Excursion Guernsey by bike tour at Saint Peter Port

Enjoy a two-hour tour through Guernsey by bicycle, arguably one of the best ways to get around in this tiny, charming place. Your cycle guide meets you at St. Peter Port harbor for you to transfer to the west coast bay of L'Eree, where the cycle tour starts.

Bike Ride

Your route goes from Perelle through the legendary folklore area of the Catioroc, rich in tales of witches and fairies and past ancient burial chambers such as the Trepied Dolmen. Cycle through the internationally protected area of the Shingle banks, Lihou Island and the Colin Best nature reserve before reaching the magnificent beaches of L'Eree bay. This route takes us past the fine sandy beach normally only frequented by the locals. There is the chance to stop and explore the numerous bunkers built during the Second World War when the Islands became the only part of the British Isles occupied by German forces.

Rocquaine Seafront

Next, cycle along the quiet seafront at Rocquaine with views out to the Hanois lighthouse, Guernsey's sentinel, guarding the Hanois reef that has claimed countless ships passing the West Coast. Fort Grey, or the "cup and saucer" as locals have named it, marks the start of Rocquainne bay in Torteval where you may hear the local language of Guernesaise spoken as the fisherman land their catches at the beautiful working harbor of Portelet.

Refreshments

After a refreshment stop, head inland as the group works its way back through the "Ruette tranquilles," tiny lanes where horses and bicycles take priority over motor traffic. Wind your way past meadows full of wildflowers and quaint cottages that dot the country lanes.

Take the peace quiet with you from the end of your tour at Perelle as you return to the port via coach.
