During the summer, the Isle au Haut Boat Services mail boat runs right by the lighthouse several times a day on its way to Duck Harbor in Acadia National Park providing great photo ops. Contact the boat company for seasonal schedules.

Special cruises for lighthouse lovers pass by the lighthouse annually. Contact Isle au Haut Boat Services for a schedule. Deer Isle Cabin and Boat tours, and others in Stonington and Deer Isle may also be providing tours..

Normally, the Friends of the Lighthouse provides a number of its own docent guided tours inside the lighthouse and around the station.  Occasional special events also happen.  But this year, the restoration will not allow this to happen.  But next year, the season will be back on track.
