Booking FAQs

Sunrise visits provide a magical atmosphere with stunning views. Guided tours are available in multiple languages and last about 2 hours.

The entire experience typically lasts around 3-4 hours, including travel time to and from the lighthouse. The tour includes a scenic boat ride, guided walking tours of the wreck site, and a delicious lunch with panoramic views at the lighthouse.

Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and comfortable walking shoes. A camera is essential for capturing the stunning scenery and marine life. Water bottles are recommended as it can get hot during the day. Snacks or extra food may be useful if you have dietary restrictions.

Families with children aged 5 and above enjoy this experience. The tour includes informative sessions on marine life, snorkeling equipment provided, and a menu suitable for kids. However, the boat ride might be bumpy so consider if your child is comfortable with water travel.
