Rules
Tips
- Duration: About 10 hours.
- Departure / return: Departing from central Perth in the morning, returning later in the day.
- Best time to visit: Cooler months (March to November) are ideal for outdoor activities and walks. Late morning to early afternoon departures suit those who want a full-day without ultra-early start.
- Distance: The tour travels north from Perth to the bushland and desert areas — expect 1.5-2 hours travel to major stops depending on traffic and route.
- Transfers: Round-trip transport from Perth is included, using a comfortable vehicle.
- Comfortable walking shoes – Essential for bush tracks at Yanchep and sandy paths in the Pinnacles.
- Hat, sunscreen & sunglasses – You’ll be outdoors at multiple stops with little shade.
- Refillable water bottle – Stay hydrated during the bush walk, vineyard visit, and desert stop.
- Light, breathable clothing – Ideal for warm afternoons; add a light layer if it cools down later.
- Camera or phone – For wildlife sightings, Swan Valley vineyard views, and the Pinnacles’ unique limestone formations.
- Small daypack – Handy for carrying snacks, water, and your essentials comfortably throughout the day.
- Comfortable transport – Travel in an air-conditioned coach with commentary and regular comfort stops.
- Restrooms available – Restroom breaks are made at key stops throughout the day.
- Not wheelchair accessible – Walking on sand and uneven ground makes this tour unsuitable for wheelchairs or prams.
- Moderate walking required – Expect short walks on sandy paths and natural terrain at both parks.
- Follow guide instructions at all stops—wildlife areas, vineyards, and the Pinnacles have specific safety and conservation guidelines.
- Stay on designated walking paths to protect fragile desert formations and avoid unsafe terrain.
- Do not touch, feed, or approach wildlife, including kangaroos and koalas, to keep both you and the animals safe.
- No climbing or leaning on Pinnacles limestone structures—they are fragile and easily damaged.
- Supervise children at all times, especially near wildlife and on sandy, uneven desert ground.
- Be mindful in tasting venues—drink responsibly and follow cellar-door rules.
- Keep to the schedule so the tour can complete all stops comfortably before returning to Perth.
- Dispose of rubbish properly to preserve national park and vineyard environments.
- Taste lightly in Swan Valley – There are multiple stops, so small sips help you enjoy everything without feeling rushed.
- Use burst mode for wildlife photos – Animals move quickly, and this increases your chances of getting a clear shot.
- Buy local treats early – Popular chocolates and produce in Swan Valley can sell out by late afternoon.
- Walk the edges of Pinnacles fields first – You’ll often find fewer crowds and cleaner photo angles away from the main path.
- Look out for emus on the drive – They’re sometimes spotted near the highway or park entry roads.
