Cape Bruny Lighthouse Tours 

Southernmost Lighthouse Tour in Australia. Local business and guides.

The heritage-listed Cape Bruny Lighthouse is the only Southern Tasmanian Lighthouse open for Tours… The historic 1836 Lighthouse towers 114m above dramatic cliff tops and coves that form the rugged Tasmanian coastline of Cape Bruny.

Climb the original wrought iron spiral staircase to the top of the tower and step out onto the balcony to take in the breathtaking views of the sweeping southern ocean to the wild Tasman Sea, South East Cape, Whale Head, and the small islands dotting the coastline… Experience the extraordinary & vast scenery for amazing photo opportunities at every point of the compass – with albatross, gannets, and many other pelagic seabirds gliding over the relentless ocean swells… observe migrating whales, short-tailed shearwaters, and wedge Tailed Eagles swooping close to the tower.

The superbly engineered lighthouse prism remains in working order and unique to see close up… learn about this early iconic navigational landmark, how it was built by convicts, and how life was for a lighthouse keeper in this far south corner of our world.

Company Director Craig Parsey grew up on many Lighthouse Stations around Tasmania with his family in a time when Lightkeepers were Lightkeepers, including the Cape Bruny Light Station, Maatsuyker Island, Eddystone Point, and Low Head. We now also operate the Table Cape Lighthouse and Tours.
