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.

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

Beach walks
Beach Walk
Our expert guides will reveal stories of this seascape from when you could have walked to France, the landings by French invaders at La Rocque to the attempts by Jersey people in 1944 to escape German occupation by small boats, and more. 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.
This walk is ideal for participants who prefer a shorter walk to explore the upper shore. The Beach Walk is a great way to discover Europe’s largest rocky intertidal area when the tide is not low enough to explore further offshore.
