About this tour
This 9-hour tour ventures north from Perth to Nambung National Park, timing your arrival as day visitors clear out. You'll catch the Pinnacles Desert's limestone formations shifting through golden hour, then settle in for stargazing under Western Australia's clearest night skies. The route loops through coastal lookouts and nature reserves where you might spot marine life, before a locally sourced picnic dinner and telescope session round out the evening.

What to expect
Depart Perth mid-afternoon and drive north through changing coastal terrain. Your guide will pause at scenic vantage points—Guilderton Beach Lookout offers sweeping ocean views, and depending on conditions, you'll either walk through native bushland at Nilgen or take an easier stroll at Hangover Bay with eyes peeled for offshore wildlife. You'll reach Nambung as the afternoon light softens, giving you solitude among the Pinnacles' strange stone formations as colours deepen. After dinner under fading light, the telescope comes out once proper darkness sets in, and your guide walks you through what's visible overhead—planets, star clusters, the works.
Good to know
Bring a jumper: desert nights cool quickly. The telescope session depends on clear skies, though stargazing happens regardless. Service animals are welcome. Transport includes inner-city Perth pickups. Travel insurance isn't included but is recommended.
