Pinnacles Desert, Koalas And Sandboarding 4wd Day Tour From Perth

Amazing day trip! It was a total of around 11.5 hours depending on the pick-up time and location, which are all across Perth CBD. The day consists of; Caversham Wildlife Park where you can take a photo with a wombat and koala, Cervantes with lunch at The Lobster Shack, which was great. Followed by a stop at the Pinnacles, 4wd and sandboarding in Lancelin. The overall price includes all admission fees for each stop and lunch too. Our guide/driver was great at pointing things out along the way and friendly!

Great day trip. I travelled without a car so having this option to see the pinnacles and a tad more of the west coast was fab. Was a full on day and fair bit of driving but I actually enjoyed this. Plenty of rests and activities throughout the day. The 4 by 4 sand dune experience was wild! Highly recommend

The trip to visit the pinnacles was a fantastic day out. We really enjoyed the visit to caversham wildlife park, was great to get up close to animals such as koalas and kangaroos. The pinnacles are such a phenomenal place to visit, how did they get there?! Highlight of the day for us was sand boarding, something I didn't even know existed, such great fun! We had fish and chips provided during the trip, the fish was extremely tasty. Throughout the tour, Colin was friendly, knowledgeable and very funny.

Along with seeing and walking amongst the fascinating Pinnacles, the animal park, lobster farm and dune experiences add up to making this an incredible day, but the major star of the experience was our driver, stopping along the way to view interesting flora, talking about the local fauna and the lives of the local Aussies and offer pearls of wisdom about the first nation community. All in all, a great intro to WA! Thank you.

Pinnacles Tours is a quality tour company. The itinerary included in the package exceeded our expectations. Logistics, toilet stops and lunch venue were well-thought out. So glad to have taken up this package which supports businesses and smaller towns in WA. Prompt and professional responses from customer service line. Special mention to our tour guide + driver on Sun 28 Sep 2025 - JAMIE. Jamie is truly excellent. He is polite and professional, takes great care in his work. He took the effort to remember where passengers were from, took down details of where we each would like to be dropped off end of day. Throughout the drive, he spent a lot of time sharing details about WA and places where we passed. For a one-man show, it was really impressive, considering the trip was a long one (we were picked up from 7.30am and dropped off 7pm, with 4 major stops/activities throughout the day). He was tireless, right till the end when it was getting late towards drop-off, he was still the same professional person as he was at 7.30am. Felt very safe dozing off during the long drives between stops as he presented as a reliable driver. Really appreciate the pride and care with which Jamie carried out his profession, especially it being a Sunday what more. Please convey our deepest thanks to Jamie for such a wonderful job done that all 24 of us had such a great day and safe journeys!

It was a great tour experience going to the Pinnacles with our tour guide. She shared with us many interesting things about Perth and the one that interested me the most was the one about the Pinnacles. Overall, we enjoyed the trip. Thank you to Beck! She have been a great and wonderful guide! ☺️

The highlight of this trip was the animals. This was my first time to see a wombat and a koala. I would have liked more time at the zoo, but I understand there was a big day ahead of us and time was limited.

We were picked up in the city and started our way at the Caversham wildlife park and it felt like we got vip access seeing up close the animals before the park opened to the public, we then drove up to lancillin where we went sand surfing which was amazing!!!! Then we drove up to Cervantes to the lobster shack and the food was delicious, lastly to the pinnacles. Our driver was fabulous and quite educational and you can tell he really loves his job, he was English but knew more about Australia than I do as an Aussie 🤣 he even dropped us directly outside our hotel with our kids, he was very accomodating! The only recommendation I would have is making the pinnacles a bit shorter and the sand surfing a bit longer.

Fab day, a brilliant mixture of activities outside the city. Coach really comfortable. Driver Lee was excellent, lots of really interesting info on the way. Lunch was great at Lobster Shack, worth upgrading on the day to include Lobster.

It was a full day with animal park, lobster processing tour, The Pinnacles and off-roading the sand dunes. I enjoyed it all. Our driver, Lee, was personable, knowledgeable and professional. Damian, our 4x4 driver provided an adventurous tour through the dunes. Highly recommended.

The coach driver gave us lots of information, and was very interesting. We didn’t have enough time at the sand boarding despite getting back to Perth an hour early! The 4WD could have gone over bigger dunes. Lunch at Cervantes was disappointing. Despite paying an extra $25, we only got half a crayfish and were seated at the very back of a very empty restaurant so couldn’t see the views. It seemed that the restaurant didn’t really want us there. The pinnacles could have been done on a bus as there wasn’t much to explore. Also we weren’t prepared for the sheer number of flies! The wildlife park was very staged.

It’s a must when you are in WA. Anton is tue best tour guide and good driver. He has strong passion!

