Description

Discover the fascinating history of Hook Lighthouse on Ireland’s scenic Hook Peninsula in County Wexford. This guided tour invites you inside the world’s oldest operational lighthouse, where your expert guide brings to life over 800 years of maritime heritage and the stories of legendary keepers.

Your 45-minute experience begins at the visitor center, where you’ll meet your guide and set off to explore the lighthouse’s ancient stone tower. As you climb the 115 steps, learn about St Dubhan, William Marshall, and the vital role this beacon played in guiding ships to safety.

At the top, step onto the balcony for breathtaking views across Waterford Harbour and the rugged Irish coastline. On clear days, the panorama stretches for miles, while stormy weather offers a dramatic spectacle as waves crash below.

After your tour, take time to browse the gift shop, enjoy local art exhibits, or relax in the café. The tour is conducted in English and is suitable for small groups, with a maximum of five people per booking. Please note, comfortable shoes are recommended for the climb.

Service animals are welcome, and specialized infant seats are available for families. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and a moderate level of fitness is required for the ascent. Secure your spot now and experience a piece of living history—availability is limited, so book today!
