- As I recall, Island Packers has a monopoly on travel to the islands.
- There are limits on the number of visitors, and reservations are
- required. But you could call IP for the details.
-
- Although I've never been there, the consensus seems to be that there
- is little of interest on the Channel Islands. The one truly
- interesting thing would be to see the seals that nest on the Islands,
- but I'm not sure whether many seals nest on the public islands and
- whether or not visitors are permitted close to the nesting sites. If
- anyone knows for sure, I'd be interested in hearing.
