Water sports and leisure activities Channel Islands

If you're stopping off on an island like no other, why not take advantage of Sark's natural beauty? That's what this small but very serious company proposes: to let you discover the island in all its forms, by kayak or, more intensely, via a coasteering session where you jump, climb and set off to discover the island's cliffs. Another original activity is archery, also offered by the agency. It's also the perfect address for planning your walks around the island. For each activity, equipment is provided.

Like any self-respecting island, Jersey has a strong focus on and has developed all kinds of water sports activities. Like in this surf school which has been offering for half a century beginner or advanced courses (with even the possibility to take part in summer surf camps) and board rentals for those who already know how to surf and want to enjoy this well known Jersey spot. Possibility of delivery throughout the island as well. On-site shower, lockers and lockers are available.

Outdoor Guernsey is an excellent agency offering a wide range of activities to get you out and about in the great outdoors: you're in for a sporty vacation, with kayaking, coasteering (a curious mix of sports races with rock-climbing and water-jumping), paddle-boarding, archery and more. There's also an accrobranche course at the Maingys activity center, a pigeon shooting range (made of clay, of course!) in Sark, climbing sessions... Highly professional supervision.

On the beautiful beach of Vazon Bay, surf lessons for beginners and advanced riders follow one another in this small and prestigious school with an excellent reputation. And if you don't need the school's instructors (who are also lifeguards by the way), the Guernsey Surf School also offers simple surf or bodyboard rentals. There is also a store selling t-shirts and sweatshirts which are really nice. It is worth noting that this school also organizes courses during the summer. A good address for the youngest.
