Take the opportunity to grab a photo of this iconic Perth structure before departing at 6:45am. An early start ensures we maximise the day and beat the heat (and the crowds) to explore the Pinnacles before the WA sun gets too hot.
The Pinnacles Desert
Admission included90 min
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.
Stromatolites

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.
Cervantes
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.

Choose a seaside cocktail or mocktail. Local and international bears and wines are on offer, or try the Lobster Lager and complete the full experience.
Lancelin Sand Dunes

Sundowners - 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.

If you’re looking for a tour with a host who knows her stuff, Cara is your gal
What an amazing experience with Cara - a lady who knows how to excel at customer care and gives an exceptional attention to detail.
We saw this trip on a flyer in our hotel and immediately went on trip advisor and Cara’s tour came up with fabulous and consistent reviews so we booked with Cara.
Our hotel wasn’t on the pick up list so we messaged Cara and it was no problem for us to be picked up at our hotel.
We had a bottles of water waiting on arrival at the van, complimentary coffee stop, interesting information shared throughout the journey to the Pinnacles. We visited the Lobster Shack for lunch which is something else!
Next we were off sand boarding - wow this was good, after a quick demo by Cara we were sailing down the dunes.
The post dunes complimentary G&T was next level, what a place for a tipple!
If you’re looking for a tour with a host who knows her stuff, Cara is your gal - professional, friendly, knowledgeable and just fun to be with.
Thanks so much Cara xx

Great day tour!
The entire day was very well planned out, yet did not feel cramped. There were varied landscapes covered and it was the perfect first time experience. The vehicle was pretty comfortable for the small group and Cara was such a great organiser - she was super nice and knowledgeable about the localities!

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.
