CORONAVIRUS UPDATE STATEMENT FOR HERM ISLAND GUESTS & VISITORS
Herm Island welcomes ‘Blue Channel’ guests
Reservation enquiries - T: 01481 750000, E: [email protected] or BOOK ONLINE: www.herm.com
We are delighted to confirm that all adult guests from the UK, Ireland and Isle of Man who have been double vaccinated 14 days or more prior to arrival will be able to enter Guernsey and travel onwards to Herm if they create a Travel Tracker account and register their journey.
At this stage, arrivals from Jersey will require a negative PCR test within the 48-hour period before travel and the States of Guernsey Civil Contingencies Authority strongly recommends all Common Travel Area (CTA) visitors arrange to take a pre-travel test (either PCR or lateral flow) to protect themselves and their families from the costs and difficulties they may experience if they subsequently test positive after arriving in the Bailiwick.
From 3rd August, all incoming visitors will also be required to purchase a pack of five lateral flow tests when registering their journey on the Travel Tracker which they will receive on arrival in Guernsey. Further information and details at the following links:
Bailiwick of Guernsey Travel Tracker Account Lateral Flow Tests
If travelling into the Bailiwick from anywhere outside the CTA, the current country category isolation and testing requirements apply. If you have been outside the CTA in the 14 days before you arrive in the Bailiwick, then the country category applies regardless of your vaccination status.
These restrictions are being reviewed by the States of Guernsey Civil Contingencies Authority EVERY TWO WEEKS, so please refer to the SoG website for more details and updates and to create a Travel Tracker account which must be completed within 2 days of your journey.
If you already have a booking to stay in Herm, please contact our reservations team to confirm that you are eligible to travel t: 01481 750000 e: [email protected]. If you are unable to travel due to current restrictions, our team will arrange a booking transfer, credit note or refund.
All Herm gift vouchers, and Black Friday vouchers purchased by non-Bailiwick guests AFTER April 2019 will have validity dates extended until one year after Herm’s borders are fully open to all.
Thank you, as ever, for your ongoing support. We hope all our friends and visitors stay well and safe and look forward to welcoming you back as soon as we possibly can.
