Itinerary
Join us for a Pinnacles Day Tour to experience the natural beauty of the West Coast, including the stunning Pinnacles. Witness the beauty of the twilight sky and observe the native wildlife in their natural habitat.
Escape the hustle and bustle of city life for a day to explore some of the stunning natural wonders of Western Australia.
After 1.5 hours from Perth, we stop to stretch our legs and take in the views from Lancelin’s lookout. Lancelin Lookout is home to the largest network of dunes in Western Australia. These dunes are gigantic and snow-white in colour. They starkly contrast with the glistening turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean in the distance. Before we continue our journey, it is advised to shake the sand out of your shoes. Our next destination is the Nilgen Nature Reserve. This region is abundant with flora and fauna. As we wander through the reserve, we’ll witness a kaleidoscope of wildflowers. These include banksias, bottlebrushes, heath, grass trees, and kangaroo paws. They burst with life when in season. If the flowers are not in bloom, we can visit Hangover Bay instead. In Hangover Bay, you can dip your toes in the crystal-clear waters or spot bottlenose dolphins and sea lions.
After enjoying the fresh sea air, visitors can take a trip to Nambung National Park and witness the Pinnacles desert at sunset. These unique limestone pillars, made of shells and dating back millions of years, were formed when the land was underwater. It is recommended to explore this desert at dusk when the crowds lessen and the changing colours create an eerie, lunar-like atmosphere.
Experience a picnic dinner accompanied by a glass of local wine (all included) while enjoying a breathtaking light show of natural wonder under the sky. As night falls, appreciate the extraordinary beauty of the stars and planets swirling high above. Listen to ancient stories of the Aboriginal Dreamtime and gaze into the depths of the universe.
