Private Pinnacles Desert Day Tour from Perth

We collect you from your accommodation and enjoy a scenic 45-minute drive to Yanchep National Park, with optional photo stops along the way.
At Yanchep National Park, guests can enjoy a classic Australian nature experience just north of Perth. Stroll the Koala Boardwalk to see koalas resting in the treetops and spot wild kangaroos grazing across the open grasslands. Take a peaceful walk through native bushland filled with birdsong and, in spring, colourful wildflowers. Those who wish can join a guided tour of the Crystal Cave, exploring striking limestone formations beneath the surface. Relax by the tranquil Loch McNess, a perfect spot for photos or a short stroll around the lake. The park also offers the chance to learn about the region’s Aboriginal heritage through cultural displays and guided activities. Whether you choose to explore, photograph wildlife, or simply stretch your legs in beautiful surroundings, Yanchep National Park is a refreshing and scenic stop on your journey.

From Yanchep, we enjoy a scenic 50-minute drive to Lancelin, taking in the changing landscapes along the way with plenty of opportunities for photo stops.
we visit the spectacular Lancelin Sand Dunes, one of Western Australia’s most unique natural playgrounds. These bright white dunes stretch as far as the eye can see, creating the perfect backdrop for stunning photos and a true taste of Aussie adventure. The more adventurous guests can try sandboarding, an exhilarating experience that feels like surfing on snow — easy to learn and a lot of fun! For those who prefer to stay grounded, simply take in the incredible coastal views, feel the soft sand under your feet, and capture unforgettable photos against the sweeping landscape. Whether you’re chasing thrills or just soaking up the scenery, the Lancelin Sand Dunes are an absolute highlight and a must-see stop on the journey north of Perth.

From here, we enjoy a 50-minute journey to the Pinnacles, with time to stop at lookouts, secluded turquoise-water beaches, and roadside wildflower displays that make this stretch of coast so spectacular.
Our next stop is the breathtaking Pinnacles Desert in Nambung National Park, one of Western Australia’s most iconic natural wonders. Wander through a surreal landscape of ancient limestone pillars rising from golden sands, formed over thousands of years. Take time to walk among the Pinnacles, capture incredible photos, and learn about how these formations were created by nature’s forces. Visit the Pinnacles Discovery Centre to uncover the area’s fascinating geology and Aboriginal significance. Whether you explore on foot or simply admire the view from the lookout, the Pinnacles offer a truly otherworldly experience that feels like stepping onto another planet — a must-see highlight of your journey along the Coral Coast.

After exploring the Pinnacles, we head to the nearby coastal town of Cervantes for an optional lunch at the famous Lobster Shack. Overlooking the Indian Ocean, this family-run restaurant is known for its fresh Western Rock Lobster and relaxed seaside atmosphere. Guests can choose to enjoy a delicious seafood platter, classic fish and chips, or the signature grilled lobster served straight from the ocean. For those interested, you can also join a short factory tour to see how the lobsters are caught, processed, and exported around the world — a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at one of WA’s best-known industries. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy great food, and take in the coastal views

Scenic Coastal Return to Perth

On the return journey from the Pinnacles, we take the scenic coastal route back to Perth — turning the drive home into a relaxed and memorable part of the experience. Hugging the Indian Ocean coastline, we can make leisurely stops at beautiful locations such as Mindarie Marina or Hillarys Boat Harbour, perfect for stretching your legs, enjoying the ocean views, or grabbing a coffee or ice cream by the water.

If you’d like, we can pause for a casual drink at Froth Brewing Co, or continue south to iconic Scarborough Beach, where there’s time for a refreshing swim, a stroll along the foreshore, or simply soaking up the coastal atmosphere.

This flexible coastal return allows you to unwind after a full day of exploration, with stops tailored to your mood, the weather, and your group. We’ll then drop you back at your hotel or accommodation, relaxed and refreshed after a day that blends natural wonders, coastal beauty, and local favourites.
