Pinnacles & Lobster Yanchep Day Tour
What your day looks like
We invite you to join us on a Pinnacles Day Experience, where we will take you to some of the most stunning natural regions along the West Coast. Enjoy a one-day getaway to some of Western Australia’s most impressive natural wonders as you leave city life behind. Guests will enjoy a visit to either the Yanchep Lavender Farm or the Yanchep Chocolate Drops Tearoom. At the Lavender Farm, indulge in treats like lavender ice cream and freshly baked scones, while the Chocolate Drops Tearoom offers a variety of exquisite chocolates and sweets. Morning tea is included, providing a delightful opportunity to relax and savour these delicious produce of the region. For lunch, we head to Cervantes, home of the renowned Lobster Shack, where you can choose from a tempting menu of delicious WA seafood. Enjoy your meal alongside a refreshing beverage while taking in the stunning coastal scenery. (Lunch is at the guest’s expense.) Take an after-lunch stroll along the Lake Thetis boardwalk to view some of the world's oldest known living fossils known as Stromatolites. 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. With our lungs full of fresh sea air, we’ll journey to Nambung National Park to witness the stunning Pinnacles Desert. These remarkable formations date back millions of years to a time when this land was submerged beneath the sea. Thousands of limestone pillars rise dramatically from the desert landscape. We’ll first stop at the Tourist Information Discovery Centre to learn about their fascinating history before walking a few hundred metres to get up close to these incredible structures. After soaking in the sights and scents of Australia’s west coast, we’ll return to Perth around 7:00pm. Meals: Lunch (not included) and morning tea (included) Driving distance: 420km. Walking distance: ~1km / 2km. *A moderate level of fitness is required to complete the walks.
