Itinerary
Experience the beauty of the West Coast’s natural regions on a Pinnacles Day Tour. This tour offers an opportunity to explore the stunning Pinnacles and get a glimpse of the wildlife in their native wonderland, all while enjoying a star-studded twilight adventure.
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and explore some of Western Australia’s finest natural wonders for a day.
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 in the distance. We shake the sand out of our shoes before heading to Nilgen Nature Reserve. It has abundant flora and fauna. We walk through a kaleidoscope of wildflowers, including banksias, bottlebrushes, heath, grass trees, and kangaroo paws. They burst with life during their season. If the flowers are hiding, we go to Hangover Bay. There, you can dip your toes in the clear waters or spot dolphins and sea lions.
At Nambung National Park, visitors can see the unique Pinnacles desert at sunset. Comprised of shells, these ancient limestone pillars formed millions of years ago when the area was submerged underwater. It is recommended to explore the desert at dusk when the crowds disperse, allowing for a tranquil experience and the opportunity to witness the changing colours of the rocks, creating an otherworldly atmosphere similar to the moon.
Experience a picnic dinner with a glass of local wine (included) as you watch a mesmerizing light show of natural wonder under the sky. As the sun sets, you can admire the breathtaking beauty of the stars and planets twinkling high above. Hear the ancient tales of the Aboriginal Dreamtime and gaze into the vastness of space.
