Itinerary
See MapJoin us on tour for a Pinnacles Day Tour exploring some of the West Coast’s most stunning natural regions. Enjoy a star-studded adventure of twinkling twilight and wildlife in the native wonderland of the Pinnacles.
Leave behind city life for a one-day treat to some of Western Australia’s best natural wonders.
After 1.5 hours from Perth, we stop to stretch our legs and take in the views from Lancelin lookout, home to the largest network of sand dunes in Western Australia. These gigantic snow-white dunes are a stark contrast to the glistening turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean in the distance.
Shake the sand out of your shoes, before we travel on to the Nilgen Nature Reserve. In a region abundant with flora and fauna, we’ll wander through a kaleidoscopic of wildflowers, including the likes of banksias, bottlebrush, heath, grass trees, and kangaroo paws; all bursting with life, when in season. If the flowers are in hiding, we’ll instead head over to Hangover Bay, where you can dip your toes in the crystal-clear waters or spot the likes of bottlenose dolphins and sea lions.
With our lungs full of fresh sea air, it’s time to journey on to the Nambung National Park to witness the remarkable Pinnacles desert at sunset. Made up of shells, the Pinnacles date back millions of years to a time when the land was beneath the sea. Best explored at dusk when the crowds evaporate and the thousands of limestone pillars rise eerily out of the desert; watch the colours change over the rocks, creating a lunar-like atmosphere.
Enjoy a Picnic dinner accompanied by a glass of local product wine (all included), while we settle in for a spectacular light show of natural wonder, beneath the sky. As the darkness sets, it’s time to marvel at the other-worldly beauty of the stars and planets, swirling high above. Listen to the ancient stories of the Aboriginal Dreamtime and gaze light-years away.
Meals: Dinner. Driving distance: 420km. Walking distance: ~1km / 2km.

Bookings can still be made right up until the departure date of the tour if seats are available. If you know when you'd like to travel, please contact us and we will let you know if you need to book soon or if you have time.

Who travels with us
Is this tour for me?
Our tours are made up of small groups with a range of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds. Generally people who travel with us are between 20 and 49, though we also get alot passengers much older onboard - everyone is welcome! On tour we get equally as many males as females and everyone shares an enthusiasm for the out doors, nature, adventure and culture. Our tours are for those wanting to really explore and share the experience with likeminded travellers. Whether we are camping by a billabong in Kakadu National Park or sharing a cabin in Tasmania, our travellers want more than just a site seeing tour. They are chasing a hands on group experience. The trips are packed with many highlights and the pace can be fast. There may be some long drives and passengers should expect to help out when setting up camp or cooking food - this is a group adventure. However, there’s always time to chill out, have a cold beer ( or wine! ) and soak up your surroundings. As always, if in doubt then contact us directly with your concerns.
Cost and Fees
What does "Paid Locally" mean?
Some tours require you to pay national park fees directly, in cash, to the tour guide on the morning of departure. Rest assured this will be subtracted from the tour price when reserving your tour.
Will I need additional money?
Visitors are advised to bring some cash as ATMs and banks can be few and far between depending on where we are during the trip. Its handy to have some extra cash as we do stop by local shops and cafe.
Do I need to tip our guide?
If you had an amazing time on tour and wish to tip the guide, then that is completely up to you. However, tipping is not customary and is not at all expected.
Are there any hidden fees I need to know about?
Our tour prices are completely transparent. There are no additional fees involved that are not included in the overall tour price shown. If you wish to do optional activities such as helicopter rides or wildlife safaris, then an extra cost may be needed. However, this will always be made clear at the time of your booking.
Whilst on tour
What type of tent will I get?
Tents are generally designed to accommodate a minimum of 2 people. This means there is plenty of room to move about and store your luggage. However, most Uluru tours we try and encourage the use of swags and mattress rather than tents. This is the ideal way to camp in the centre of Australia; Around a campfire, under the stars!
What will the food be like?
Our emphasis is on fresh food wherever possible and our meals are nutritious and varied on these tours. If you are vegetarian or gluten intolerant we can cater for you, but if you have very specific dietary needs you may need to provide your own food, please discuss this at time of booking. For breakfast we supply cereals, fruits, toast, tea and coffee. Lunch is usually a self-serve picnic sandwich and salads; in the evening we have a cooked dinner - This can vary between pastas, bbqs, rices and other hearty food to keep you energized! We always carry water in the vehicle and you will often have the chance to buy your own drinks, ice-creams etc at stops. Please refer to each individual tour/package to establish which meals are included.
Can you cater of special diets?
We can certain cater for most dietary needs. Please advise us at the time of your booking so arrangements can be made. For travellers with more extreme diets we may ask that you bring along additional snacks.
Can I book extra accommodation for the start and end of the tour?
We know our country inside and out and would be happy to give you good recommodations. Please contact us for recommendations.

