2025 Showings

Please note: In order to put on a show at Bannerman Island, we need to have 2 boat loads of 44 people.

Example: If you are on the first boat for the show at 6:30 pm, when you get to Bannerman Island, you will receive a guided tour of the island before the show. When the show is over, you will return to Beacon after the show is finished.

If you are on the second boat departing to Bannerman Island at 7:30 pm, you will be escorted to your seats for the show. After the show is over, you will be given a lecture of Bannerman Island, while you wait for the boat to return to pick you up. It takes about 50 minutes. We thank you for your cooperation.

Please note: Check your tour time on your confirmation because the departure times will change at the end of August.
