Pinnacles Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour From Perth

Leave behind city life for a one-day treat of some of Western Australia’s best natural wonders. Our first stop is in the small coastal town of Guilderton, which lies approximately 100kms north of Perth. Where the river meets the sea, walk the foreshore and witness the vast array of unique birdlife, flocking to the Moore River estuary. Stroll along a boardwalk made of ancient Tamala Limestone and climb the Yoodook Karla Kada Staircase to see where ships, long ago wrecked against the coastline. An important meeting place for local Aboriginal tribes in the area, you’ll learn how native plants were once used for both food and medicine. After admiring the picturesque Indian Ocean views, we head deep into the desert to explore the endless white sand dunes of Lancelin; Australia’s premier sand boarding destination. Often up to three storeys high, these sand dunes will offer thrill-seekers a ride of a lifetime. Don’t forget to hold on tight, while you fearlessly surf down the sandy waves, on custom made boards. Shake the sand out of your shoes, before we travel on to the Nilgen Nature Reserve. A region abundant with flora and fauna, we’ll wander through a kaleidoscopic of wildflowers, including the likes of banksias, bottlebrush, heath, grass trees and kangaroo paws; all bursting with life, when in season.

The final stop of the day is the highlight of the tour visiting and walking through the limestone formations at The Pinnacles during sunset. See the incredible changing colours of the desert landscape and then finish the day with a picnic dinner and stargazing before returning to Perth in the late evening. The Pinnacles Sunset Dinner and Stargazing tour departs Perth on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 10.45am and returns at approx. 9pm or later in the summer. Group sizes are kept small with a maximum of 18 guests to ensure a more personalised outback experience of Western Australia.
