More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the coach as the light thins and a cold, coastal wind nudges the dunes—the Pinnacles stand like an army of weathered totems, their pale limestone faces catching the last gold of the day. The tour threads Perth’s urban grid to Nambung National Park, stopping at coastal lookouts and white sand dunes before delivering a picnic dinner at Hangover Bay and a telescope to chase the Milky Way.
