Update (2:03pm, 14 May): 2 June is now sold out.

With "exquisite coastlines, beautiful harbours and forgotten, shaded lanes” (Lonely Planet online), the Channel Islands make for an unusually exotic destination within the British Isles. Travelzoo subscribers can now set sail with Condor Ferries on a day trip to either Guernsey or Jersey for £15, shaving 50% off the usual price.

Depart from Poole to Guernsey and Jersey until 30 June. Guernsey sailings are every day, except Tuesdays in May, and sailings to Jersey depart on 11-14, 18-21, 26-28, 31 May; 2-4, 9, 10, 13-18, 25, 30 June. There are up to three trips per day.

It takes approximately three hours to sail from Poole to Guernsey and just over four hours to travel to Jersey. With these trips, passengers can stay on their chosen island for up to eight hours.

In Guernsey, the ferry will dock in St Peter Port, a harbour town with bistros, restaurants and boutiques. You will also find scenic harbours, open countryside and sandy beaches on Guernsey to explore. Alternatively, travel to St Helier in Jersey and make the most of the seafood restaurants. Or get a thrill on a jet ski or at the tax-free shops.

Not available for early morning trips that leave before 5:30am.
