Pinnacles Day Tour: Yanchep Produce, Stromatolites, Lobster Shack & Pinnacles Desert
Tour Summary
Embark on an extraordinary Pinnacles Desert Day Tour and uncover some of Western Australia’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Departing from Perth, this scenic adventure begins with a visit to either the Yanchep Lavender Farm or the Yanchep Chocolate Drops Tearoom, where you can savour delightful morning tea treats such as lavender ice cream, freshly baked scones, or handcrafted chocolates.
Next, we journey to Cervantes, home of the famous Lobster Shack, where you’ll have the option to enjoy a delicious seafood lunch while soaking in stunning coastal views. After lunch, stroll along the Lake Thetis boardwalk to see ancient stromatolites — some of the Earth’s oldest living fossils.
Continuing our adventure, we explore the region’s vibrant wildflowers (seasonal), with bursts of colour from banksias, bottlebrush, kangaroo paws, and more. The highlight of the day awaits at Nambung National Park, home to the iconic Pinnacles Desert, where thousands of ancient limestone pillars rise dramatically from the golden sands.