It was amazing day full of adveturs seeing the animals feeding the kangooros being on the 4w truck good driving Paul and sandbording the bizarre pinnacle desert good driving and comentery funy and informetiv thank you Lucas Good food and tour at the lobster shak All the best from the other side of the world Iceland. Traveld on the 8 of may.

Driver was late, untidy, treated people like children and had attitude problem. I could tell from the start he couldn't wait for day to finish.

Driver was amazing Food was also amazing Didn’t expect so many thing in one day It was Sunday but this trip made it a funday

This was a great trip stopping at the New Norcia (Norcia Benedictine Monastery ) town and the pinnacles. I’d been to the Norcia Benedictine Monastery in 2010 but the covid pandemic has knocked it around but still worth seeing. The pinnacles are just amazing.

I enjoyed White man park taking photos with kengooroos, koalas and wombats. Fun activities in desert to sand board and drive 4x4. Lunch was incredible tasty. And the deser was nice place to spend some time before going back. The driver was informative and helpful.

A very full day. Lee was a great driver/guide keeping us informed and on time. I particularly loved our time with the kangaroos and at the lobster shack. Very well organised. Would recommend.

Our trip to the Pinnacles and Lancelin was an unforgettable experience. We began with a visit to Caversham Wildlife Park, followed by a delicious fish and chips lunch at 1:30 PM. The Pinnacles Desert offered breathtaking views, but the scorching heat limited our time there to quick photo stops. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the Lancelin sand dunes. The thrilling ride over the dunes was exhilarating, and sandboarding added an extra layer of excitement. It was an adventurous day filled with fun, stunning landscapes, and unforgettable memories. Definitely a trip worth taking!

It’s too big bus with stress for thé stop(driver was very exigent) Drive in thé sand was not intéressant Thé lunch was bad (not hot, no salt, no coffre or anuthing) I had impression of goods that you transport

This was the perfect day tour from Perth! It had all the elements to make an exciting day! We started at the Caversham Wildlife Park where we hand-fed kangaroos and saw koalas and a wombat up close. I really appreciated the VIP experience at the park, where we had a dedicated guide and were able to skip all of the lines. We were able to hand feed the kangaroos right when they open, so the kangaroos were hungry. :-) A highlight of the tour was sand boarding at the Lancelin sand dunes, and the Pinnacles were my absolute favorite. The lighting was just spectacular too (even if the wind was nuts). The driver/guide Jonathan was so easy-going and had a great sense of humor, and looked out for me with my special dietary need at the Lobster Shack. He also made sure that we were running on time. A few tips if you take the tour: 1) Bring some water and snacks — the stop for lunch was around 2 PM 2) Bring some baby wipes or extra water to rinse off after the sand dunes – – the sand gets *everywhere* 3) When at the Pinnacles, it’s difficult to find the trailhead on the way back, because it’s not well marked and everything looks alike. I suggest pinning it to your phone map or pinning the parking lot so you can easily get back. Also, the walking trail from the parking lot to the Pinnacles and back is a good few minutes, so make sure you account for that on your way there/back. 4) If you’re planning to bring a drone, please know that the sand dunes and the Pinnacles are very, very windy, so the wind might be too strong. According to Jonathan, one visitor lost his drone at the dunes, and when I tried at the Pinnacles, I got a very strong wind warning on the drone and could only keep it up in the air for about a minute.

Loved everything about this full day tour. Worth every dollar. An experience I will never forget. Highly recommend

Driver/guide jonathan was great. Time at Caversham was very short. Fish and chips lunch was excellent (huge portion). Pinnacles was terrific enough time to explore but note museum closes at 16:30 so go first if you have time.

Great from start to finish. A lot is packed in to this whole day tour but there’s never a dull moment. Our tour guide Jonathan kept us educated and entertained throughout. Seeing the animals up close at Caversham wildlife sanctuary was really special; the 4WD dune trip and sandboarding was memorable, the fish and chip lunch delicious and the Pinnacles desert experience stunning. Highly recommend

Great trip that is worth the money! I wish the zoo had been a little longer, but feeding the kangaroos was amazing and the koala was so cute!!! The guide was knowledgeable too - just wish we had more time as much more to see. The gift shop was really cheap too so if you want cuddly toys, etc, get them here. We then went on to the 4WD dune busting and sandboarding. Fantastic. The guy driving was lovely too. Great fun!! Then on to the lobster factory. The tour was a little strange (not a lot to see), but lunch was good. My brother had fish and chips and I upgraded to the lobster. Nice food. Then we went to the Pinnacles. Quite surreal. Very windy on the day we went, but worth the visit. Coach driver was a nice guy. A great deal of things to see in one day and worth every penny of the money paid. 100% recommended.

Except for the lobster farm I enjoyed all the stops in this tour! The wildlife parc was great, especially feeding the kangurus. Sandboarding was awsome, I loved it. The pinnacles were really exiting. The only esxpectation, which I did not like too much, was the lobster farm. The guide there was not very motivated and I thought to learn more about these animals. This way it was just a show of a product rather than an animal.

