History
Currie Lighthouse has served as a coastal navigational aid since the late 1800s and reflects King Island’s long maritime heritage.
Conservation
Small-group sizes and local sourcing reduce footprint; visitors are asked to stay on paths, pack out waste, and respect fragile coastal vegetation.
Dress in windproof layers
Wintry King Island winds bite fast; bring an insulated, windproof outer layer and gloves to stay comfortable at the summit.
Wear sturdy footwear
Paths and the lighthouse steps can be uneven and damp—closed-toe shoes with good grip make the climb easier and safer.
Bring a camera and small tripod
Sunset from the tower is brief; a compact tripod and wide-angle lens capture sweeping ocean panoramas and low light.
Plan your travel logistics
Tours require a minimum of two guests and groups are limited to ten—confirm ferry or flight times to ensure you don’t miss check-in at the King Island Hub.
Insulated windproof jacket
Protects against coastal winds during the lighthouse ascent and at the summit.
