What you'll see and do
Yanchep Lagoon Beach
**This is generally only a photo stretch and look stop only. A beautiful protected sandy beach and clear blue water makes this a popular local swimming beach. An off shore reef barrier protects and shelters the lagoon and there are public change rooms and showers if you want to plan this as a swimming stop in advance. Bring appropriate swimming gear. goggles and towels if you want to go for a dip in the Indian Ocean before heading up to the Pinnacles later. Optional swim/dive determines other stop durations and inclusions in your day. Potentially consider a 45 minute stop if snorkeling is your thing.

Yanchep National Park

Two Rocks
"Imaginatively" named after the two large limestone features off the beach, Two Rocks is a quirky little seaside town with an unusual past that is worth passing through. A giant "King Neptune" statue looks out to sea and is a fun photo stop. There are also a few obscure links to the Pinnacles at the Two Rocks marina which are included in the stop.
25 minutes here
Lancelin Sand Dunes
** Optional stop for those with plenty of energy to burn, the Lancelin Sand Dunes offer a fun opportunity to hire a board and test your sand dune surfing skills! Board Hire is not included in the tour and costs $10 for an hour for one board. Goggles are recommended if its windy as sand blowing in your face can be unpleasant. If you dont want to try the sandboarding, the landscape makes for a great photo stop.

The Pinnacles
The Pinnacles Desert landscape is a natural gallery of hundreds of randomly shaped and differently coloured & sized "stones" much like a type of Stonehenge. Scientists have varying theories to their origins and you can choose the "Alien" option if you like - but the desert will leave you with more questions than answers. Sandy winding pathways enable vehicle access through the Pinnacles Desert park and there are sidings which allow temporary parking and photography stops to take place. Buses stay in the car park. This tour shows you much more as you drive into the desert. Its common for visitors to take photos of the Pinnacles Desert as a natural background landscape. There is a modern Discovery Centre at the entrance to the Desert. Displays of the wildlife and flora of the Park are also part of the Discovery Centre as well as a souvenir shop.

Cervantes
The seaside fishing town of Cervantes is a 15 minute drive north of the Pinnacles and is the preferred lunch stop for the day. There are two great restaurants to choose from which both offer the local Lobster on the menu. The Lobster Shack is the busier more well known choice and the Cervantes Bistro also offers a broad menu of seafood, steaks, pasta and drinks. Please advise which you might prefer so tables can be booked prior. Lunch is at your expense.

Great itinerary and informative
Our family had a great tour with Peter. He was happy to accommodate our itinerary and made the day interesting with his vast knowledge of the places we visited. We would recommend Peter’s tour to all without hesitation.

Great Day and Unique Experience
The pinnacles are a unique experience that must be seen to be appreciated-it’s a fascinating landscape. From start to finish, everything was simply excellent. Peter's expertise and friendly demeanor made the tour both enjoyable and educational. We were particularly impressed with his detailed knowledge and storytelling. Lunch at the Lobster Shack was also very good and it’s nice to support a local business. We highly recommend this tour for anyone that wants to see something unique and memorable.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much guys, really appreciate your lovely review & glad you enjoyed the day. Peter

We highly recommend Peter's tour
We enjoyed a tour of the Pinnacles with Peter tremendously. He contacted me in advance, which was really nice since we don't have to worry about the pick-up at the hotel (we encountered some mistake in the past with a different tour), and we made an arrangement for the drop-off. He was a delightful fun person and gave us explanations not only about the pinnacles but also about Western Australia's unique plants and the history of the area. We are quite happy that we chose Peter's tour.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pinnacles Desert Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does Pinnacles Desert Private Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $180 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 Private Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 31 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 Private Day Tour?
+
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 Private Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Pinnacles Desert Private Day Tour?
+
Around 11 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pinnacles Desert Private Day Tour 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, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour, VIP Swan Valley Wine Tour - Premium Small Group Wine & Gourmet Experience. 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.
