About this event

Embark on our Spurn Safari and let the rugged beauty of the Spurn Peninsula unfold before you, as you journey aboard the ex-military Unimog. The first stop on your three-hour Safari includes a climb to the top of northern England’s tallest lighthouse, where panoramic views of sea and sky will leave you breathless. As you continue through the untamed landscape, your guide will share stories of the peninsula’s rich military and maritime past, bringing its secrets to life. This tour is a chance to explore the unique character of Spurn, where nature and history come together in one unforgettable experience.
