Jersey is the perfect island break - somewhere a little way apart, a little bit different, ever so slightly exotic. A self-governing crown dependency with a mix of British and French culture it is situated 100 miles off the English coast but only 16 miles from the French. A place where you can experience the unique character of land, coast, beach and sea, a place where you can relax and just be yourself. Small in square miles but big in places to see, it has a unique character moulded by ice age visitors, occupying forces, different languages and traditions. This holiday includes and orientational island tour to get your bearings, with plenty of time at leisure to make your own discoveries. It is escorted by a Bluebird representative throughout. A passport is not required for this holiday.

Jersey enjoys a mild climate where the Atlantic Ocean dominates the landscape with majestic cliffs, sandy beaches and rocky coves. The tidal range is so great here that the island effectively doubles in size at low-tide - beaches can extend 2 miles out to sea!

The island has a convenient hop-on hop-off bus system that is perfect for independent travel and can be used to reach such venues as the famous Durrell Wildlife Park, Jersey War Tunnels, 5 unique Castles, the Botanic Gardens, La Mare Wine Estate, A Lavender Farm, and many more….. Alternatively you can join a boat cruise to the beautiful French medieval walled town of St Malo (a passport is required to do this!)
