Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Get ready for an exciting, athletic half-day journey exploring the island of Sark. After your tender ride from the ship, catch Catch the ferry at St. Peter Port for the 45-minute cruise to Sark. Sark is the smallest of the four main Channel Islands, located about 80 miles south of the English coast. Only three miles long, and a mile-and-a-half wide, the island rises 350 feet above sea level and boasts 40 miles of the most picturesque coastlines anywhere in the world. Sark is the most fascinating of the Channel Islands, free of cars and all the trappings of modern life.

From the jetty, ascend Harbor Hill via tractor bus to the village of La Maseline. Collect your bicycle and set off on your independent tour. The island's routes and byways are well marked; it's hard to get lost. Cycle past Sark's small post office, the prison, a small stone building with just two cells, and the parish church. Continue along the Rue de la Moinerie to a vantage point overlooking Sark's wildflowers, dramatic cliffs and coastline.

Continue on to explore the superb gardens surrounding La Seigneurie, the home of Sark's lord since the 18th century. La Seigneurie was built on the site of the 6th-century monastery of St. Magloire. The present house has been altered and extended over the years with a large Victorian watchtower erected to facilitate signaling between the island and Guernsey. The formal Royal Horticultural Society-recognized gardens are amongst the finest in the Channel Islands.

Enjoy free time to explore the village or browse the shops.

Special Notes:

Participation is very limited; book early to avoid disappointment. This tour normally sells out in advance of the cruise.
Not suitable for wheelchair users, many steps (which are tide dependent) at both harbours - Guernsey and Sark - and a 5 min walk to the tractors on uneven, steep inclines.

Passengers ride at their own risk. An escort is on hand to issue bicycles and receive them on return. Dress appropriately and carry a backpack with some spare clothing in case of wet weather. Lunch is on your own; we suggest you carry GB pounds.
