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.

Enjoyed this lighthouse tour, the kids loved it too because it is not that high to climb and would recommend it to families with little children as it is not exhausting. Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable and funny, throwing in some questions and quizzes for the kids who were in this tour which made it more exciting. He explained a few things about the area when and how it was built etc.
Great little 30 minute experiences with some whale watching thrown in. Fantastic guides with great stories.

Nice view, but not a very big lighthouse, and not a lot of information given on the tour. Basically a few minutes to walk up and then just look at the view with a few things said by the guide. The museum was interesting though.
The experience was very...

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.
Well worth the visit!

The lighthouse is a truly scientific specimen and located at a very scenic place. Be mindful, it is one of the windiest places o

What a brilliant experience! From the moment we arrived, the views from the lighthouse were simply amazing! The museum was surprisingly informative, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history and workings of the lighthouse. However, the highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the lighthouse tour itself. It was a truly brilliant experience, and our guide, Jodi, made it extra special. Jodi was fantastic – so friendly and approachable, and her knowledge was truly impressive. She answered all our questions with enthusiasm and made the whole tour engaging and enjoyable. We spent a wonderful couple of hours here and honestly can't recommend this lighthouse and museum visit enough. If you're in the area, it's a must-do value for money visit.
A lighthouse worth visiting in Margaret River area.

We visited the lighthouse when we were in Margaret River. The museum, though small, was informative. The video show presented the story of a rescue by the lighthouse. It's a nice place to visit. The unfortunate thing is that we could not join the tour as we have to wait for 1.5 hours.
Highly recommend guided tour

This was a really great tour, which included entry to the museum and then a 30 minute guided tour up to and inside the lighthouse. Our tour guide was Nathan, who was really great!
