Minquiers Sandbank RIB Voyage

with Island RIB Voyages

Minquiers Sandbar

Join us on this RIB voyage to one of wonders of the natural world, at Les Minquiers; home to breathtaking scenery, including its infamous reef at over 300 km2 (larger than most British cities), which boasts hundreds of granite fangs, wildlife, geology and archaeology - more spectacular than anywhere else in Europe. Departure locations can be either St. Helier or St. Catherine.

At high water (around 12 metres!), the stunning surroundings of the island are submerged except the charming Maitre Ile, with stone cottages and no permanent inhabitants. Minquiers is the perfect getaway for peace and tranquility.

Let's us take you on a voyage and spend approximately 1.30 to 1:45 hours on a sandy beach that is only accessible during certain states of the tide. Marvel at the crystal clear water of the reef and you may even feel tempted to go in for a dip - Bring a picnic, enjoy the sand, sea and tranquility of the Minquiers.

This trip no longer goes to Maitre Ile to protect the many migratory birds that use the island during the nesting season and all RIB trips are based on the tides to maximise your time on the sandbar.
