Overview
Many English people grew up with the tale of Grace Darling, the young woman who helped her lighthouse keeper father save nine people from a shipwreck in 1838. On this unique tour, you'll join the current lighthouse attendant on a trip to Longstone Island. If conditions permit, there'll be the chance to see inside the lighthouse (donations required): along the way, expect to see gray seals and nesting seabirds.
- Sail to Longstone Lighthouse, where Grace Darling mounted her heroic rescue
- Get insights into lighthouse life from your skipper—the lighthouse attendant
- Opt to see inside the lighthouse (when conditions permit)
- Enjoy views of a gray seal colony and seabirds—including puffins in summer

Weather not great but well worth the money. Lads on the boat did a great job detailing wildlife and attractions. Visit to lighthouse interesting, note that you don't get to go trigger to the top !

Very nice experience, we also were lucky to see the seals 🦭 around Longstone Lighthouse. The good point of the experience is the possibility to spend half an hour on Longstone Island.
