting there is often a source of anxiety, so we tell you some details here and comprehensive directions to the actual holiday when you book. There's also nothing worse than finding out too late that you could have travelled there cheaper! All our tours and walks are land price only, therefore you can make your own travel arrangements to get to Jersey with our help. 

We can do an inclusive tour including flights, but you must let us know at the outset which option you want.

Gear: what to bring

Special interest breaks and holidays With special interest breaks you can get away with less equipment than is needed for walking and trekking breaks: stout shoes, waterproof anorak, small ruck sack, fleece or sweater to put on during a stop, thermos or water bottle, camera & film

Walking and trekking breaks and holidays:

You may be well accustomed to the whims of mountain weather at home, but in Jersey on occasions the weather can be foul particularly in Autumn, therefore you need to pack clothing for all eventualities! In order to help you we have listed below the things needed for a walking holiday in the Channel Islands.

  • Walking boots leather or waterproof fabric, broken in and comfortable, yet still with sufficient tread for grip. If you’re buying a pair for this trip, then look at our links page for a supplier. Purchase a pair well in advance of your trip so they are well broken in. If you're coming on a holiday with gentle walks, you can probably get away with good "stout" shoes or walking shoes. Salomon or Karrimor produce good walking shoes.

  • 2 or 3 pairs of walking socks depending on how long you're coming for.

  • Waterproof anorak and trousers these are a ‘must’ for all walks (remember to reproof them!) .

  • Extra fleece or sweater to put on during a stop or when on the north coast of the islands where it is often windy.

  • Trousers loose enough not to restrict your movement, and maybe shorts for hot weather! Do not bring Jeans as they are very stiff and restrictive for walking; they also get heavy if wet.

  • Something thin 2/3 T-shirts

  • Gloves, hat, neck-warmer etc in spring and autumn.

  • Ruck sackto carry spare sweater, waterproofs, packed lunch, water bottle and other bits and pieces.

  • Water flask if possible, or a small plastic water bottle.

  • Suntan lotion can be needed in the islands even in spring

  • Sun hat in summer if you use one.

  • First Aid personal (Tour guide will have one)

  • Large plastic bagto put inside your rucksack to keep the contents completely dry. No rucksack is waterproof (too much stitching!)

Non-essential, but preferably not forgotten

Walking pole which is handy particularly on round the island walks. Slippers are nice on feet in the evening after a good days walk, camera, spare film, binoculars and snack bars.
