Well worth the guided tour of the lighthouse - lots of history and great views.

Our tour guide, Matt, was excellent. He met us at the door and from that moment on he entertained us with stories tailored to our interests and questions. He was flexible about the time we spent in different parts of the lighthouse and helped us understand its construction and history along the way. He has an immense amount of knowledge of the lighthouse and the surrounding area and clearly loves his job. The views from the top were incredible even though it was a dull weather day. I would recommend this tour and also that you make sure you get there early. It takes longer to drive the distance on the unsealed road than you think and then there was a slope/climb to get from the car park to the lighthouse. You don’t want to be late and running up the hill (which we were)!

Loved it! Do the tour if you can.

Matt was a great guide. We learnt so much about Tasmania’s maritime history. The lighthouse itself was extremely interesting and the view from the gallery was amazing.

Very educational and cool...

Very 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.

A wonderful morning at Cape Bruny Lighthouse

An excellent and informative tour with our very knowledgeable guide. He was able to answer all my husband’s engineering type questions! Beautiful views over South Bruny Island and surrounding seas. It also helped that it was an absolutely stunning day! Thoroughly recommend the tour.