What is the weather like in Western Australia?
WA is Australia’s largest state, comprising one-third of its land mass. In the north much of the landscape is barren. The Great Sandy Desert fringes the central-west coast. The Nullarbor, a vast dry plain, sweeps across the south and over the border into South Australia (SA). The southwestern corner of the state is a fertile area of forest and vineyards, and is only small in comparison to the size of the rest of WA.Interesting variations in landscape include the Kimberley in the extreme north of the state, a wild and rugged area with a convoluted coastline and stunning inland gorges.The Pilbara, in the northwest, is magnificent ancient-rock and gorge country from which the state derives vast mineral wealth. Away from the coast most of WA is simply a huge empty stretch of outback: along with the Nullarbor Plain and the Great Sandy Desert, the Gibson and Great Victoria Deserts cover much of the state.It’s tropical in the north, where the Dry and Wet seasons replace winter and summer. The Dry lasts from June to August and the Wet from December to February, with monsoonal rain falling from January onwards. The rain can render roads impassable and Port Hedland weathers a serious cyclone at least every two years. In the interior the climate is semi-arid and arid. The southwest of WA is temperate. It’s often above 25°C here while the average temperature along the Kimberley coast is a heavenly 28°C. Up in the Pilbara temperatures can soar to an enthusiasm-depleting 48°C.
What sort of accommodation, vehicles and facilities do we use?
Accommodation on the tour is a mixture of National Parks, camp grounds (with showers and toilets), bush camps (no facilities). Every night in your swag. When camping we use swags with foam mattresses. We like to be flexible with our camping spots as sometimes weather conditions will dictate the best place to camp. We travel in an air-conditioned Mini Bus (maximum of 18 passengers across the Nullarbor) with a purpose built camping trailer.

Amazing experience highly recommend and would do this again. First stop a bakery with a toilet break then to the sand dunes for a little boarding. Next stop Hangover Bay for some educational plant life tour and a walk on the beach. Last stop the Pinnacles National Park to watch the sunset, dinner and lots of stargazing. Very friendly and informative tour guides and amazing things to see.

It was a full day tour with a lot of time sitting in the van. Great to get overview of the places to visit in WA and to come back at a later date. The sunset and star gazing is obviously weather dependent but beautiful nevertheless. Recommend to bring some snacks and lunch as we did the additional crystal cave part and did not have time for lunch. Highlight of the tour was obviously the Pinnacles at the end of the day.

We had a great time on this trip! Really feels like the long drive is worth it because of the stops along the way! We had “Steve L” as our guide today and he was FAB.
Itinerary is really well thought out and flexible according to the weather and the group.
Dinner was good! Only thing that could be added would be pudding! Fruit was nice but chocolate cake was mentioned and that would go down well on the way home!
Overall a great day and would highly recommend.

I'm so glad I booked this tour. I wanted to see the Pinnacles and tried to book something from Cervantes but there was nothing unless I had a car, so opted to stay in Perth an extra couple of days and booked it from here. Pete, the tour guide, was great, patient, funny, safe and generally fab from the moment he picked us up to the moment he set us down.
We stopped at Yanchep National Park and had the option of visiting Crystal Caves which I highly recommend, then headed to the Pinnacles, then watched the sunset over the Indian Ocean. On our was back to Perth stopped and Pete talked us through a lot of the stars. It was incredible. I cannot recommend this enough

