| A Better Way to See Lighthouses . . . |
|---|
There is no more wonderful experience than accessing, photographing,
and whenever possible, climbing a lighthouse. As you count the steps
to the top, you can picture what it must have been like to live the life of
a lighthouse keeper. With each light station you visit comes a better
understanding of the special circumstances that surrounded keeping
the light burning. You’ll develop an appreciation for each lighthouse and
discover what makes each light special. Lighthouses were built in locations to act as navigational aids,
not for the convenience of the lighthouse lover who wants to visit them.
Many are found in remote locations on both land and at sea or are active
Coast Guard Stations making them inaccessible to the general public.
Another possible limitation to your lighthouse hunting experience occurs
when accessible lighthouses are only open seasonally and for a limited
number of hours. But not to worry, the U.S. Lighthouse Society designs
its tours to overcome all obstacles faced by lighthouse enthusiasts so that
the experience will be an exciting and fulfilling one
. . . simply put, a better way to see lighthouses.
| Our Tour Leaders Make the Trip . . . . |

Handling all the day to day logistics, our tour leaders are knowledgeable and enthusiastic motivators who interact with excitement and inspiration. They are absolutely committed to making sure you enjoy your lighthouse vacation. The U.S. Lighthouse Society takes care of all the logistical headaches so that you are able to focus on your vacation and create special memories that will last a lifetime.
| We Think of Everything . . . . |

U.S. Lighthouse Society Tours are fun, stimulating adventures designed
to captivate our members. Our routes are specifically developed to
maximize not only lighthouse touring, but also to help you gain a
better understanding of the culture and communities in which light-
houses are located. Historic landmarks and other cultural sites, cruises
and museums are often included as part of our itineraries. Additionally,
free time is always provided so you can explore personal interests and
shop!
Our trips include comfortable accommodations, fresh local
cuisine and a variety of thoughtful, fun activities all woven together in
an incredibly rewarding journey. With everything taken care of, all you
need to do is bring your sense of adventure. Our journeys to light-
houses require many creative transportation options including: luxury
coaches, all types of lake and ocean vessels, mini-buses, car caravans,
off road vehicles, and we have even been known to utilize horse drawn
wagons when necessary – we will get you there one way or another!
Keep in mind that when you travel with the U.S. Lighthouse Society,
most everything is included
in the trip price so you
won’t be surprised by
extra costs.
