Kick off the New Year with a climb to the top of the Cape Lookout National Seashore lighthouse on North Carolina's Outer Banks on Tuesday, January 1, 2019. Come experience the view from the gallery of the iconic Cape Lookout Lighthouse while listening to nostalgic stories of the lighthouse keepers, the lighthouse, and the natural barrier island ecosystem during winter.

The program begins on Harkers Island at 9 a.m. under the Harkers Island Visitor Center - ferry dock canopy. Please arrive early to check your party in with park staff. Shortly after the program commences, all participants will travel together on a single ferry that departs at 9:15 a.m., and returns to Harkers Island by 12:15 p.m. 

Children joining the climb must be at least 44 inches tall and must climb the steps on their own. Kids (12 years of age and younger) must be accompanied by an adult (16 or older). Dress accordingly to maritime weather conditions; Closed-toed shoes are required. 

The cost of the program is $28 (price includes ferry fee) and is non-refundable (weather dependent). Make your reservation by calling Island Express Ferry Service at (252) 728-7433, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m.–5 p.m., or anytime on-line at: www.islandexpressferryservice.com.
