Seabed Walks in Jersey

Jersey is an island shaped by the sea, where things are revealed – to any who choose to look.

Join us on a seabed walk in Jersey. Enter a world where the ocean disappears to the horizon, and we are all visitors.

Explore rock pools, cross sand bars and gullies with experienced local guides.

Revel in a place covered twice a day by some of the highest tides in the world. Here, marine life must survive the extremes of the daily rhythms of the ocean, and the distinction between land and sea is blurred.

Discover Jersey’s very own wilderness with local guides. Derek, Trudie and Sheila have led people amongst the rocks, channels and rockpools for over 19 years. All are Jersey Tour Guide Association/Visit Jersey accredited guides with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Seymour & Icho Tower Walks

Our intertidal walks on the seabed in Jersey to Seymour or Icho Tower are also called “moonwalks”. Though the landscape might look barren, it’s teeming with marine life and has a rich maritime history.

Our walks occur in an internationally recognised Ramsar Wetlands site – a marine version of the Jersey National Park.

“Moonwalks” to Seymour Tower occur at low tide during the day, some at night . Prices from £24 (under 16 years £13) Dates .

Bioluminescence on the Beach Walk

Bioluminescence on the beach

As the ocean recedes on a moonless night, join us in search of tiny creatures which glow and twinkle in the dark like fireflies or glow worms.

We have enabled our guests to discover these rarely-seen marine creatures for over ten years.

£24 (under 16 years £13). Dates

Wild Vegetables of the Ocean. Seaweed Foraging

Bring the sea to your kitchen. Jersey has more than 200 species of seaweed, some tastier than others. All are healthy and great to bake or use as condiments in cooking. £24 (under 16 years £13). Dates

Rock-pool Explorations

Join us on our Rock-pool Exploration to discover the hidden life of rock pools. Accompanied by expert local guides, you’ll discover shellfish, shore crabs, tiny spider crabs, colourful anemones, beautiful starfish, and more!

The 1½-hour walk takes place in the World Wetlands site on the southeast coast of Jersey, where exciting marine discoveries await.

Suitable for families with children and anyone who wants to explore the incredible world of rock pools.

Dates : This walk is arranged on request and adapted to your needs.

£75 for up to four people, and additional participants cost £19 per adult and £10 per child.

Observe amazing marine life and see oyster farmers harvesting delicious Jersey oysters.

Private walks: £96 for up to three people. For four or more participants, add £24 per adult or £13 per child. Contact us to arrange a date.

Explore Jersey with Sue, your Tour Guide

"Let me show you the magic that is the beautiful island of Jersey"

Jersey has something for everyone to enjoy. Sunshine and showers (well here we call it liquid sunshine), history and archaeology, Jersey Royals and our local cider, tracing the footsteps of your ancestors, or just simply the magic that is Jersey. We have beautiful sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, quiet valleys and a busy town centre that still retains the rustic charm, if you know where to look. 

With my tours, you can choose from a range of public guided walking tours and rambles which are one of my popular group options. If you would like your own private tour around Jersey, I can design a bespoke tour for you, which can track your ancestors footsteps or explore the hidden secrets of our beautiful island of Jersey.

As an experienced Tour Guide, I’ve worked hard to make sure my tours are anything but run of the mill. 

If you’re not sure which one to pick, call or email me for advice today.

Just a stone’s throw from Brittany and set between the salty rollers of the English Channel, Jersey is the largest and most oft-visited of the Channel Islands. It comes with a curious fusion of French and English cultures, with plenty of Parisian-style bistros marking the streets of Saint Helier next to hearty English country pubs. Then there are the soaring castles and forts, crowning the cliff tops at Mont Orgueil Castle and Elizabeth Castle; a testimony to this much fought-over crown dependency and its defiance of French power for more than 600 years. 20 th century history is also still raw seeing Jersey’s occupation by the Nazis). Check out the shocking exhibitions at the Jersey War Tunnels, and don’t miss the modern monument on Liberation Square. Jersey tour guides also recommend cliff walks and boat trips, sea kayaking and paddle boarding around the wild and windswept coast, with unspoiled sand stretches beckoning at Bonne Nuit, Portelet Bay and St Brelade’s.
