CORONAVIRUS UPDATE STATEMENT FOR HERM ISLAND GUESTS & VISITORS

Herm Island welcomes bookings from

‘Blue Channel’ UK & Jersey 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, Jersey, IoM and ROI who have been double vaccinated 14 days or more prior to arrival will be able to enter Guernsey and travel without restriction to Herm with NO isolation or testing requirements!

FROM 1ST JULY 2021: If you have had your second vaccination 14 days or more prior to travel, you will be in the “blue channel” travel category with no isolation or testing requirements if you are arriving from the Common Travel Area. If you are not fully vaccinated or have had both doses of vaccination but 14 days have not passed since your second dose, then country and region categories will apply. More info on categories can be found HERE. The Common Travel Area (CTA) includes the UK, the Bailiwick of Guernsey, the Bailiwick of Jersey, the Isle of Man and the Republic of Ireland. Children aged 12-17 are currently required to test on arrival and isolate until their results, and children under 11 are assessed as the same risk as their parent/guardian/carer unless they have their own vaccination status. 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 after July 1st, 2021, you will be contacted by our reservations team to find out if you are eligible to travel to Herm without the need for isolation or testing. Or please feel free to call us on 01481 750000 and one of our team will arrange a booking transfer, credit note or refund if you are unable to travel due to the current restrictions.

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.
