From Perth: The Pinnacles Desert Sunset and Star-Gazing Tour – Perth, Australia

EXPERIENCE

Discover the magic of the Pinnacles Desert on a guided tour. Head west to the Turquoise Coast and keep an eye out for native wildlife.

Stop in Lancelin for a walk along the beach. Experience the thrill of sandboarding down giant sand dunes. Board the bus and visit Ngilgen Lookout to see seasonal wildflowers (spring time only) and admire views over the Indian Ocean.

Go for a guided walk on the beach at Hangover Bay to see native plants that were used by the Aboriginals for food and medicine when they lived off the land. If we stop at Nilgen Nature Reserve we normally don’t have time to stop here as well.

Enjoy dinner in the middle of the the Pinnacles Desert, accompanied by a glass of Margaret River wine. See the sunset over the Indian Ocean and later marvel at the stars with the help of Astro binoculars and a telescope. 

See the Rings of Saturn (in season) through the telescope and photograph the moon by attaching your smartphone to the telescope.
