Jersey's Joie de Vivre

Jersey's Joie de Vivre

Blending British and French influences, the largest Channel Island is as intriguing as it is relaxed. From our base in historic St Helier, we’ll discover the island’s best bits and enjoy its laid-back way of life. Highlights of our Jersey holidays include a visit to pretty Bouley Bay, a smuggler’s haven now famous for its motor racing hill climb events, and a cream tea and wine tasting at a local vineyard. On our Jersey holidays, you'll also enjoy a few days at leisure to unwind and explore at your own pace.

Day 1: St Helier

Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Jersey. On arrival, we’ll transfer the short distance to St Helier and our hotel.

Day 2: Bouley Bay - Gorey

Our first stop of the day is Bouley Bay, home of the legendary Black Dog - a myth created by smugglers to keep local folk away from the bay and their clandestine activities. We then continue to Gorey. Its castle was built to protect Jersey against the French in the early 13th century, when King John lost his rule over territories in Normandy.

Day 3: St Helier

On our Jersey short breaks you'll get some leisure time. And today, you’re free to do as you please. There are several worthy gardens and parks to enjoy including the Howard Davis Park and Les Jardins de la Mer, complete with a water maze. Alternatively, a shuttle bus can transport you to the Jersey War Tunnels. Originally intended to be a barracks and ammunition store for the occupying forces during World War II, it is now a thought provoking museum to this dark era.

Day 4: Samarès Manor Botanic Gardens

Our destination today is Samarès Manor and its tranquil botanic gardens. Originally created in the 1920s, today they showcase 14 acres of gardens home to unique plant collections. We'll have time to wander through the Japanese garden, the walled garden with its beehives or the fragrant herb garden. There's also a plant centre, museum, shop and restaurant to fill your time.

Day 5: St Brelade’s Bay - St Mary

We embark on our second full-day exploration of the island. We'll make a stop at St Matthew’s Church, famous for the glasswork on the font, altar and cross, created by René Lalique and thought to be his greatest achievement. We'll also call in at the Eric Young Orchid Foundation before heading for the north coast. The day then includes stops at La Mare Vineyard for a wine tasting and cream tea, Jersey Pearl centre, and Corbiere Lighthouse for a photo stop.

Day 6-7: St Helier

Further time to relax and enjoy this lovely island. Perhaps visit the world-famous Jersey Zoo and Wildlife Conservation Centre.

Day 8: St Helier

Transfer to the airport for the return flight. Upon arrival, your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.
