Koalas, pillars and a Swan Valley tasting

An easy-paced coach day that stops for koalas at Yanchep National Park, walks the Pinnacles, eats fish and chips in Cervantes and ends with tastings in the Swan Valley. Pick it if you want the classic day with no adrenaline and something good to eat on the way home.

Pinnacles, Yanchep & Swan Valley Day

About this experience

Think of this as the gentle version of the koalas and 4WD day, from the same operator. The first stop is Yanchep National Park, about an hour north of Perth, where a boardwalk runs past the koala enclosure and western grey kangaroos graze on the lawns and the golf course. One guest singled out the tea and biscuits. Then it is the long run up to Nambung National Park for an easy-paced walk among the pillars.

Lunch is fish and chips in Cervantes, included. On the way back the coach turns into the Swan Valley, Perth's wine and food strip on the city's north-east edge, for tastings at selected producers. The listing calls them tastings of locally made artisan produce at a providore, so expect local food and drink products rather than a full winery visit. For a proper cellar door, look at the wine day.

The honest bits. You reach the pinnacles around the middle of the day, the hottest and flattest light, and there is no sunset. The listing says kangaroo sightings at Yanchep are not guaranteed, and the tour is not suitable for wheelchair users. One 2024 guest noted that a lobster factory visit shown in older marketing was not on the itinerary, so book it for what the current listing says.

  • Koalas from the boardwalk at Yanchep National Park
  • Wild western grey kangaroos, if they turn up

Tips before you book

  • Bring cash or a card for Swan Valley shops. Tastings are included; the jars you take home are not.
  • A hat and water matter most at the midday Pinnacles stop, above all from December to March.
  • Wild kangaroos at Yanchep are most often seen on the open grass. Keep a camera handy as you pull in.
  • If you're already planning a Swan Valley afternoon on another day, pick a different Pinnacles tour.
