With plenty of free time to enjoy beautiful landscapes, unique towns, sandy beaches and cliffs, this is a holiday you won't ever forget.
This holiday operates under our Optimum Experience brand.
With elegant space-maximising interior design, our Optimum Experience vehicle offers incredible passenger comfort with a selection of fine tours and destinations to choose from. Our Optimum holiday packages include a wide range of excursions, events and admissions, accommodation in a minimum 3* hotel (unless otherwise stated) and, on all our European Holidays, a Skills Representative too! Why not also book our door-to-door service and make your next holiday stress-free?
After our departure, we travel south to Poole. Upon arrival, sit back as we journey via ferry to Guernsey, the second-largest island in the Channel Islands. Upon arrival, we'll meet our local guide and be transferred to our hotel, where we'll enjoy a three-night stay.
Welcomed by a local guide and coach, you'll be whisked away for a half-day tour of idyllic Guernsey. With live commentary and leisurely stops along the way, this is a great way to get your bearings whilst learning more about the island. In the afternoon, we visit neighbouring Herm, a tiny island steeped in glorious history and located just a twenty-minute boat journey away, yet feeling worlds apart. Why not enjoy a leisurely walk around its scenic coastal path? Remember to keep your eyes open throughout your crossings today, and you may be lucky enough to spot dolphins that love to play as the boats go by!
Home to stunning beaches, rugged cliffs and the lively, compact capital of St Peter Port, enjoy free time exploring Guernsey at your own pace today. Otherwise, why not join us on our optional excursion to the stunning island of Sark? Considered the crown jewel of the Channel Islands, our tour includes a horse-drawn carriage ride to explore the island's unspoilt landscape and charming car-free roads.<br />
After checking out of our hotel, we sail across to Jersey for the second half of our holiday. Here, we meet our next local guide and will enjoy another three-night stay.<br />
To help you discover the best of Jersey, we have arranged for a local guide and coach to pick you up from the hotel and take you on a fascinating full-day tour of the island! Lap up the stunning scenery and superb beaches while visiting St Aubin's Bay, St Brelade Bay, Corbière Lighthouse, St Ouen's Bay, and Gorey Harbour. Then, we return via the rugged east coast to our hotel.<br />
Feel free to explore St Helier, Jersey's capital, at your leisure today. A haven for historians and beach lovers alike, there's something for everyone, from magnificent castles and museums to fascinating wildlife. Some key sights include Sir Walter Raleigh's Elizabeth Castle and the thought-provoking Jersey War Tunnels, a former underground base from World War Two.<br />
We retrace our footsteps by ferry crossing to Poole, where we enjoy an overnight stay.<br />
After breakfast, we return home.<br />
