5.00Very educational and cool experience! Learnt so much about the history and operations of the historical lighthouse. Highly recommend to anyone who’s visiting Bruny Island! The gravel road drive and windy walk up the lighthouse was definitely worth it.

5.00A very informative lighthouse tour, of the building itself and about the lives of the Keepers and their families. It was a beautiful weather day, so enjoyed our outside balcony experience. There was a small group, so we felt like we had a personalized tour.
A little history and an amazing view.

5.00We had a wonderful experience on our tour. We learnt of many very interesting facts & information about how this lighthouse operated & about other lighthouses in Australia. It was fascinating to learn of the life of the lighthouse keepers & their families in this rugged isolated location. Our guide was very personable and obviously very fit.

5.00Interested in seeing the lighthouse cos I read the book a few years back. Seeing all the crystals which reflect the light was amazing, plus the view from the balcony spectacular. It was also interesting to see where the lighthouse keepers lived whilst on the island plus the weather conditions and remoteness they endured. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly as well. Highly recommend this tour.
Well worth doing

Overpriced

4.00Lighthouse is positioned in a beautiful roughed coastline with great views. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and was great to see the second oldest lighthouse in Australia. Unfortunately l think the price is too much compared to other lighthouse tours we have been on and we had a discount through bookme.
