Hook Lighthouse
Dave, your skipper will take you on a boat trip found nowhere else in this world!
See the worlds oldest operational lighthouse - Hook - from the sea. The lighthouse has been standing for 800 years, build by one of the Knights of the Templar.
Visit the 40 steps sea cave - where ancient people left the
bones of their dead for their passage to the other world by water.
Captain Dave will tell you stories of smugglers and pirates, and you may see a Dolphin or two on your trip if you keep your eyes peeled.
The trip is rounded off with some high speed manoeuvres, so keep your hats on!
