What to expect
You'll spend the morning travelling north from Perth to Yanchep, where you'll sample regional produce before heading to Lake Thetis. The boardwalk visit is straightforward and accessible. By mid-morning, you're at Nambung National Park proper. Here the landscape shifts dramatically—you'll walk among the distinctive pale limestone pillars that rise from the sand, with the Discovery Centre providing context on how they formed. Lunch happens in the fishing village of Cervantes with views across the water. The return journey to Perth takes the late afternoon, with drop-off around 7 PM.
Good to know
Bring sun protection and comfortable walking shoes. Meals beyond Yanchep tastings and Cervantes lunch are your responsibility. The walk through Pinnacles is gentle but involves uneven ground. Seasonal wildflower displays vary—check timing if that's important. Service animals are welcome.
