It’s a scenic drive North out of Perth as we head straight into the heart of Nambung National Park. Our 4WD capabilities will take you off the beaten track and right into the Pinnacles Desert where we’ll explore the 4.5km driving trail. You'll then get the opportunity to roam at your own pace and walk among thousands of surreal limestone formations that rise dramatically from the golden sand.

Visit the Pinnacles Discovery Centre to learn about the geology of the Pinnacle formations and the cultural and natural heritage values of the area. Stop by the gift store for some quirky and interesting souvenirs.

Our journey continues on, taking us to the Lake Thetis Stromatolites. These ancient rock like structures are formed by microbial communities and are among the earliest signs of life on Earth, dating back over 3.5 billion years. As you stroll along the easy boardwalk trail, you’ll get a close up look at these living fossils and find out what makes them so special.

60 min

Next it’s time to find a relaxing spot for morning tea, depending on the day’s weather and local conditions, we’ll choose one of the region’s beautiful secluded beaches to park up on. Cara will organise hot tea or coffee, you can enjoy a biscuit or two while you take in the sights and sounds of the beach around you. You’re welcome to grab a deck chair, dip your toes in the water, take a stroll along the sandy beach, or simply unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Sundowners - A Perfect finish before returning to Perth. We'll find the perfect spot to enjoy a laid-back Aussie sundowner.

Insightful day ending with a bit of fun!

Awesome day seeing the pinnacles with Cara stopping at the prime photo opportunities and explaining the history behind it. Then lunch in Cervantes at the Lobster Shack was beautiful on the water, followed by the sand dunes in Lancelin, having a go at sand boarding was incredibly fun! Very small group which was nice and quiet and the opportunity the get to know the others on the tour.

Thanks Nicola, It was a pleasure to show you a part of WA that I love. I also enjoyed hearing the stories of your homeland. Now you have some sketches of the Turquoise Coast as a great memory from your trip. Cara
