Plan ahead and make a day of it. Our Historic Davidson Whaling Station tour runs on the same days, in the afternoon.

First lit in 1883, Green Cape Lighthouse is the southernmost and second tallest lighthouse in NSW. Led by an NPWS guide, you'll discover the unique architecture and fascinating history of the lighthouse. Uncover what life was like for lighthouse keepers living in this remote stretch of coast with their families.

Climb the 116 stairs of the lighthouse for spectacular panoramic views over Disaster Bay and the rugged coastline.

October is the height of the whale migration and Green Cape is the ideal vantage point to spot them. Whales are often seen very close to Green Cape, offering stunning displays of power and agility as they pass. Our guide will have powerful binoculars on hand, and all the whale facts and knowledge you'll need to make this whale watching experience the highlight of your holidays.
