Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the lighthouse tour? Is it cold out on the water?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can get chilly on the water even in warmer months. I'd recommend bringing a light jacket and wearing comfortable shoes since you'll be walking around the lighthouse too. Don't forget sunscreen and a hat if it's sunny!

Q: How long does the whole experience usually take?

A: The tour can last anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on how long you spend sailing and exploring the lighthouse. It's a good idea to plan for at least half a day since there’s so much to see and do!

Q: Is this tour suitable for younger kids? My daughter is 8.

A: Unfortunately, kids need to be at least 10 years old to climb the lighthouse, but they can still enjoy the sail and the stories. It's perfect for a fun family day, just not the tower part for younger kids.
