Your morning begins with a convenient 6:45am pickup at the iconic Bell Tower in Barrack Square, or request complimentary hotel pickup from selected Perth CBD locations. An early departure ensures you’ll enjoy the Pinnacles Desert before the crowds arrive, giving you a rare, almost private experience. Meet your guide and host for the day, Cara, who knows this region like a second home. On this trip you're not a tourist, you're a guest. With personalised attention, thoughtful hospitality and insider stories bringing the Turquoise Coast and Pinnacles Desert to life.

The scenic drive north from Perth takes us right into the heart of Nambung National Park and into the Pinnacles Desert. Leaving the crowds behind, our 4WD capabilities take you off the usual tourist routes, allowing us to explore the 4.5 km golden sandy driving loop. Along the way, Cara will guide you to the best photo stops, like "Chungs Rock Photo Frame" or the "Desert Rock Platform" You’ll have the freedom to walk up close among the thousands of striking pinnacles at your own pace, discovering hidden angles and moments that capture the desert’s surreal beauty from every perspective.

Visit the Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre to uncover the fascinating geological theories behind the limestone formations and explore the area’s rich cultural and natural heritage. Take a moment to browse the gift store, where you’ll find quirky and unique souvenirs to remember your day.

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.

Our journey continues to Lake Thetis to discover the remarkable Thrombolites. These ancient, rock like structures are living fossils, formed by microbial communities and represent some of the earliest signs of life on Earth. As you stroll along the easy boardwalk you'll see a rare glimpse into this ancient life and find out what makes these formations so special.

Enjoy a relaxed coastal lunch stop while watching the lobster boats come in to dock after cruising the Indian Ocean. Choose from buckets of prawns, Seafood chowder, Australian oysters, octopus salad, calamari or the classic fish and chips. As well as a selection of seafood delights, alternative meals are available as well as gluten free and vegetarian options. If you want to try the famous Western Australian Rock Lobster, this is the place to do it! Upgrade your ticket to include the Lobster meal at booking checkout.

In the afternoon, we head south to the vast white sands of the Lancelin Dunes, one of the largest sand dune fields in Western Australia. Choose your adventure, grab a sand board and ride the dunes, or kick back and take in the stunning views of endless sand meeting sea and sky.

Dune side beverages - A Perfect finish before returning to Perth. We'll find the perfect spot to enjoy a laid back Aussie sundowner. Sink into a deck chair with your drink of choice, either a chilled local beer, gin & tonic with WA botanicals, or a fresh Australian orange juice. Take some time to reminisce over your day, capture any last minute photo memories, or simply appreciate the unique landscapes you’ve explored.
