About this tour

What to expect
Departure from Perth includes air-conditioned transport with large windows for unobstructed sightseeing. Upon arrival at Nambung, you'll walk through the otherworldly Pinnacles landscape with your guide's commentary. The afternoon unfolds across scenic stops—Hangover Bay's coastline and Guilderton Lookout's sweeping dune vistas—as light shifts towards golden hour. Once the sun dips below the horizon, the real spectacle begins: your guide positions the telescope for celestial viewing (weather permitting) while you recline under stars enjoying locally-sourced Australian fare and wine. Plan for moderate walking across several locations; bring 1.5 litres of water and appropriate layered clothing—outback temperatures swing dramatically between seasons.
