Overview

Join us for our Halloween Special, where our classic Lowestoft Harbour Tour takes a spine-chilling turn.

Step back in time to October 1882, when wooden-hulled vessels, powered by sails and oars, ruled the seas. As we venture deeper into the shadowy depths of Lowestoft’s Docks, you’ll feel the tension in the air—a great storm is approaching, one that would become infamous as one of the most devastating ever to strike our coast.

In the eerie calm before the storm, we’ll explore the Ship Graveyard of Lake Lothing, unearth chilling tales of shipwrecks, and delve into the ghostly secrets of Lowestoft’s Docks in 1882. This is a ghost tour unlike any other, where history and hauntings intertwine!
