This isn’t your typical Pinnacles tour.
Travel in a comfortable 4WD vehicle on a desert drive designed to go beyond the usual tourist stops. This exclusive access lets you explore the Pinnacles up close and from within, not just from the edge.
Limited to a small group and hosted by a local guide, Cara offers an insiders perspective along your journey of the stunning Turquoise Coast.

Explore pristine beaches, ancient eco systems and impressive sand dunes, all at a pace that lets you fully enjoy each destination. Your coastal lunch stop is "small town famous" with endless views out over the Indian Ocean. Relax, and immerse yourself in a personalised day where every detail is taken care of.

* Our 4WD vehicle takes you places the larger buses can’t reach.
