Well worth the money. Views at the top are amazing, loved that it was informative. All the years coming to Augusta and even completing the cape to cape walk ending at this lighthouse it was first time going up. We also loved having a bite to eat prior to doing this tour at the cafe. Highly recommend

Excellent small group tour. Our guide, Jacqueline, was very knowledgeable and patient with all of our questions. It was also nice to be able to schedule our tour time in advance. Definitely worth the price of admission!

Great views

Visited on a bright sunny day with a light breeze. Our guide Sue gave us an excellent tour of the lighthouse - it’s 177 steps up,with great views from the top to where the Southern Ocean and Indian Ocean meet. Beware there can be quite a lot of flies around outside while walking round the grounds of the lighthouse!

Spoiled by strong wind and heavy rain.
