About This Tour
Fly from Perth to Cervantes along WA’s coastline of beaches, shipwrecks and bushland. After landing, we drive you to the Pinnacles Desert, a curious network of tall limestone pillars that seem to stand in the middle of nowhere – perfect for exploring and photos.
Then take to the skies over the desert for a new appreciation of its scale, and over the mysterious Dead Pinnacles, a second group of pillars hidden in the bush that can only be seen from the air.
Discover The Pinnacles Desert (Nambung National Park)
In Nambung National Park near Cervantes, thousands of limestone pillars – some up to 3.5 metres tall – rise from bright yellow sand. They formed from ancient seashells that broke down into lime-rich sand, were cemented into limestone, and were later exposed as the sand blew away.
Walking among them feels otherworldly, and seeing them from the air reveals just how vast the field is. Nearby, Lake Thetis is home to stromatolites, living structures similar to some of the earliest life on Earth.
Must-See in The Pinnacles Desert
- The Pinnacles Desert walk trail
