We collect you from your accommodation and enjoy a scenic 45-minute drive to Yanchep National Park, with optional photo stops along the way. At Yanchep National Park, guests can enjoy a classic Australian nature experience just north of Perth. Stroll the Koala Boardwalk to see koalas resting in the treetops and spot wild kangaroos grazing across the open grasslands. Take a peaceful walk through native bushland filled with birdsong and, in spring, colourful wildflowers. Those who wish can join a guided tour of the Crystal Cave, exploring striking limestone formations beneath the surface. Relax by the tranquil Loch McNess, a perfect spot for photos or a short stroll around the lake. The park also offers the chance to learn about the region’s Aboriginal heritage through cultural displays and guided activities. Whether you choose to explore, photograph wildlife, or simply stretch your legs in beautiful surroundings, Yanchep National Park is a refreshing and scenic stop on your journey.
From here, we enjoy a 60-minute journey to the Pinnacles, with time to stop at lookouts, secluded turquoise-water beaches, and roadside wildflower displays that make this stretch of coast so spectacular. Your next stop is the breathtaking Pinnacles Desert in Nambung National Park, one of Western Australia’s most iconic natural wonders. Wander through a surreal landscape of ancient limestone pillars rising from golden sands, formed over thousands of years. Take time to walk among the Pinnacles, capture incredible photos, and learn about how these formations were created by nature’s forces. Visit the Pinnacles Discovery Centre to uncover the area’s fascinating geology and Aboriginal significance. Whether you explore on foot or simply admire the view from the lookout, the Pinnacles offer a truly otherworldly experience that feels like stepping onto another planet — a must-see highlight of your journey along the Coral Coast.
After exploring the remarkable limestone formations of The Pinnacles Desert, we continue to the nearby coastal fishing town of Cervantes for a delicious included dinner. Here you’ll enjoy a freshly prepared lobster meal, sourced locally from the famous Western Rock Lobster waters of the Coral Coast and served with a glass of champagne as the sun begins to set. The relaxed coastal setting makes it the perfect place to unwind after exploring the desert landscape. As you dine, keep an eye on the surrounding grassy areas — kangaroos are often seen grazing nearby in the early evening, adding a uniquely Australian touch to the experience. With the ocean breeze, stunning colours of sunset, and incredible local seafood, this is a memorable highlight of the evening before we return to the Pinnacles for stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Western Australia
After dinner we return to the remarkable landscape of The Pinnacles Desert, where your private sunset and stargazing experience begins. Your guide leads you to a secluded spot deep in the desert where a private table and comfortable chairs are set up just for you. Relax and enjoy a gourmet platter of local produce served with your choice of wine, beer or champagne as the sun slowly sets behind the ancient limestone pillars. The desert glows with incredible colours of gold, orange and pink stretching across the horizon. As darkness falls, the real magic begins. With almost no light pollution, the sky fills with thousands of stars. The Milky Way stretches brightly overhead while constellations and planets become visible across the vast desert sky. Sit back with your drink in hand, surrounded by the mysterious Pinnacles, and enjoy one of Western Australia’s most breathtaking night sky experience
As the evening draws to a close, we begin the comfortable journey back to Perth. Sit back and relax in the vehicle after an unforgettable night under the stars as we travel along the peaceful Coral Coast highway. Along the way you can reflect on the stunning sunset, incredible stargazing and unique desert landscapes of The Pinnacles Desert. Upon arrival in Perth, we will drop you directly at your accommodation, completing a seamless and memorable private experience.

Great trip, Ben was our guide, we were initially concerned as we were travelling with young kids, but Ben took extra care to prep snacks, drinks, babyseats..made sure the family was well taken care of, kids were infatuated with “Uncle Ben” , and he even went the extra mile to look after our kids, while we enjoyed the desert, stars and the milky way! Highly recommended! Thanks Ben and Lauren!
Lauren was very helpful with understanding about travel sickness & long travel hours. She helped modify the experience & still retain all the must-do & see attractions so that the tour could be enjoyed. Thanks Lauren!
What an incredible experience! It’s almost ironic that the real “stars” of the night were actually the stars themselves — I genuinely couldn’t believe how many there were. The Milky Way was absolutely next level. Our day began with a visit to yanchep National Park, followed by exploring the breathtaking Pinnacles Desert. The platter provided was generous enough to be a full dinner, and watching the sunset with a glass of champagne was simply magical — that alone would have made the trip worthwhile. But it didn’t stop there. The lobster picnic was superb, and then came the main event… the night sky. I’ve never seen anything like it — the sheer number of stars, spotting satellites, and taking in the Milky Way was truly unforgettable. A special mention to Ben, who was the ultimate host. He made sure my family’s evening was nothing short of exceptional. This is a memory my family and I will cherish forever. Highly recommend!
