Well worth the visit. Very informative and guides were on hand with extra stories/history. Easy and safe to climb. Fascinating that it still is a working lighthouse.

We were lucky to visit on a sunny day. Very knowledgable staff. Awesome 360 degree views (obviously). Good climb up but very doable. Quite a bit of history to read. There were two other platforms that you can walk out to for a view back back to the lighthouse or out to sea. There is also a cafe a couple of minutes walk down the road which had a good selection of meals and snacks

It seems that the Split Point Lighthouse operators do not provide third-party booking sites with current information on cancellations. We arrived with our pre-paid tickets, having driven two hours with our international visitors, to find the Lighthouse fully booked with school groups for the day on which we had booked. I will say that Viator were very prompt in providing a refund - but they can't give back the time, and we missed out on an experience we were all anticipating eagerly. More co-ordination between provider and booking service is required.

It’s not a tour or even a self guided tour as we were given no information to take with us of the history of the lighthouse etc. beautiful location and beautiful views though. If you loved the show, Round the Twist, you’ll get a buzz out of visiting their lighthouse.
