<strong>Trident</strong> <strong>Ferry</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Herm</strong> <strong>Trident</strong> <strong>Ferry</strong> <strong>sails</strong> <strong>daily</strong> <strong>from</strong> the St Peter Port Harbour. It usually leaves<br />

<strong>from</strong> 'Cambridge Steps' but can also depart <strong>from</strong> either the 'Weighbridge' or 'Inter-<br />

<strong>Island</strong> Quay' depending on the height of the tide.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first and last boats always leave <strong>from</strong> Cambridge Steps. You will be told <strong>from</strong><br />

where the boat will depart as you buy your ticket <strong>from</strong> the <strong>Trident</strong> Kiosk located at<br />

the 'Weighbridge'. If you are in any doubt please telephone either the kiosk on<br />

(01481) 721379 or <strong>Herm</strong> <strong>Island</strong> on (01481) 722377.<br />

If you are travelling to <strong>Herm</strong> <strong>Island</strong> on the 08:30 boat please be aware that the <strong>Trident</strong><br />

Kiosk does not open until 09:00. Passengers should go direct to the boat at<br />

Cambridge Steps and buy a ticket <strong>from</strong> the boat crew as you board.<br />

Please note that there are discounted fares available on certain sailings each day.<br />

Parking & Buses<br />

Travelling to <strong>Herm</strong> is easy. Just get into St Peter Port and hop on the <strong>Herm</strong> <strong>Trident</strong><br />

and 20 minutes later you will be in <strong>Herm</strong>.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Harbour area is easily located in St Peter Port and has public parking available<br />

nearby for those with cars. <strong>The</strong>re are also bus stops within easy walking distance.<br />

Alternatively you can take advantage of Guernsey's 'Park & Ride' scheme that<br />

operates <strong>from</strong> Footes Lane.<br />

If you are staying at a hotel on Guernsey then ask reception staff about the easiest way<br />

to get in to St Peter Port. <strong>The</strong>y should be able to advise you on local buses and bus<br />

routes. Alternatively they could contact the bus depot, the Travel <strong>Trident</strong> Kiosk or<br />

<strong>Herm</strong> <strong>Island</strong> for advice.<br />

An alternative to car parks and buses is to use a taxi to take you <strong>from</strong> your<br />

accommodation direct to the <strong>Trident</strong> Kiosk or the boat.<br />

As a final alternative you could get on your bicycle and ride into town. Lock it to the<br />

railings near the <strong>Trident</strong> kiosk and away you go - certainly the cheapest way to travel!<br />

We have included details on the links on the right to help plan your day trip to <strong>Herm</strong><br />

<strong>Island</strong>.<br />

Use the Bus<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a network of buses running all over Guernsey and outside St Peter Port you<br />

are able to 'hail' a bus anywhere providing it is safe to stop.<br />

<strong>The</strong> three bus stops nearest to the Weighbridge are located opposite the Tourist<br />

Offices, at the bottom of 'St Julian's Avenue' or along 'Glategny Esplanade'. When<br />

you are making your return journey ask the driver to drop you as close to the<br />

Weighbridge as possible.<br />

If you have any queries about using Guernsey buses please contact staff at <strong>Island</strong>


Coachways in the kiosk at the St Peter Port bus terminus. You can telephone them on<br />

(01481) 720210.<br />

Ormer Card<br />

All bus journeys cost 60p on Guernsey wherever you want to go and however far. At<br />

the bus terminus you are able to purchase an "Ormer" card that will discount your<br />

ticket price depending on how many you buy at a time. A ten journey card will cost<br />

£4.50 and get your average family into town and back home again without the parking<br />

problems!<br />

'Wave & Save' cards can be purchased <strong>from</strong> the <strong>Island</strong> Coachways' bus information<br />

kiosk at the St Peter Port bus terminus and can be topped up at the kiosk or by your<br />

driver on board the buses.<br />

Car Parking<br />

All public car parking on Guernsey is free. <strong>The</strong> only thing you must remember to do<br />

is set your parking clock! Failure to do so will incur a fine <strong>from</strong> the local traffic<br />

wardens. Parking clocks are usually provided in all hire cars.<br />

You are restricted in how long you are allowed to park, so please pay attention to the<br />

signs indicating the various timed zones.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 10 hours spaces in the North Beach carpark usually fill up fairly early in the<br />

morning but space can be more easily found at the Salerie Corner car park which is<br />

only a short 10 minute walk <strong>from</strong> the weighbridge ticket kiosk.<br />

From May to September there are a limited number of parking spaces available <strong>from</strong><br />

the Travel <strong>Trident</strong> Kiosk which are located on the 'East Arm' of the Harbour area.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se spaces cannot usually be pre-booked and there is a charge, unlike the public car<br />

parks.<br />

Park & Ride<br />

Free parking is available at the Park & Ride Car Park at Footes Lane. From here you<br />

can catch one of at least three buses each hour into the centre of St Peter Port (See<br />

routes 1, 1A and 2).