“A long day with lots of driving, but worth it!!”
Travelled 15th January 2023
(5/5)
This had to be the most interesting adventure of our whole trip. It started out with an on-time pick-up by Mick near our hotel where we met our small and very diverse group of 10 other adventurers in a small older, but comfortable van. Once everyone was loaded up and ready to go we departed for our first stop, Yanchep National Park. Now at this point I am going to stop for a second and say a few things about our tour guide, Mick. You talk about an Outback Aussie straight out of central casting! He is so laid back and carefree at first I was wondering if he was just putting on a show for the tourists. But after a while of talking with him it is really just who he is. From the untucked shirt to the Kangaroo skin hat to his dislike of wearing shoes, he is the real deal. Mick was very personable, knowledgeable, and seemed to know someone wherever we went. With Mick, what you see is what you get. He is very bold, outspoken, and his humor and language can be a little off color, but that really is part of his charm. I would rather have a real person than someone who is pretending to be who they are not! But back to the trip. Yanchep National Park was a nice stop. You are pretty much on your own there but with just a little initiative you can see wild kangaroos and other wildlife in the park. The Koalas are in an enclosure but you are able to walk right under the trees where they are napping for a good look and pictures. We also did the Crystal Cave which was extra, but worth it. After the cave tour it was back into the van for our trip to Hangover Beach near the Pinnacles park. It was very windy that day which, as we approached the ocean, started rocking the van as we went down the highway. I could tell the rocking was making some of the other passengers nervous but there is something to be said about rolling down the highway at 80 KPH, munching on the provided snacks of chips and apples, listening to Mick sing along with his very eclectic music playlist, and watching the confusion on the Japanese tourists faces as he asks them to "Send them crisps up this way mate!" It was a blast!
Hangover beach was OK, nothing amazing. We wound up spending about an hour there before we moved on the the Pinnacles. We got there about 3 hours before sunset so there was plenty of time to explore on our own. Mick did give a little talk about the park, and then sent us on our way with instructions to meet back up for dinner at a specific time. The amount of time we had to explore was just about perfect. A couple of items to be aware of, it is VERY windy there pretty much constantly and it gets cold very quickly! Dress appropriately and bring a jacket! After our exploration time was done everyone met back up at the picnic area in the middle of the park for a dinner of cold rotisserie chicken, potato salad, and a few other sides along with coffee or tea. Dinner was spartan but filling and tasty, and considering the location more than adequate. After dinner was done and everything was put up most of us just stayed around the central area waiting for the sunset. I found it fascinating that you could see the Pinnacles, sand dunes, forest, and the Indian Ocean all from one small area. The sunset was beautiful that evening and we stayed until it was almost completely dark which allowed a gorgeous view of the night sky from the park. Once again I must emphasis about the constant wind and the chill! Be prepared! After Mick got everyone loaded up we started the long journey back to Perth with a short stop on the way in an especially dark area where you can really see the starts and the Milky Way. The view was awe inspiring! At this point everyone was pretty tired and quiet except for Mick! I swear he is like the Energizer Bunny! Once we got back to Perth we were dropped off at the same location we were picked up for the short walk back to our hotel.
So to sum up, It is a long day with LOTS of driving and you will be tired by the end of it. Yanchep National Park is interesting but you need to get off the paths to see some of the wildlife, but that is OK. Koalas are cute but sleepy, the kangaroos will let you get close to them, but be respectful. The Crystal Cave was worth the extra money. Hangover beach was Meh, but there is something to be said about being able to stick your toes in the Indian Ocean. The Pinnacles were beautiful but dress appropriately and be ready for constant wind. Dont expect a gourmet meal there but it is more than adequate and you cannot beat the view! The sunset and the stars are beautiful. If you are wanting a pampered luxury tour, this isn't it. But if you are up for an adventure with a very colorful tour guide (if you have Mick) then this is it

“Small group pinnacles tour”
Travelled 15th January 2023
(4/5)
Tour was everything I expected. Our guide Mick (Dundee :), a real outdoorsman, was friendly and very interesting to talk to with his knowledge of wildlife and nature..
I went to the crystal caves in the first part of the trip and that was a highlight for me, and desert hiking at the Pinnacles was a good experience.
On the drive back, Mick provided us with the opportunity for additional star gazing when the night sky was at it's brightest.
A worthwhile trip to go on if you're interested in seeing more of the nature just outside of Perth.
The only suggestion I'd offer is to trade-off some time (say an hour) at the Pinnacles during the day for more time at the Yanchup national park. Having done the cave tour, I would have liked a bit of time to explore the national park.

