Have you ever, ever felt like this?
Get high on our loftiest tour: King Island Walks offers you exclusive access to climb the 93-step spiral staircase inside Currie Lighthouse. Though it has a long and rich history, Currie Lighthouse is much more than a historical relic: it’s still functional today, lighting the way for ships passing through the seas of the Bass Strait. Together with Cape Wickham lighthouse, it stands sentinel over the treacherous sea passage to the north known as the Eye of the Needle.
Epic Views
The panoramic views from the top make this lighthouse trip a tour to remember. Currie Lighthouse offers you a whole new perspective on King Island—and wait until you see your first glorious sunset from your vantage point in the sky. You’ll go ‘round the twist!
Pack your camera, your sense of adventure, and covered shoes: we want you to enjoy your lighthouse trip, not trip in a lighthouse.
Dramatic History
Bring your curiosity, too: your lighthouse tour guide is well-versed in gothic King Island history. Think shipwrecks and salvage, sealers and skeletons, sole survivors and swift sea rescues. King Island history encompasses a staggering number of shipwrecks, including Australia’s worst maritime disaster.
When you’re done with your lighthouse tour, take a deeper dive into these historical tales of survival and heroism with a stroll through the old Lighthouse Keeper’s quarters, now home to the King Island History Museum.
