Itinerary

Experience the beauty of the West Coast on a Pinnacles Day Tour, where you can explore stunning natural regions and witness wildlife in the native wonderland of the Pinnacles.

 

Take a day’s break from urban living and explore Western Australia’s top natural attractions.

 

After 1.5 hours from Perth, we stop at Lancelin’s lookout. It has the largest network of dunes in Western Australia. The white dunes create a contrasting backdrop to the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean in the distance. Before visiting Nilgen Nature Reserve, please remove any sand from your shoes. The region is abundant with flora and fauna. Wildflowers like banksias, bottlebrushes, heath, grass trees, and kangaroo paws will be seen. If the flowers are hiding, we’ll go to Hangover Bay. You can relax in the clear waters or spot dolphins and sea lions.

 

Visitors can journey to Nambung National Park to witness the remarkable Pinnacles desert at sunset. The Pinnacles are composed of shells and have existed for millions of years, originating from when the land was submerged under the sea. It is best explored at dusk when the crowds disperse and the thousands of limestone pillars rise eerily out of the desert. Watch the colours change over the rocks, creating a lunar-like atmosphere.

 

Experience a picnic dinner with a glass of local wine (all included) while enjoying a stunning light show of natural wonders beneath the night sky. As night falls, take in the extraordinary beauty of the stars and planets swirling high above. Listen as ancient stories of the Aboriginal Dreamtime are shared, and gaze into the vast distances of light-years away.