“Nice trip”

Went for the evening Pinnacle trip with Autopia. Trip was in a small group of 12 and our driver/guide - Mark was truly remarkable.
Yanchep National Park is truly serene and beautiful, with Koalas n Kangaroos roaming freely.
We were glad we joined the optional crystal cave tour. Even though not as huge as some caves, the formations of the stalactites n stalagmites at this crystal caves were much more natural and bewildering.
The Pinnacles at dusk were simply mesmerizing, with the Pinnicles scattered allover the golden sand.
And after a delicious picnic dinner, we drove back down the Pinnacles. At night, you can see the Milky Way with a million stars, mindblowing.
Overall, a very well-arranged n wonderful trip! Cheers.

“Sunset Pinnacles Tour is Great. There was a lot to see in this t”
Travelled 15th January 2023

Yanchep National Park is a pretty place, Was very green with blue lakes. There was a short boardwalk to see koalas. Kangaroos are roaming free. The optional crystal cave tour is interesting and informative. Hangover Bay is a short pretty stop to take in the peaceful scenery. The individual pinnacles are not as large as some people expect but the massive quantity and different shapes makes an incredible landscape. Changing colours are nice before sunset. The Pinnacles lookout is a great place to visit and watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean. The picnic lunch was very nicely prepared and delicious. The stars were amazing and our guide Paul was great at pointing out individual stars and constellations.

“Small sized, low effort adventure with amazing natural beauty at”
Travelled 6th June 2023
(5/5)
Favourite part was the destination itself. I had no idea this lunar landscape existed. As you drive into the area you are truly amazed by these ancient rock formations. You are free to roam through the rocks, and it’s not all closed in, so there’s plenty of space to experience The Pinnacles at your own pace.
It is a couple of hours out of Perth, but our guide Laura provided good narrative when needed, and broke up the trip with a stop at a lookout on the way, toilet stop for those who needed one, and provided Aussie snacks in addition to the evening meal.
The sunset was marred a bit by cloud, and the near full moon may have detracted from the star gazing a bit, but enabled us to see trip hazards . Laura Holmes was a very friendly guide, and ensured she got to know each tourist and a bit about their lives. She was genuinely interested in her clients, and is both experienced and knowledgeable in her tour destinations.

The trip to the pinnacles was a highlight of our visit to WA.
Everything was great - from the operator's courtesy call a few days before to the last minute with our guide.
Sue was unbelievable - professional, knowledgeable, with an incredible sense of humor and a constant commitment to safety.
Beautiful landscapes, coastal flora and fauna, grandiosity of Milky way as well as legends of Yuat people and other communities, history and love for the land and its inhabitants made this trip unforgettable.
You nailed it, Sue!

The overall experience was great , calling into Lancelin,Nilgen Nature Reserve, and then on to the Pinnacles at 1400hrs.
The time spent there was amazing and interesting learning how the accepted theory of how this particular area was formed over the 1000's of years.
Finally , after 1800hrs, Carlos had our dinner ready then onto the star gazing through the powerful telescope that had front row seat on the way up.
Trip concluded at 1030hrs back at the Adina.

Our guide was professional and knowledgeable. She drove safely and was a good host. During the stargazing portion of our trip, she shared some great tips on how to find constellations and told us some aboriginal stories about them.
The stars were some of the best I've seen. if you're lucky enough to schedule this for a clear night you're in for a treat. Bring water with you or make sure to fill up in Lancelin. There isn't potable water in the park and you get there after the gift shop closes. Make sure to bring a warm layer if going in the winter. It gets cold quickly when the sun goes down.

Unfortunately it was not the right time of year to see the wildflowers, but we had more time to look around the Pinnacles. Warm clothes are a must, as it gets quite cold once the sun goes down. The tour is more than worth a recommendation, we would do it again any time. As we come from Germany, this was a unique experience.

We had a casual picnic with plenty of food and snacks, and the cloud stayed away long enough for us to do some stargazing (though the telescope did not get much effective use!)

