  Visited on a beautiful autumnal day. The standard of visitor information and the knowledge of the guides is first class . The firing of the musket and cannon was a treat with a funny and educational commentary by the guide. The castle is full of interesting nooks and crannies. The newly refurbished hospital building is fantastic. The views are spectacular in all directions.

  Took the ferry over - and experience in itself - before exploring the castle Excellent introduction from a guide then went off to the Parade Ground to meet Sir Walter. Highlight of the day - entertaining and informative.

  This was such a fantastic place. Really good going across at high tide in the amphibious vehicle. Fantastic views from the top of the tower. The musket and cannon demonstration were exceptional. Didn't know what to expect , but was not disappointed. Great fun, you should join in if you are able. The acting and knowledge and interaction really made this a special visit.

• A great day trip

  A great day. We visited as a family of 4. Lots to see and the kids had a great time with Lots of nooks to investigate. Would recommend. We walked instead pf the bis/ferry trip as we were lucky with the low tide and I think this added to the experience walking the causeway. There was a demonstration of the canon being fired.... was a great experience. And the cafe was great with beautiful food and drink.

• By far exceeded our expectations.

  Absolutely great time at Elizabeth Castle. Beautiful weather, though at one stage slightly windy, but well protected within the castle itself. We took the Dukw both to and from the castle. Going we were more on land than in the water (3 foot depth approx) as the tide was coming in. The return journey was better though as we were afloat. The whole experience of Elizabeth Castle was magical. We had the Sir Walter Raleigh tour. You couldn't ask for a better person to show use through the castle. Full of wit, charm, humour and factual details, so many historical details. He was an experience to behold. Ensuring that the audience took part also. He had great patience for someone like myself, who is very slow moving and runs out of energy very quickly, due to medical issues. We would strongly recommend you pay a visit to Elizabeth Castle should you go to Jersey. The visit can last has long as you wish, a few hours or all day. We spent all day, time just flies past. There is a cafe at the castle should you feel peckish or thirst, prices are very reasonable.

  Elizabeth Castle was fascinating and Sir Walter Raleigh brought the Castle and Elizabethan history to life. Given me the inspiration to research further.

  Elizabeth Castle was a wonderful place to visit. Sir Walter Raleigh brought the castle to life with such enthusiasm. He was charming and full of fun.

  We took the amphibious bus over to the castle while the tide was in, (we used it on the way back too but could have walked the causeway). On arrival you get a briefing and we were told there was a free Sir Walter Raleigh talk. We would normally give these a miss, but our granddaughter was keen and were glad that we followed her lead. He was very funny, especially if you like over the top acting with a touch of python! It really enhanced the tour. A great trip.

• Great journey on the ‘duck’ entertaining Militia talk with cannon & musket firing

  Enjoyable trip to the castle. Had to get the ‘duck’ over & back due to tide times. That was a great start to the day. Lots to explore, it was a shame the breakwater wasn’t open as that looked interesting - apparently reopening in September 2025 but obviously not the 1st when we went! Saw the musket being fired multiple times and the cannon being fired by the highly entertaining Jersey Militia man who made lively banter with his recruits! We didn’t do the tour but there’s lots of boards up explaining things & my teenage boy worked lots of the military stuff out. He enjoyed it much more than Mont Orgeuil but I think the starting of going on the amphibious vehicle helped get the day off to a good start.

  Very nice to do! On the way out with an amphibious vehicle and walked back quietly. Had a fantastic tour of Sir Walter Raleigh himself! A tour full of historical details and lots of humor!
