Traveler reviews
Great Experience!
The tour inside the lighthouse was great. Our tour guide Lisa was extremely funny and had a great way with words telling us all about the lighthouse and it's history. Very much worth it!
Excellent Hook Head experience.
An excellent experience from start to finish. A fascinating place full of history- our guide John was amazing and very knowledgeable, funny and friendly. The food in the cafe is exceptional and great value for money. Overall I would highly recommended this trip.
Go!
Fascinating look into the operations, past and present, of this historic lighthouse. Our guide was particularly good with engaging the elementary-age children who were on the tour and he volunteered to take pictures a the top. We walked around the grounds and out to the point on the nearby field, too. So worth it!
Lighthouse Guided Tour
My husband and I had a fantastic time touring the lighthouse and learning the history of the building and surrounding area. Our tour guide, John, is an absolutely amazing story teller and the passion he has for his job is obvious. He also inspired us to visit the “Ros Tapestries” while we were in New Ross which was another incredible experience.
Interesting tour and amazing views from the top of lighthouse!
First of all eat at the cafe! Great seafood chowder and lovely views from sitting area. Very interesting tour with a fun, knowledgable guide. He was friendly, funny and included a lot of history on the lighthouse itself as well as other lighthouses around the world. He shared information about the local area and gave ample time to ask questions and answer them. Highly recommended. The view from the top was amazing! Even on a rainy cloudy day!
