About this tour
This 11.5-hour drive north from Perth combines wildlife encounters with desert exploration. Start at Caversham Wildlife Park to hand-feed kangaroos and spot koalas, then head to the coastal town of Cervantes for fish and chips before reaching Nambung National Park. The highlight is walking through the Pinnacles—a stark limestone landscape that resembles an alien terrain—followed by a 4WD adventure across Lancelin's massive sand dunes with the option to try sandboarding.

What to expect
Your day starts with a wildlife park visit where you'll interact directly with Australian fauna. After an hour's drive to Cervantes, you'll grab lunch overlooking the coast before heading inland to Nambung. The Pinnacles walk takes you through thousands of metre-high limestone pillars emerging from golden sand—genuinely eerie and photogenic. The afternoon shifts gear entirely: you'll board a 4WD for a 45-minute dune run at Lancelin, bouncing over crests and soft patches. Sandboarding happens here if you're keen, though it requires decent balance. Expect dust, wind, and a fair bit of jostling. Return to Perth by early evening.
Good to know
Not suitable if pregnant or with spinal injuries. Children under 4 can't join the 4WD dune section. Bring sunscreen and a hat—there's little shade. Soft sand can cause delays. Let the operator know dietary requirements at booking. Moderate fitness needed for the Pinnacles walk.
