This was a great experience! I had no idea there were not one, but two lighthouses you could visit here in Norwalk! The tour of the harbor out to Green’s Ledge Lighthouse was very informative and the guide, Nacho, had a lot of great information and was quite funny. Captain Al was also very professional and made the trip smooth and relaxing. The Green’s Ledge team was also great! Their commitment to the lighthouse and their community is heartwarming, it’s great to see a dedicated family involved in the project. Our time at Sheffield Island was also pleasant. Nacho was well informed about the lighthouse's history during our tour of the old lighthouse and the other guide, Lorena, was very kind in bringing us up to the top of the lighthouse (the view was incredible). Both guides were very helpful and professional. I'd definitely recommend others to take the tour out to Green’s Ledge Lighthouse and Sheffield Island Lighthouse, it’s a hidden gem here in Norwalk. I will definitely be returning for a Clambake next season .

This was so much fun! The ferry ride/tour to the island was fun and informative. The island and lighthouse also. The only mistake I made was booking without any research bc otherwise I would have packed a cooler and blanket to picnic. Crew on the boat was awesome.

My wife and I enjoyed our trip to Sheffield Island. The captain and crew were very friendly and informative. We learned a lot about the history of Norwalk, the boating and oyster industry, the many islands, and the lighthouse. Although the hiking trails were closed because of a problem with ticks, we were able to walk along the shoreline and saw many shore birds, including ospreys.

We had an absolutely wonderful time going in the Sheffield Island cruise. The staff were so welcoming and knowledgeable. The information they shared throughout the boat ride was very interesting. Once on the island, we had a great time walking the water and collecting shells. We also did a tour of the light house which was cool. There is an area to have a picnic lunch which was nice. Overall definitely worth going. I highly recommend this tour. I know we will for sure be doing it again!
