What to expect
You'll board a fixed-wing aircraft in Perth for a scenic flight to Cervantes, tracking the WA coastline en route. After landing, a short drive takes you into Nambung National Park where you'll explore the Pinnacles on foot—an eerie landscape of grey limestone pillars scattered across sand. Bring a camera; the formations create striking photo compositions from ground level. Back in the air, the same desert transforms perspective. Flying low over the spires reveals their scale and density, then the pilot heads towards the 'dead pinnacles'—eroded structures visible solely from above, adding mystery to this final leg.
