Itinerary
Set off on an enthralling Pinnacles Tour, immersing you in the pristine natural beauty of Australia’s West Coast. This journey promises an evening filled with sparkling stars, native wildlife, and the enchanting terrain of the Pinnacles.
Leaving the hustle and bustle of Perth behind, we journey for 1.5 hours to our first stop at the Lancelin lookout, amidst Western Australia’s most extensive dune system. The contrast of the towering dunes against the Indian Ocean’s crystal-clear waters is simply breathtaking. After a refreshing stop, we proceed to Nilgen Nature Reserve, a haven for diverse flora and fauna. During the blooming season, the area comes alive with vibrant wildflowers. Alternatively, Hangover Bay offers tranquil waters and the chance to encounter dolphins and sea lions.
With our spirits uplifted by the ocean breeze, we venture towards Nambung National Park to experience the Pinnacles desert at its most magical hour – sunset. Witness the transformation of the landscape as the ancient limestone pillars cast long shadows, creating a mystical atmosphere.
The evening continues with a picnic dinner under the stars, accompanied by fine local wine, setting the stage for a spectacular celestial display. As darkness envelops the desert, we turn our eyes skyward to marvel at the beauty of the universe, guided by tales from Aboriginal Dreamtime and advanced stargazing technology.
Nilgen Nature Lookout / Hangover Bay
Enjoy breathtaking coastal vistas as we head towards Nilgen Nature Lookout for a gentle walk among seasonal wildflowers. On days outside the flowering season, Hangover Bay becomes our destination, offering insights into Aboriginal culture and the chance to spot marine life.
