Tour the Light

2023 Summer Tours

Saturdays – Father’s Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend

DeTour Reef Light Preservation Society will be conducting tours of the DeTour Reef Light on a limited basis in 2023.  Tours are dependent on Keepers being on the Light.

For those people who love to visit lighthouses, a tour of the DeTour Reef Light is indeed an outstanding experience.  It is rare that lighthouse lovers get to visit an offshore lighthouse let alone one that is not on an island but rather is built on a 60’ by 60’ crib sitting about one mile offshore in 24’ of water and is still an active aid to navigation.

In 2003 and 2004, $1.2 million was spent on restoring the DeTour Reef Light to its original 1931 condition, and, in your time spent here, you will get to see it all, and photograph it all, while walking in the footsteps of the original lighthouse keepers.  We hope you enjoy your tour as much we know we will enjoy taking you on this adventure.

Children accompanied by the parents or guardians receive a 50% discount on the cost of the tour.  For detailed information on tour schedules and prices, or how to make a reservation or view our color brochure, click on the links below.
