Private Pinnacles Desert Tour from Perth

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.

Next, 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.

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

For those wanting to add a little extra adventure, there’s an optional stop at Jurien Bay, a picturesque coastal town known for its crystal-clear waters and playful Australian sea lions. Guests can choose to join one of the local seal tours operated by trusted local companies, where you’ll cruise out to the nearby islands and snorkel alongside these curious and friendly creatures — an unforgettable wildlife experience! This is a separate tour run by another operator, but we’re happy to help arrange it for you in advance. If you prefer to stay on land, you can simply explore Jurien Bay’s beautiful beaches, enjoy a coffee by the ocean, or take a stroll along the jetty. It’s a relaxed and scenic stop that perfectly rounds out your coastal day trip before heading back to Perth.

On the journey back to Perth, we make a relaxing stop at Hillarys Boat Harbour, one of Perth’s most popular coastal spots. This lively marina is home to boutique shops, waterfront cafés, and stunning ocean views — the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. Enjoy a refreshing ice cream or drink by the water, take a short stroll along the boardwalk, or simply sit back and soak in the relaxed seaside atmosphere. With the sun setting over the harbour and boats gently rocking in the marina, it’s an idyllic final stop before returning to the city — a chance to reflect on the day’s adventures and enjoy one last taste of Perth’s laid-back coastal lifestyle.
