Description
Discover some of the West Coast's most stunning natural regions on our Pinnacles Day Tour. The Pinnacles offer a star-studded adventure of twinkling twilight and wildlife.
We first stop in Lancelin Lookout, home to the largest network of dunes in Western Australia, after 1.5 hours from Perth. You can dip your toes in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean or spot bottlenose dolphins and sea lions offshore. Â
Before we travel to Nilgen Nature Reserve, shake the sand out of your shoes. We will wander through a kaleidoscopic of wildflowers, all bursting with life, when in season.
We journey on to the Nambung National Park to witness the Pinnacles desert at sunset with fresh sea air in our lungs. The limestone pillars rise eerily out of the desert at dusk; watch the colours change over the rocks, creating a lunar-like atmosphere. Â
A picnic dinner along with a glass of sparkling local wine is included, while we watch a breathtaking light show under the stars. Darkness settles in, revealing the other-worldly beauty of stars and planets. Â
