What To Expect

Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse

Your guide will provide you with a fascinating insight into the functions of this working lighthouse. You’ll take a step back in time as you hear tales of ships wrecked off the formidable coastline, and the hardships of life as a lighthouse keeper. Learn about the maritime navigation systems used and the importance of the local ocean currents – which are used by humpback whales during migration and the breeding season. You will discover more about our native flora and fauna, and once at the top balcony be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, Cape Naturaliste, Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park and the beautiful Geographe Bay coastline. Allow extra time after your tour to enjoy the walk around the beautiful heritage precinct. Take in the stunning ocean views from the new observation platform at the base of the lighthouse tower - the perfect place for photographing the magnificent ocean vistas and the surrounding national park.

The experience was very well presented. You don't have to go all the way up to the lighthouse if you don't want to, however it's one of those that will be on your to do list with a tick. It's full of very interesting history.
A great experience and definitely recommended

The tour guide Olivia was fantastic as we are deaf so she took time to write down to communicate and let us read the document. She pointed where it was. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed the tour of the lighthouse and surrounds, Olivia had great stories to tell and was really patient with the kids. The lighthouse isn't very tall so it's not a very big climb (still about 60 steps) which is great if you're travelling with kids. Highly recommend, great value for money!
