VIP TICKETS
VIP Tickets will include your lantern kit, free-flowing drinks and canapes hosted by Chef Derek Lau as well as comfortable seating as you relax, listen to music and watch the sunset before and after sending your floating lantern message out to sea.
Decorate your lantern at home or on the day at Gantheaume Point.
Lanterns will set sail at sunset and we encourage you to bring your swimming gear as there’s a possibility of getting a bit wet when launching your lanterns into the water.
Make a lovely evening of it and bring a picnic or take advantage of our VIP tickets to make this sunset experience even more memorable.
