Amazing views - Gorgeous views from the top of the lighthouse and lots of great information provided by our guides Kiani (sp?) and Riley. We even spotted some whales on the horizon.
Highly recommend it if you are comfortable with climbing narrow steps (with a railing).

Windy And Wonderful - The location of the lighthouse is impressive given its situation in the far south west of Australia. My family and I went on a guided tour of the lighthouse enabling us to go up to the top of it and experience the strong winds we had that day - a light breeze according to Bruce. Bruce was an excellent tour guide and given his name, hat and features, the most wonderful stereotypical Australian an Englishman could ever meet. He was great! The views from the were great as were the stories and information provided. The small museum on site was also well informed. The coffee shop was also good and provided some lovely gluten free cakes. Thoroughly recommended.

Brilliant view, excellent information - Awesome view.
Well, what would you expect from the top of a lighthouse. The view from the top of the oceans meeting, the reefs, the shoreline and the lighthouse buildings was amazing. The ability to walk on the balcony is breathtaking.
Our guide, Garry, was excellent. He is very personable, and very knowledgeable. He is a great character and communicates his love for the location well.
Thoroughly recommend paying to do the lighthouse.

A wild and wooly climb. - I'm so glad we decided to wait around for the fully guided tour and climb of this historic lighthouse. I can now say that I've climbed the tallest lighthouse on mainland Australia. It was such a windy and wet day which just added to the lighthouse's rugged appeal, and made it even more evident why the lighthouse was built in the first place. I would definitely take the time to climb this lighthouse, along with explore the little museum on site too.

Great family experience - The whole family (including 14 & 12 yo) enjoyed this experience. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the view from the top was worth every step. One of the cottages is set up as a museum and it had excellent interactive displays. We spent 1.5 hours here and, all in all, it was well worth the time.