Pinnacles desert is a gem, different even for Australian standards Sandboarding 4WD was great as well as the wild animal park It’s a very short visit in each site but helps to give a first approach to the area:) The driver is very knowledgeable and keeps passengers entertained

Loved the day, great Guide and really good enjoyed the combination included!!! Fun the sand boarding, excellent 4wd and loved the fish & chips.

Everything was good, comfortable bus & family enjoying this tours a lot. Will let my friends & visit know

It was a memorable trip. Our guide Mr Gordon was friendly and professional in his duty. Pick up from nearby our hotel in CBD is great and highly appreciated. However the lobster shack lunch is quite late and we only have less than an hour to enjoy. The sand boarding is fun and exciting however there were too many flies in lancelin and pinnacles. Great day trip..

An enjoyable experience - the sand dunes are great and the wildlife park visit was brilliant, the pinnacles less so. The lunch was good too. Bring lots of sunscreen, you're going to need it.

It was a pleasure journey. The tour guides are nice and helpful. The scenery is wonderful. See you next time.

Great bus driver with excellent commentary. Good variety of activities. Caversham wildlife park was amazing. Great seafood lunch at the Lobster Shack

I regret to rate this experience with only 3 stars due to a significant letdown; our time at the Pinnacles was a mere 30 minutes due to schedule delays. The rest of the tour, including Caversham Wildlife Park and the exhilarating sandboarding, was enjoyable, and the lobster shack served a delightful lunch. However, the brief stop at the Pinnacles meant we had scarcely enough time to disembark and snap a quick photo of the nearest formations. It’s unclear if this rush was to manage the various tour groups efficiently, but the limited time to appreciate the stunning geological wonders was truly disappointing.

Fun ,exciting, thrilling experience in this dessert pinnacle tour.It was nice to be with this tour having friendly guides and yummy meal.

Unfortunately I have to give only 3 stars, because I was really disappointed by the fact the we stopped only for 30 minutes at the Pinnacles, as apparently we were "a little" behind of schedule. All the rest was fine, from the Caversham Wildlife Park to the sandboarding experience and the tour with lunch at the lobster shack. The lunch was really good, actually, but when we headed to the Pinnacles we barely had time to get off the bus and reach the closest pinnacles to take at least a picture. I do not know if that happened because the bus drivers were trying to organise the different groups on the different buses in a way to avoid overlapping each other's scheduled activities, but is was really frustrating that we could not stay longer and have the chance to admire these amazing geological structures.

We really enjoyed this tour. It was diversified and “Australian”. Our tour director was knowledgeable and easy to listen to.

This is the second time I have done this tour with my first being back in 2011. I loved it so much I did it again on revisiting Perth. The staff are great, the tour is timed perfectly to allow you enough time at each stop so you can return to Perth by about 6:30pm. Pick and up and drop off at major hotels are included. Would definitely recommend it!

This is definitely worth going for. Many attractions in one day. First stop Caversham Wildlife- adorable koala, kangaroo, woombat. You got a chance to feed kangaroos, touch the animals and take photos with them. Next was Lancelin sand dune- adventurous 4x4 bus ride going through the hilly sand dune like going on a roller coaster. You then get to do sand boarding- a must try! After that headed to lobster shack in a fishing village Cervantes for lunch. Finally to the Nambung National Park to experience fantastic view of the pinnacle dessert. Really enjoyed the trip. Good narrative by the tour driver Pete.

I always tour with a group of friends or with my family thats fun for me. Still I had fun even Im solo and joining with the other tourists.i love the tour the it was an educational and the driver lead us what we gonna do… its all fun love the tour.

Our guide Gordon was excellent. He was very knowledgable on every part of the trip and made it a very interesting and memorable time.

Very exciting experience. Gordon drove us very comfortably snd was really entertaining with insightful facts on Western Australia

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided ongoing historical insights of vegetation, farming, aboriginal stories and historical challenges along the way ( guide was Pete) excellent operation and I would highly recommend families with teen children to learn and appreciate our Australian culture, embracing the good and bad I. Totality.

Sandboarding & Koala experience, exciting & a day to remember. I am over 75 & was very well instructed & looked after sandboarding.

Excellent trip with great informative coach driver. It is a long day but you will fit so much into it. Well worth doing, highly recommended

The tour bus driver is good, helpful & professional in his job. He shared history, stories n guide us along the tour. A superb tour leader n made our trip a memorable one ! Thank you

a very well organized tour, there are many things to see, but the time given is sufficient, certainly each activity would be worth staying even for half a day, but in the end you are left happy, the driver is kind, and assists you in everything, with lots of stories about the realities you are visiting

What a great day trip! Covered so much in a little amount of time! Everything was well done & executed flawlessly! We loved all 4 stops
