Itinerary
We head north away from the city towards Yanchep National Park for a quick comfort stop and an opportunity to see the koalas and kangaroos. From here we head up the coast towards the magical Pinnacle Desert to view the mystical limestone rock formations. Arriving late afternoon avoids the crowds and heat and allows for breathtaking sunsets. Experience the moon-like landscape come to life as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean and the moon rises.
Once darkness falls, we head to the fishing town of Cervantes for our included dinner in a traditional Western Australia tavern to soak up a real Australian atmosphere before heading out into the night to experience the night sky. We return to the Pinnacles Desert to the observation deck to experience the tranquillity of the national park and view the night sky without light pollution.
Return to Perth arriving at approximately 11.00pm.
TIP! Bring a pair of binoculars and download your favourite stargazing app on your phone to enhance your experience on this tour.
Please note this is a relaxed sightseeing tour rather than a professional astronomy based expedition.
