Pinnacles Sunset Tour

Join us on a spectacular Pinnacles Sunset Tour, exploring some of Western Australia’s most stunning natural landscapes. Experience twinkling twilight skies, abundant wildlife, and the remarkable limestone formations of the Pinnacles Desert.

After departing Perth, travel approximately 1.5 hours to Guilderton Lookout, offering panoramic views of Western Australia’s largest sand dune network. Accessed by 83 steps (approximately 7 minutes), the lookout provides striking views of snow-white dunes against the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Toilets and a café are available at the carpark.

Continue to Nilgen Nature Reserve, where you may wander among seasonal wildflowers including banksias, bottlebrushes, heath, grass trees, and kangaroo paws. If wildflowers are not in season, the tour visits Hangover Bay instead, where you may dip your toes in crystal-clear waters or spot bottlenose dolphins and sea lions.

Journey onward to Nambung National Park to witness the extraordinary Pinnacles Desert at sunset. Formed millions of years ago from ancient seashell deposits, thousands of limestone pillars rise from the desert floor. At dusk, as crowds fade away, the changing light creates an eerie, lunar-like atmosphere.

Enjoy a picnic dinner accompanied by a glass of local wine as the sky transforms into a dazzling display of stars and planets. Listen to ancient Aboriginal Dreamtime stories while marvelling at the clear desert night sky. A telescope is provided for enhanced stargazing.

Meals: Dinner included.
Driving distance: 420km.
Walking distance: Approximately 1–2km.
A moderate level of fitness is required. Departure times vary throughout the year to maximise the sunset experience, and itinerary stops may adjust slightly.
