Tour Information

Leave the city life behind for a star-studded adventure exploring Western Australia’s most stunning natural wonders. This one-day journey is designed to showcase the magic of the West Coast, transitioning from the glistening turquoise coast to the eerie lunar landscape of the Pinnacles Desert as the sun sets and the stars emerge.

  • Total Distance: Approximately 420km
  • Departure: 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm (Seasonal departure times to maximize the sunset experience)
  • Return: Approximately 9:00 pm – 11:00 pm back in Perth

Tour Highlights

  • Lancelin Lookout: Take in views of the largest network of snow-white sand dunes in Western Australia.
  • Nilgen Nature Reserve: Wander through a kaleidoscope of seasonal wildflowers or visit the pristine Hangover Bay.
  • Pinnacles Sunset: Witness the limestone pillars of Nambung National Park without the daytime crowds.
  • Outback Dining: Enjoy a locally sourced Australian picnic dinner with a glass of local wine.
  • Aboriginal Astronomy: Learn about the Dreamtime and gaze at the stars through a telescope (conditions permitting).

Itinerary

The journey begins with a drive north to the Lancelin lookout. Here, you will see a stunning contrast between the gigantic white sand dunes and the glistening waters of the Indian Ocean.

Next, explore the Nilgen Nature Reserve. When in season, the area is bursting with life, including banksias, grass trees, and kangaroo paws. If the flowers are in hiding, the tour moves to Hangover Bay, where you can dip your toes in crystal-clear waters and look out for bottlenose dolphins or sea lions.

Arrive at the Pinnacles Desert at dusk, just as the daytime crowds evaporate. These limestone pillars, formed from shells over millions of years, rise eerily out of the desert. Watching the colours change over the rocks as the sun sets creates a truly other-worldly, lunar atmosphere.

As darkness sets in, settle in for a picnic dinner under the outback sky. Away from city lights, the stars and planets appear with incredible clarity. While marvelling at the swirling cosmos through a telescope, you will listen to ancient stories of the Aboriginal Dreamtime, connecting the landscape to the stars above.
