Escape the city lights and experience the Pinnacles at their most magical on this sunset-to-stars adventure along Western Australia’s Coral Coast. Designed to avoid the crowds, this tour blends epic coastal scenery, ancient landscapes, and unforgettable stargazing.
Travel north from Perth to scenic coastal lookouts like Guilderton Beach Lookout, where white sand dunes meet the turquoise Indian Ocean. Depending on conditions, explore Nilgen Nature Reserve’s native bushland or enjoy a relaxed walk at Hangover Bay, with chances to spot marine life offshore.
Arrive at Nambung National Park as the afternoon light fades and the crowds disperse. Wander among the otherworldly limestone pillars of the Pinnacles Desert at sunset, when shifting colours transform the landscape.
As night falls, enjoy a locally sourced picnic dinner before stargazing under some of WA’s darkest skies using a telescope, learning about planets and constellations.

Get ready—our adventure begins soon! The bus is on its way, so grab your gear, feel the excitement, and let's hit the road!

As twilight falls, enjoy a star-filled adventure surrounded by native wildlife in the enchanting Pinnacles Desert.
Just 1.5 hours from Perth, our first stop is the seaside town of Lancelin, where you’ll stretch your legs and take in spectacular lookout views over Western Australia’s largest network of towering, snow-white sand dunes, contrasting beautifully with the turquoise Indian Ocean.

Peaking at the Pinnacles

5.00Amazing experience band our guide Alisa was awesome. The bus ride was scenic and smooth, really enjoyed the informative tapis by our guide which really brought the spots to life. Although we couldn't quite see the the stars since it was a cloudy might but we did manage to see a few kangaroos which Kore than made up for it.
Great experience

5.00A great tour and experience, the tour guide Alessia was friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable. The stop at Guilderton was perfect and the stop at Nilgen lookout was interesting. The Pinnacles desert at night is unique experience. The food and wine was great.

5.00This tour was absolutely amazing & we would like to thank Annaliese (sorry, not sure of spelling) for sharing her wealth of knowledge on the Perth & surrounding areas. Our day was totally made when two kangaroos hopped on by, as we were walking out of the Pinnacles Desert. The picnic dinner that Annaliese prepared was very generous & much appreciated. Also your star gazing knowledge made the night extremely enjoyable, thank you so much for everything Annaliese, you're the best!!
Amazing tour with the best guide

5.00My guide, Eren (who wore a unique hat with badges and had her hair in braids), was professional, cheerful, and had a great voice. I was so satisfied with her guiding style and itinerary. I could be fully immersed in my own journey even though there were many people. The pickup bus was convenient, and the dinner was also great!! I highly recommend this tour with her :)

5.00The tour was amazing and the tour guide was very informative, kind and helpful. The pinnacles as well as the star gazing are a good tick off my bucket list. Thank you for the amazing tour.

3.00Nice new vehicle and polite guide. We stopped at a small coastal town for a rest break and were advised to buy water from the general store as it was not provided. The second stop at a burnt out wildflower meadow seemed a pit pointless as the only thing to see was charred plants and there were no toilets at this stop. When we reached the pinnacles the guide pointed towards the discovery centre and the path towards the limestone formations. She did not accompany us and instead began setting up our picnic next to the car park. I noticed other tours had driven into the reserve as I was walking around: Dinner was simple supermarket salads and deli meats. There wasn’t enough room for everyone to sit a table and some of us ended up perched on a cold concrete fence to eat dinner: The star gazing was good and the guide was able to point out the planets and constellations. It was not as dark as it could have been as we were next to the carpark with people constantly coming and going.
Enjoyable tour and beautiful views

5.00A wonderful experience. This was a mother's day gift from my children. The bus was neat and clean and not overcrowded. Erin was our driver and tour guide. She was knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. The stop off at Guilderton was beautiful. The Pinnacles experience was enjoyable and after Erin's informative talk there was plenty of time to enjoy the 'museum' and wander the Pinnacles at your own pace. This was followed by a delicious dinner under the stars and despite the clouds, stargazing too. I highly recommend this tour.
Amazing!
