About this tour
A 5-hour run from Perth to Nambung National Park lets you chase the Pinnacles Desert as light fades. These jagged limestone spires shift through warm hues as the sun drops, creating a landscape that feels genuinely alien. You'll travel by air-conditioned coach with a guide providing context, get picked up and dropped at selected Perth CBD hotels, and have plenty of time to shoot photos before heading back. Best for those short on time but keen to see something properly unusual.

What to expect
You'll depart Perth mid-afternoon and drive north to Nambung, roughly an hour's journey. Once there, you'll walk among thousands of weathered limestone pillars standing upright in sandy ground—the effect is genuinely striking and nothing like typical Australian landscapes. As the sun descends, the rocks glow amber and rose, which is when most people take their best shots. The guide will share how these formations developed and point out details you'd miss alone. It's not a long walk, but you'll be on your feet for a couple of hours across uneven terrain. Bring water, sunscreen, and a hat; the park offers little shade.
Good to know
Food and drinks aren't provided, so pack snacks and a full water bottle. Wear sturdy shoes for sandy, rocky ground. The tour suits prams and strollers on the main paths. Service animals welcome. Gratuities for your driver are optional. Public transport runs near the park if you prefer independent travel.
