If you’ve never been to Jersey and you love the water, this trip is for you. Your SwimQuest guide works with a fantastic team of locals who help us showcase the island at its very best, from iconic coastal highlights to the hidden gems that many visitors never get to see.

Jersey is an open water swimmer’s dream. Its dramatic tides have carved out a coastline of rugged cliffs, hidden white bays and beautiful sheltered coves. Swims are short and enjoyable rather than gruelling, giving you the freedom to soak up the island’s charm between dips. And if the weather plays ball, we’ll take you across to the stunning Écréhous Islands for a truly unforgettable swim – keep your eyes peeled for dolphins on the way!

Highlights

Jersey's dramatic scenery

Golden bays to hidden coves, the itinerary takes in the island's most spectacular spots including the historic Janvrin's Tomb.

Trip to the Écréhous Islands

A truly standout moment of the weekend is a boat crossing to the remote Écréhous Islands for a dip in wild, open water - with the chance of spotting dolphins.

Relaxation at Hotel Cristina

Stay at the award-winning Hotel Cristina, with panoramic views over the Bay of St. Aubin. A perfect base for exploring both coasts, whatever the weather.

Sunrise swims

There's no better way to earn your breakfast than a dip in the sea as the sun rises over the horizon. In Jersey, the sunrises are particularly special.
