Published on May, 2025

Our tour guide Lisa was fantastic. A wealth of knowledge, very engaging with everyone and good fun. Hook Lighthouse is an amazing structure, the history behind how it was built and how it was operated through the years would blow your mind. Hook Lighthouse is very special, especially to Wexicans. We have done the tour a few times and eveach time you take away something new. A great day out for everyone.

Hook Lighthouse guided tour

Published on Apr, 2025

Hook Lighthouse is a must see on your tour of Ireland. The guided tour was amazing and explained the history of both the lighthouse (how and when it was constructed etc) and the people who manned it from as far back as records could determine. The history of the pioneers who settled the area and how it even came to be were all part of the information shared with visitors. And the views are absolutely unparalleled. Well worth adding to your itinerary.
