King’s Birthday Long weekend tours of Cape Schanck Lighthouse will be running on Saturday 8, Sunday 9 and Monday 10 June 2024.

An icon of the Mornington Peninsula the historic 1859, 21 metre high Cape Schanck Lighthouse is still operating with its original Chance Brothers First Order lens and is considered to be the most authentic lighthouse in Australia.

Lighthouse climb tours will run on Saturday 8, Sunday 9 and Monday 10 June 2024 on the hour with the first tour at 11am and the last tour at 4pm each day. Maximum 10 Adults per tour. Regrettably the Lighthouse Tower Climb tours are not suitable for wheelchairs or pushers. There are 59 stairs up to the lamp room.

The experienced licensed tour guides from the Lady of History take you inside the tower and you climb up to the lantern room where you will learn about the history and how the lighthouse still operates to this day, and you will feel the wind and see the spectacular view into Bass Strait from the lighthouse balcony (weather permitting). A great photo opportunity!

There is also plenty to see inside the Cape Schanck Lighthouse Reserve with the Kiosk, Museum displays and history talks, walk up to the lookouts or explore around the Lighthouse keeper’s Quarters. And don’t forget to watch for whales!
