Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The lighthouse on Griffith Island is fully automated, and locked. You can walk up to the locked door and back, but that’s about it. Worth going there as part of the walk round Griffith’s island, but not worth a separate trip.

To answer my review's title, I just don't know suffice to say I must do the short walk to reach the light house each time I visit Port Fairy. It must be one of the regions most photographed icons as you see it in shops, market places, artists collections and cafes and I am sure in visitors homes hanging on their walls as it is on mine. It seems to present as a perfect photo opportunity being white with a red door surrounded by charcoal grey rocks and a backdrop of blue sea and sky. This time around I took the time out to relax and sit on the board walk leading up to the lighthouse for lack of a better description and stare out to the sea. This was a very calming experience that I thanked the Lord for the beauty of this world amongst all the doom and gloom.

A great short walk to the light house. Keep an eye out for seals on the rocks .make your walk longer by doing the walk around the island. Not hard and great scenery. Don’t forget the cameras

Griffith island lighthouse was another beautiful structure. From where it stands, there were panoramic views of the ocean and the land. The area was a reserve and breeding grounds for migratory Shearwater or Mutton bird but we were unfortunate to have missed seeing them, most probably because it was mid-afternoon. How ever we saw the Pied Oyster Catcher, Welcome Swallow and Singing Honey Eater very close to the path. It was worth the long walk.

An easy walk to the lighthouse. We crossed many people on their bikes. Perfect place. I am sure that people must swim on sunny days. The water is crystal blue. We saw a sting Ray swimming. Worth stopping to stretch one's legs.

We wanted to walk to the GI lighthouse and were a little disoriented as everything is closer than expected. We eventually saw it and were a little disappointed at how little it is. It was however a lovely walk to get to it.

The lighthouse is only open to the public four times a year. By chance I was there at the right time. The entrance fee $5 for adults, $1 for children and $10 for a family goes to support local rotary projects.

Didn't manage to get to the lighthouse due to time constraint but it was a lovely walk to the Seabird Rookery Area. Saw a couple of wallabies on the way.
