Itinerary

Experience the beauty of the West Coast’s natural regions on a Pinnacles Day Tour, where you’ll have the opportunity to witness breathtaking twilight and encounter native wildlife in the stunning wonderland of the Pinnacles.

Escape the hustle and bustle of city life for a day to explore Western Australia’s stunning natural wonders.

After 1.5 hours from Perth, we stop at Lancelin’s lookout. It has the largest network of dunes in Western Australia. The snow-white dunes contrast with the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Shake the sand out of your shoes. Then we’ll go to Nilgen Nature Reserve. It’s abundant with flora and fauna. We’ll see wildflowers like banksias, bottlebrushes, and kangaroo paws. If the flowers are hiding, we’ll go to Hangover Bay. There you can dip your toes in the clear waters or spot dolphins and sea lions.

Visitors can explore the Nambung National Park at dusk to witness the Pinnacles desert, a remarkable formation made of shells that date back millions of years. The desert is best explored at this time when the crowds are gone and the limestone pillars rise out of the desert, creating a unique atmosphere as the colours change over the rocks.

Attendees can experience a picnic dinner with a glass of local wine, all included while enjoying a magnificent light show of natural wonders under the night sky. As the sun sets, guests can marvel at the captivating beauty of the stars and planets overhead. They will also have the opportunity to hear ancient Aboriginal Dreamtime stories and observe celestial objects located light-years away.
