Escape the city for a day of breathtaking scenery and wildlife spotting. Just 1.5 hours from Perth, our first stop is the coastal town of Lancelin. Here you can stretch your legs and enjoy the spectacular views over Western Australia’s largest network of snow-white sand dunes, which contrast with the turquoise Indian Ocean.

We then explore the colorful Nilgen Nature Reserve, which blooms in season with banksias, bottlebrush, grass trees, kangaroo paws and heather plants. When the flowers aren’t in bloom, head to Hangover Bay, where you can dip your feet in the crystal clear waters or watch playful dolphins and sea lions.

With fresh sea air in our lungs, we drive on to Nambung National Park to experience the mysterious Pinnacles Desert at sunset. The ancient limestone pillars, formed from shells millions of years old, glow in changing colors in the evening light – a perfect moment to enjoy the landscape without the crowds and feel like you’re on an alien planet.

After dark, a delicious picnic dinner with a glass of local sparkling wine (included) awaits you under the vast outback sky. Afterwards, a fascinating star show begins: watch the stars through our telescope and listen to Aboriginal Dreamtime stories that connect you to the cosmos and the timeless wonders above.
