Jersey Holidays Guide
If you want to stay in the UK but still feel like you're heading abroad, holidays to Jersey can offer a little bit for everyone. From eating fish 'n' chips by the marina in St Aubin, to meeting the flamingos at the zoo, like the other Channel Islands, it's one of the UK's great holiday destinations for unwinding, getting back to nature and reawaken yourself so that you can return to normal life feeling human again.
One night breaks start from less than £100 per person including flights, although ferry is a great way to get to Jersey if you are travelling by car. And with so many different types of accommodation to choose, from camping and glamping to five-star luxury hotels, there's something to suit all budgets. Staying a few nights, if not a week is a good length of time to spend here, giving you time to explore the history, taking the fresh air and relax a little.
Getting to, from and around Jersey
Jersey is just a short trip across the channel, making it easy to get to, yet still feel like you're going abroad.
By Air
There are flights from across the UK including Glasgow, Liverpool and London Gatwick with British Airways, easyJet, Jet2 and Blue Islands. The airport is located over on the west coast close to Les Mielles Nature Reserve. A taxi from the airport into St Helier will cost no more than £20 each way.
By Ferry
The alternative is to book onto a ferry from Poole or Portsmouth over to St. Helier, the main town on the island. With Condor Ferries from Poole, the high speed ferry will take around 4 hours 30 minutes while the traditional cheaper ferry takes just over 10 hours. The main ferry harbour is located in St Helier where ferries also come in from northern France.
By Coach (And Ferry)
If you like it all done for you, travelling by coach is another great way, allowing you to jump onboard and have someone else drive you there and show you the sights. You can also join one of the numerous organised tours on the island to help you see more while you're visiting.
Getting Around
Once you've arrived, hiring a car is a great way to enjoy the freedom of discovering the island at your own pace, especially if you want to uncover some of the hidden gms here. LibertyBus is the bus service on the island and provides public transport from the capital to all corners of the island including St Brelade's Bay, Greve de Lecq and Gorey Pier. Depending on the route, buses can start from 6am and run through until midnight, but you should check in advance what times the first and last buses are.
Walking and cycling are also wonderful ways to explore the island. The tourist board, Visit Jersey, has created some really handy, downloadable maps of walking and cycle routes around the island, with lots of beautiful coastal routes to try out, allowing you to discover hidden coves like Bouley Bay, and attractions like Mont Orgueil Castle.
