Pinnacles Day Tour

to Hangover Bay, a beautiful beach known for its wildlife.  As you wander the white sands, keep an eye out for bottlenose dolphins and Australian sea lions which can often be spotted here.  There may even be time for a swim! We include a picnic dinner so you only need to bring snacks for the afternoon or purchase snacks at chocolate drops cafe.

Then end your day with a visit to the amazing Pinnacles Desert in Nambung National Park. Walk through the wondrous limestone formations and watch as the colours change during the golden last hours of daylight.  Explore the unique stacks as they glow just before the sunsets over the beautiful Indian Ocean. We then make our way back to Perth, arriving in the late evening.

Visit Yanchep National Park

Yanchep National Park spreads over 2,800 hectares of natural bushland and is known for its caves, kangaroos, and koala population. The beautiful parklands will be our first stop for the day where guests will have the option to join a 45 minute guided tour of Crystal Cave, a stunning limestone cavern with stalactites and stalagmites following an underground crystal clear stream.  Alternatively, join us on a stroll along the Koala boardwalk and parklands with wild Kangaroos and many beautiful photo opportunities.

Note: At times we may not be able to access Yanchep National Park we will instead spend time visiting the sand dunes of Lancelin.

Visit at a gourmet chocolate shop

Visit Chocolate Drops café, a specialty handmade chocolate shop with an array of ‘Australian’ themed handmade chocolate. Free time included to purchase lunch or a coffee (own expense) in the tea rooms or outdoors amongst the gum trees and kangaroos.

Pinnacles Desert Tour

Enjoy a guided walking tour through the Pinnacles Desert in the late afternoon sun, surrounded by mystical rock formations. There are hundreds of limestone stacks spread over 190 hectares and the long shadows and orange light of the golden hours before sunset provide stunning photo opportunities.  Watch the sun sink over the Indian Ocean to finish off this perfect day.

Traditional Owners

Autopia Tours would like to begin by paying our respects to the traditional owners of this country. Please be conscious and respectful of the sensitivities of indigenous culture and the spiritual connection they have with the land at all times.

Wildlife Encounters

The natural behaviours of wildlife are to be respected and not interfered with. When viewing wildlife, people should take care to avoid rapid or sudden movements, which could frighten the animal, and should keep noise to a minimum and refrain from touching, petting or feeding all wildlife including birds. Contact with people can introduce diseases to wildlife and can cause them to become aggressive.

Wildlife should not be handled or fed, unless by certified wildlife handlers. Feeding wildlife can alter their natural foraging behaviour and can lead to disease or illness through contact with people and the introduction of foods that are harmful to their digestive system. Feeding wildlife can also cause them to become aggressive toward people.

Wildlife that appears to be in distress, injured or in danger should be reported immediately to the appropriate authority, such as your Guide/Tour Leader, a National Park Ranger or Visitor Centre Staff.

Protecting our National Parks

People should remain on designated walking tracks, behind safety barriers/fences and follow all directions given by the guide/tour leader. Venturing off these can alter fragile ecosystems and can harm wildlife shelters and native vegetation. There are other dangers to be aware of too, such as cliff edges, unstable rock formations, overhanging tree branches and slippery ground cover. Remaining on tracks ensures safe visitation for guests and the environment.

No flora or fauna should be removed from their natural setting. This includes dead wood, fallen leaves, flowers and so forth, as they form part of the ecosystem of the region and their removal could cause a disturbance.

Waste Management

All buses are fitted with waste bins. No organic waste should be disposed of onto the ground. Although organic, items such as banana peels, apple cores, bread and other food scraps, are not natural/native to the region and can introduce pest species, diseases or harm to wildlife if found and eaten. We recommend all passengers bring a water bottle with you on our Pinnacles Day Tour. Purchasing bottled water contributes large amounts of plastic into the landfill. Therefore, we ask guests to bring their own bottle, as there is access to water refill stations available on our vehicles. Please ensure you stay hydrated throughout the tour to reduce the risk of sun exposure and dehydration.

First Aid

All our guides carry a current Level 2 First Aid certificate. Please report any accident or illness to your tour guide. We recommend anyone with an existing medical condition to carry their medication with them on tour and to notify their tour guide at the beginning of the tour.

If you are a smoker! We ask you to refrain from smoking whilst in the company of other passengers and limit it to designated smoking areas. Smoking is not permitted on any of our vehicles, or in any type of accommodation including permanent campsites. We make frequent ‘comfort stops’ to allow free time for guests but cannot guaranteed smoke breaks. Please ensure you dispose of your cigarette butt responsibly and appropriately.
