This full-day guided tour from Perth threads together Western Australia’s coastal and desert moods: early wildlife viewing in Yanchep National Park, a seafood lunch in the fishing village of Cervantes, a walk among the otherworldly limestone pinnacles rising from golden dunes, a sandboarding run on the Lancelin dunes, and a late-afternoon drive through Swan Valley’s wine country.

THE WILDLIFE

Yanchep’s koalas and kangaroos

Begin with wildlife viewing at Yanchep National Park, where you can observe kangaroos and koalas in natural bushland before the day pushes north along the coast.

THE SANDSTONE SPECTACLE

THE ACTIVE MOMENT

Dunes, lobster and a wine-country finish

Savour fresh Western Rock Lobster in Cervantes, try sandboarding on the Lancelin dunes for a dose of adrenaline, then wind down with a scenic drive through Swan Valley’s vineyards and local producers.
