Private Pinnacles Day Tour

After pickup, the first stop of the day for morning tea at seaside town Lancelin. Enjoy a browse of the coastal town with a delightful beach and the pristine white sand dunes. 

An island offshore was named by Captain Baudin in 1801 after P.F. Lancelin, a scientific writer. First settlement in the area dates from the 1940s when the area was used as a summer recreation area for farmers from further inland.

Next is an informative visit to the Pinnacles Desert Discovery Interpretive Centre. 

We drive into the Pinnacles Desert and tour along a four-km dirt road where you will have the unique experience of walking among the fascinating phenomenon of the Pinnacles. 

Witness on your Western Australian Pinnacles Day Tour the Pinnacles Desert that contains thousands of limestone pillars, resembling an ancient ruin.

 In geological terms, the Pinnacles are a modern phenomenon, beginning to form as 'recently' as three and a half million years ago, and appearing as they are today between two million and twenty thousand years ago. Astonishing!

Savour a delicious lunch at Cervantes, before a drive to Thirsty Point to walk along the beautiful white sandy beaches, view sparkling turquoise waters, and see the nearby islands. 

Visit Lake Thetis to view the Stromatolites, one of the earliest forms of life on our planet. 

Early cyanobacteria in stromatolites are thought to be responsible for increasing the amount of oxygen in the primeval Earth's atmosphere through their continuing photosynthesis. They were the first known organisms to photosynthesize and produce free oxygen. 

Lake Thetis Stromatolites are approximately 3000 years old. 

Another of Western Australia’s natural wonders.
