Our Favourites
Escape the city for a one-day adventure to Western Australia’s natural wonders. After a 1.5-hour drive from Perth, stop at Lancelin Lookout to admire sweeping views over Australia’s largest sand dune system. Next, visit Nilgen Nature Reserve to stroll through seasonal wildflowers or head to Hangover Bay to dip your toes in the ocean and spot local marine life. In the afternoon, journey to Nambung National Park to explore the Pinnacles Desert at sunset. Enjoy a picnic dinner and local wine as the sun sinks below the horizon, then marvel at the night sky as stars and planets light up the desert. It’s the perfect blend of coastal charm, outback landscapes, and stargazing magic of the night sky. A truly unforgettable experience in the heart of Western Australia.
For the best photos of the Pinnacles at sunset, arrive just before golden hour and head to the western edge of the park—fewer people, softer light, and incredible silhouettes against the sky.
In order to maximise the sunset experience, this tour’s departure time changes throughout the year.