We booked the ½ day Pinnacles Stargazing Tour with Wildlife Tours Australia (same company as Autopia but price was less- they merged during pandemic). We only wanted the half day tour which left midday, and we stopped along the way in Lancelin (very small town) to the lookout and stretch our legs, Hangover Bay (lovely looking beach) and Nilgen lookout. The bus was full with about 25 people (my husband felt his legs were cramped as he was very tall but I was fine)
We then headed to Nambung National Park to see the Pinnacles. Wow - these limestone structures for as far as the eye can see. Somewhat eerie but beautiful. Our tour was only to walk around - there is a path (there is a car road but we did not drive) so everyone disbursed. It was windy so with sand blowing we tried to focus on having the wind at our backs, then headed to the deck to watch sunset.
Our tour guide Denny was great. Meanwhile he was setting up the picnic dinner for us - very upscale picnic with cheese and crackers, strawberries, then nice salads and meat choices. He had Prosecco and juice (no water, so best to bring your own).
Once it was dark, he gave us a stargazing tour - wow, wow and wow. It was a clear night and there were so many stars. It is pitch black so you could really see the stars. We brought flashlights (although cell phones do have that capability). We saw the Southern Cross, Jupiter, the Milky Way and so many more.

My wife and I started the tour with a slight hiccup, a couple who hadn't read the emails properly made us start late, but Erin and Summer, our tour advisors, took it in their stride. Erin started the tour with great information about Perth and continued it for most of the journey to the Pinnacles. On arrival, she gave us a great explanation for the Pinnacles and later really good information on the night sky and then showed us Jupiter through her telescope. The camaraderie shown by Erin and Summer to all of us on the tour was excellent, and the evening meal they organised was well laid out and enjoyable. I think I can say that all of us appreciated the care they took in looking after us. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in a good day out from Perth, definitely 5 stars....

The tour was delightful from beginning to end, we were 15 individuals in a charming yet practical minibus (maybe the addition of headrests could enhance comfort during the journey). Our guide and driver, Sue, was exceptionally well-versed in the region’s natural history, sharing captivating tales of the area’s historical events. The mid-journey break was much appreciated, allowing us to savour watermelon, stretch, and take in the surrounding vistas. It was a wise decision to take us on preliminary bus tour of the Pinnacles, which gave us ample opportunity to capture photos and marvel at the stunning natural formations. The dinner was satisfying, offering a wide selection of dishes, though dining with a bit more daylight might have enhanced the experience. The stargazing segment was truly remarkable, thanks to the fortuitous absence of clouds. This is an experience I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone in Perth!

What an amazing experience. I would most certainly recommend this tour to anyone.
I booked this tour as a Christmas present for my immediate family. There were 10 of us in total with ages ranging from 74 to 9.
Claire was amazing from the time I enquired about the tour continuing through to the days following the tour. She was so helpful and was very accommodating to our needs.
Our tour started on Saturday the 28th of December 2024 when we were picked up at
my home at 1.45 and headed on our adventure.
Gavin our driver and tour guide was a very experienced driver and guide. His commentary was very informative, and even though we live in Western Australia, he was able to give us some facts that were new to us.

Erin made the difference in what could have been just a long bus ride into a pleasant experience. Her knowledge, humor, personable-ness, and driving skills all translated into a fun, full experience. The Pinnacles themselves are magnificant. To experience them in a small-group setting was nice. Glad also we could dip a toe into the Indian Ocean - a bonus.

This was an amazing experience, well worth every $. We had a stop in a community LANCELIN, don't miss the meat pies at the bakery. Experiencing the sand dunes was a hoot, what Fun we had. Then further north th the pinnacles. Every guide shared a wealth of wisdom, I learned alot...

We did this a few days ago and really enjoyed it! As describes. Danny our tour guide was so Knowledgable and had a good sense of humour. We learnt a lot and had a laugh, he knew a lot about the stars which was interesting and even tho it was a bit cloudy he still managed to explain so much and we still saw a good amount of stars!

This activity was great! Driver was very nice and friendly and he gave us very interesting explanations about places and things to visit while here in Perth. Pinnacles desert is wonderful and we had enough time to walk around and visit it. Dinner as well was good, buffet style so everyone could pick up their choices and at the end there was plenty of food for everyone. Star gazing very nice as well. Definitely recommended!!
