About Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse
Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse stands sentinel at the tip of the Australian mainland where the Indian and Southern Oceans converge. Built in 1895 and rising 39 meters above sea level, this striking white lighthouse has long guided vessels along treacherous waters and remains a vital working beacon to this day.
Your Guided Tower Experience
Your visit begins at the scenic outcrop of Cape Leeuwin, surrounded by stunning coastal vistas and rugged landscapes. Take in views as you approach the iconic lighthouse, then join your local guide for a fully narrated tour inside the tower. As you ascend the original spiral staircase, your guide shares insights into the lighthouse’s historic role in shipping, dramatic rescue stories and the daily lives of the lighthouse keepers who once called this remote spot home.
Unforgettable Sights from the Top
Reach the balcony at the summit of the lighthouse for breathtaking panoramic views. From this height, gaze across the never-ending ocean horizons and, during whale migration season from May to September, look out for southern right and humpback whales passing by. Your guide will point out landmarks and share the unique ecology and weather patterns that shape the capes and nearby coastline.
Interpretive Centre & Local Stories
Included in your visit is access to the Interpretive Centre, set within one of the original keepers’ cottages. Here you can immerse yourself in interactive displays, discover personal stories from the lighthouse’s history and see artefacts from more than a century of maritime life. Learn about the building’s construction, the families who lived and worked at the cape and significant events that shaped the region’s seafaring past.
Relax & Reflect
After your guided tour, take time to relax at the local Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse Café. Enjoy a coffee or light snack and soak up the tranquility and spectacular ocean views that surround the site.
