It may still have the perception of a quiet, tranquil island catering for an older, genteel market (and that much is still true) but there is another side to Guernsey.

Those looking for adrenaline fuelled short breaks are already familiar with coasteering the dramatic coastline, challenging cliff top walks and kayaking and surfing on the clear waters.

But now Outdoor Guernsey, one of the leading on island activity companies is launching jet ski safaris. The safaris will launch in June and will be available daily with departures from St Sampson's on the north east of the island.

Working closely with www.wisescheme.org to ensure minimal impact to Guernsey's important marine wildlife the tours will offer a unique, heart pounding way of seeing the stunning coastline of Guernsey from the sea.

The tours will last two hours and will cost from £70 per person. Tours can be booked individually or in groups of up to six people; ideal for company inventive days, adventurous stag / hen parties and families looking for adrenalin filled activities. The tours are guided by trained professionals from the Outdoor Guernsey team. To book visit www.outdoorguernsey.co.uk / 01481 267 627
