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.

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.
This landscape is ancient: limestone pillars formed from shells and seashells cemented, eroded and exposed over thousands of years. The region sits on Noongar country and the Pinnacles feature in local stories tying people to place and seasonal cycles. Geologically, the spires reveal wind and salt acting on calcareous sand—each column an archive of climate and time.
Culturally, the nearby fishing village of Cervantes supplies fresh seafood to picnic menus and the Discovery Centre explains both natural history and Indigenous perspectives. Practically, the nine-hour day tour includes air‑conditioned transport from Perth, national park entry, a guided Pinnacles walk, a beach-side picnic with sparkling local wine, and a telescope-led stargazing session.
Expect sandy, uneven terrain and cool nights that demand layers. Sunset and star visibility depend on weather and season; guides adjust departure times to optimize viewing. Bring sun protection and plenty of water, and plan for a long day with several short walks rather than a single strenuous hike. The experience balances spectacle with access—an efficient, sensory route through one of Western Australia’s clearest night skies.

Stargazing depends on weather and visibility; guides will do their best to find clear skies but tours are weather‑dependent and views can’t be guaranteed.
Children are welcome but the tour is not suitable for those under 6; minors must be accompanied by an adult and should be comfortable with a long day and night conditions.
Nambung National Park lies within traditional Noongar country; local cultural knowledge connects the landforms to seasonal stories and resource use.
