- 5.0 La Coupee (100 reviews)
-Breathtaking views
Geologic Formations
A great if perhaps scary adventure over the roadway. Quite safe but advice is stay in the middle of the road. Wonderful views to Guernsey and France . Well worth the effort to see it. See more..
- 5.0 Sark Boat Trips (87 reviews)
-Not to be missed
Boat Tours • Fishing Charters & Tours
We had booked with Sark Boat Trips for a sea trip around the island and would highly recommend this, not only for the information and banter they provide, but for the views of the island's coastline. It's a superb way of finding out what each bay has to offer and which ones you'd want to visit. The scramble down to some is quite a challenge and maybe not suitable for all. We wish we had done this at the beginning of our stay as it gives a lot of insight and of course views of the island you can only get from the surrounding waters. We were lucky enough to have George and his two sons, Morgan and George on board. The information and stories were so engaging and their knowledge of the coastline and wildlife invaluable. Cannot recommend highly enough, definitely a trip not to be missed. See more..
- 5.0 Bam's Bikes (33 reviews)
-A must when visiting Sark
Monday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Bike Tours • Self-Guided Tours & Rentals
Fantastic service, would highly recommend. From booking process to pick up and drop off, very professional and easy to deal with. Enquiry was dealt with a very fast response time, confirmation sent immediately. On pick up the office is very easy to find, very welcoming guys at the desk and went through the bikes with us and how to use them. Bikes are in excellent condition and great way to see the island. My only downside is as a group Bam Bikes didn't have availability for all the group and we had to spilt and use a second bike rental place. If you have a choice this one is the best to use on the island, we had a few issues with another place. Well done Bam Bikes and wish you every success in the future. Thanks again See more..
- 5.0 Adventure Sark (27 reviews)
-A must do on Sark
Monday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Adrenaline & Extreme Tours • Kayaking & Canoeing
We had a great time kayaking around the beautiful coast of Sark this afternoon. Budgie (the owner) was fantastic, a really nice guy who obviously enjoyed his job a great deal, and made sure we enjoyed our time too. I can't recommend it highly enough! See more..

The beautiful and unspoiled island of Sark lies to the southeast of Guernsey, which features the La Seigneurie, an estate dating back to 1565 that was built on the site of a 6th-century monastery of St. Magloire. The award winning gardens feature one of the best walled Victorian gardens in the Channel Islands. The gardens include 4 acres of varied habitats. There is an on-site Café and Restaurant offering light refreshments, lunches and dinners. The Gardens are open every day of the year from 9am to 1 hour before the last boat. See more..
- 4.5 Sark Carriages (262 reviews)
-Fabulous tour with Michelle
Monday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Horse-Drawn Carriage Tours
We went on this tour with Michelle last Tuesday. She was absolutely brilliant; gave us a running commentary, she was great fun and we learnt so much from her. We stopped at several points and the views were stunning, we also went into the gardens, which were beautiful. She could not have made our trip to Sark any better and would like to pass on our thanks once again. See more..

- 4.5 A to B Cycles (71 reviews)
-Friendly helpful service and great bikes
Monday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Bike Tours • Self-Guided Tours & Rentals
We turned up after being let down by Avenue Cycles (we had pre-booked bikes with child seats). The service was helpful and friendly. We hired 2 adult bikes with child seats and baskets. Initially we had booked bikes for 24 hours and although our bikes were due to be hired out the next day, they let us keep them until the morning. This shop was cheaper too and the bikes better quality. See more..
- 4.5 The Window in the Rock (41 reviews)

- 4.5 Dixcart Bay (25 reviews)

- 4.5 Venus Pool (11 reviews)
-Magical
Bodies of Water
We have been coming to Sark for years and have been here many times. It is quite difficult to find and requires a bit of scrambling to get there. Only accessible at low tides, you follow track past the Sablonnerie and there is a gate where you leave your bike. THere is then a footpath which peters out so flooow the cairns to the top of the cliff then scramble down and to the left to access the pool. It is not easily visible form the top of the cliff. The water is cold but still quite deep, though not as deep as it used to be following a rockfall a few years back. Swim if you are brave rough but be wary when walking across the rocks as they get very slippery. See more..

- 4.0 Mermaid Tavern Sark (36 reviews)
-A very warm welcome and very cold cider (a great combination)
Bars & Clubs
Four of us visited The Mermaid on a couple of occasions last week. We met "security" in the grounds of the pub which amounted to a very docile but friendly dog and his equally friendly owner. The Mermaid is a basic no frills pub, but as visitors we were very warmly welcomed by staff and locals alike. The kitchen is currently being rebuilt, but the bar maid offered us recommendations for food elsewhere which we subsequently took advantage of. The welcome was warm and the cider was cold - what more can you want? See more..
- 4.0 Sark Henge (22 reviews)
-Amazing outlook and a young artefact
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Well we cycled and walked to the henge laid out in 2015! A set of small standing stones on a headland. The holes line up with other landmarks. Worth a visit especially on a clear day. Awesome views. See more..
