There are some amazing things to see and do in the island of Jersey. Whether you're on a romantic break with a loved one, or bringing the kids for a family holiday, there's something for everyone. Here's a round up of some of the MUST-DO things to include when planning your trip.

Our first must-do are the **castles**!

Mont Orgueil is an 800 year old medieval fortress which stands guard over the quaint little fishing village of Gorey. Inside you'll find fascinating artwork & exhibitions, knights and princess dress-up, a medieval-themed play area and don't miss the stunning view from the very top.

Elizabeth Castle is built on a rocky islet, just south of the capital, St Helier. Surrounded by sea, it's defended Jersey for over 400 years.⁠ You can walk out to the castle on the causeway at low tide but when it's high you can catch the castle ferry, an amphibious vehicle which drives on the sand then floats once it's in the water. Catch the living history characters' midday parade and watch them fire the canon. Explore the German bunkers added during World War 2.⁠ Climb to the highest point & check out the view of St. Aubin's bay. and visit St. Helier's rock top hermitage.⁠

The next thing you have to do is to see the island from the water on a **boat trip**. Whether that's sailing around the coast exploring secret beaches and caves or visiting the other rocks and islets belonging to Jersey. There's also a high likelihood you'll come across dolphins, seals and other local wildlife while you're out there.

**Jersey Zoo** is world famous for its founder; naturalist and author Gerald Durrell, and the conservation work carried out internationally by the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. There are scheduled keeper talks, play areas and you can also book exclusive behind the scenes experiences. You can even stay overnight at the park in either a 5* glamping pod or the more budget-friendly hostel.

Jersey's famously the sunniest place in the British isles, so if you're looking for a little R&R, you'll find plenty of space on our world class **beaches**. There are way too many beautiful bays to mention here but after this, make sure you watch our video on the 10 best beaches in Jersey!

And while you're at the beach make sure you enjoy our crystal clear waters by checking out some of the **watersports** on offer. Why not take a guided kayaking or coasteering tour?

After all that activity, you'll have worked up an appetite. As a small island surrounded by sea Jersey has some of the best **seafood** available, and it reaches your plate as fresh as can be. Check out some of the locally run seafood restaurants where you'll find oysters, sea bass, crab, scallops and more all caught in Jersey waters - delicious!

The **Botanical Gardens at Samares Manor** are a must see in Jersey. Explore the Herb Garden, Japanese garden, duck pond and stables. If you have children with you they'll enjoy the willow labyrinth, jungle path and play area. Then when you've seen all of that recharge with lunch at the cafe.

Jersey is an island with a rich history and the best place to learn about some of that history is the **Jersey War Tunnels.** It's a German Underground Hospital dug deep into a hillside which has been transformed into a museum, to reveal the true story of life in Jersey during its occupation in World War 2.⁠⁠

If you're travelling with children then **Amaizin Adventure Park** is the must-visit attraction for you! With activities like mini golf, go karts and a jumping pillow outside, a huge soft play inside, a barnyard of animals to get to know as well as the corn maze, you can spend all day here and never get bored!

And finally, while you're here make sure you catch the **sunset** in St Ouen. There are plenty of beach cafes with excellent food along the bay so relax and enjoy uninterrupted sea views as the sun disappears below the horizon.
