ITINERARY:
Join us on tour for a Pinnacles Day Tour exploring some of the West Coast’s
most stunning natural regions. Enjoy a star-studded adventure of twinkling
twilight and wildlife in the native wonderland of the Pinnacles.
Leave behind city life for a one-day treat to some of Western Australia’s best
natural wonders.
After 1.5 hours from Perth, we stop to stretch our legs and take in the views
from Lancelin lookout, home to the largest network of sand dunes in Western
Australia. These gigantic snow-white dunes are a stark contrast to the
glistening turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean in the distance.
Shake the sand out of your shoes, before we travel on to the Nilgen Nature
Reserve. In a region abundant with flora and fauna, we’ll wander through a
kaleidoscopic of wildflowers, including the likes of banksias, bottlebrush,
heath, grass trees, and kangaroo paws; all bursting with life, when in season.
If the flowers are in hiding, we’ll instead head over to Hangover Bay, where
you can dip your toes in the crystal-clear waters or spot the likes of
bottlenose dolphins and sea lions.
With our lungs full of fresh sea air, it’s time to journey on to the Nambung
National Park to witness the remarkable Pinnacles desert at sunset. Made up
of shells, the Pinnacles date back millions of years to a time when the land
was beneath the sea. Best explored at dusk when the crowds evaporate and the
thousands of limestone pillars rise eerily out of the desert; watch the
colours change over the rocks, creating a lunar-like atmosphere.
Enjoy a Picnic dinner accompanied by a glass of local product wine (all
included), while we settle in for a spectacular light show of natural wonder,
beneath the sky. As the darkness sets, it’s time to marvel at the other-
worldly beauty of the stars and planets, swirling high above. Listen to the
ancient stories of the Aboriginal Dreamtime and gaze light-years away.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Autopia Tours - Western Australia
This rating is for the Autopia management. Unfortunately couldn’t join as right the night before our daughter had an accident and spent the night at the hospital. At the doctor’s recommendation we had to cancel the plan. We found no understanding for refund from Autopia, they decided is fair to charge us full cost, even more as I booked 3 days before the tour date and I had to cancel 1 day before, so it’s obvious we were not critical for the tour to take place. Moreover, communication with the 2 agents was ambiguous, each stating different reasons, for which they are entitled to ‘steal’ our money. Awful experience and discretionary travel policy…
