    It was very informative & interesting. The places were very beautiful . Architecture was amazing and unimaginable that it could be accomplished at that time without modern technology.

    The whole day was fascinating New Norcia unbelievable story is worth hearing Don't know what I expected at The Pinaccles but it wasn't what I saw That is a sight to behold Driver wonderful and went out of his way to drop me close to my accommodation Great day

    Enjoyable day trip

    A wonderful day. New Norcia is a place not to be missed. Extremely interesting. Pick up and transfers all good. 11 hour day. Morning tea & lovely lunch included. Pinnacles were fascinating also. Unfortunately we had a group of six non speaking English Italians that spoke very loudly during the talks making it very difficult to hear a lot of what was said. We spoke to the driver he said there was nothing he could do. To be honest he didn’t seem to care. This was very disappointing

    This Tour? Just DO it!

    Both the Abbey 'experience' and the Pinnacles were fantastic. Lunch meal could have been more enticing e.g. add a salad with the fish and chips perhaps.

    Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.

    How much does Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth cost?

    +

    Prices start at $192 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth take?

    +

    Plan for about 11.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perth is not rushed.

    Is Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth?

    +

    Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perth and add a light layer if any part of the 11.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Perth?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Perth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Optus Stadium Tour, Discover Perth Walking Tour: History, Art, Local Insights + More!, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Perth?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Perth?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Fish and Chips lunch at New Norcia; Driver/guide; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Entrance fees. Not included: Gratuities; and Food and drinks, unless specified. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 14 listed pickup locations in and around Perth. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Pinnacles Desert & New Norcia Day Tour from Perth if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
