Explore Ledge Light - Boat Trip & Tour inside the lighthouse
Come, visit inside Ledge Lighthouse.
Take a short boat ride out to the lighthouse, then climb up to the lantern room in the middle of New London Harbor.
- This year we're leasing the water taxi, so trips will leave from City Pier in downtown New London -- right behind the train station!
- Please arrive 15 minutes early for orientation. Everyone must sign a waiver of liability before boarding.
- Trips are 90-minutes long: 15 minutes out, one hour on the light, and 15 minutes back.
- Trips are timed to run at high tide and also are weather-dependent. Be certain to check your email prior to the trip for any last-minute changes or cancellations.
- Landing at Ledge Light demands some physical dexterity.
- You don't have to be a Ninja, but you will have to balance on the edge of a boat and climb directly up a ladder to reach the platform.
- All passengers are required to wear a life jacket (provided) while in transit, and also must wear appropriate footware: deck shoes or sneakers (no sandals or flip flops.
- Tickets are limited, so reserve your seats today.
Thanks to a Veolia/NL Water Authority grant, if you live in New London or Groton you may visit for just $5! (Be prepared to show a letter with your name & New London address.)
