About this tour
Head out from Perth to the Pinnacles, a stark limestone landscape that transforms under fading light. This eight-hour evening tour captures the desert as the sun dips below the horizon, then settles in for stargazing under genuinely dark skies—the kind of clarity you won't find near the city. Watch the landscape shift colour as day gives way to night, spot constellations without light pollution, then refuel with dinner at a local pub. Hotel pickup and afternoon tea included.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your Perth hotel and driven by coach to the Pinnacles in Nambung National Park. Afternoon tea arrives partway through the trip. Once at the desert, spend time exploring the stark stone pillars as the light shifts—the real magic happens during that window between dusk and full dark, when the landscape glows amber then fades to silhouette. After sunset, the sky gradually reveals itself: planets first, then familiar constellations, then fainter stars as your eyes adjust. Dinner follows at a nearby tavern before the return journey to your hotel. The whole experience is weather-dependent; cloud cover or strong winds may shorten proceedings or affect visibility.
Good to know
Bring layers—the desert evening cools quickly. Confirm dietary requirements at booking. Moderate fitness needed for walking the landscape. Weather can curtail viewing or tour length. Children need adult supervision. Infants sit on a parent's lap. Gratuities aren't included.
