LIGHTHOUSE SCENIC TOURS

Door County lighthouses, many of which were built in the 1800s, have saved countless lives as they guided ships to safety. While the lighthouses are impressive when seen by land, there’s nothing quite like getting out on the lake to see these icons from the water just as the early ship captains did as they navigated their way to safety. Whether you’re a maritime buff, architecture aficionado, or just on the hunt for vacation photo-ops, all 11 lighthouses are must-see attractions. Many of our tour operators offer lighthouse tours from the water, by land, and even by air. Towering over 300 miles of picturesque shoreline, you will find historic lighthouses standing testament to Door County’s Rich Maritime heritage. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, these landmarks of yesteryear assisted sailors in navigating the lake and bay waters of the Door Peninsula and surrounding Islands. Today, many are still operational and welcome visitors with compelling stories and breathtaking views. Relax and step back in time. Plan your Door County Lighthouse tour today.

Visitors can take advantage of additional access to locations not typically open to the public during the Annual Door County Lighthouse Festival.
