Golden Horizons, Iconic Landscapes – All Accessible on Tour

There’s nothing quite like a Western Australian sunset. The vast skies, dramatic landscapes, and endless horizons create the perfect canvas for nature’s evening show. Whether it’s the burnt-orange glow over ancient desert formations or the soft light fading into the Indian Ocean, WA offers some of the most memorable sunset spots in the country.

With Australian Pinnacle Tours, you don’t have to navigate the backroads or watch the clock. We make it easy to witness the state’s best sunset locations with guided experiences that combine comfort, convenience, and local insight.

Here are five of the best sunset spots in WA - each one accessible via one of our tours.

The Pinnacles Desert – Nambung National Park

Why it’s special:
As the sun lowers, the towering limestone pillars of the Pinnacles Desert are cast in long shadows and warm, golden tones. The surrounding dunes and sky shift through brilliant colours, creating a surreal and cinematic landscape.

How to get there:
Our Pinnacles Stargazing Tour is the ideal way to experience this iconic location. Arrive just in time for golden hour, enjoy a sunset walk through the desert, and stay for a guided stargazing session under some of the clearest night skies in the world.

Kalbarri Skywalk – Kalbarri National Park

Why it’s special:
Perched high above the dramatic Murchison River Gorge, the Kalbarri Skywalk provides sweeping views over red rock cliffs and rugged terrain. At sunset, the gorge is bathed in deep, rich colours, with the changing light revealing the incredible textures of the landscape.

How to get there:
Kalbarri Skywalk is accessible by road and located within Kalbarri National Park, approximately a 6.5-hour drive north of Perth. A national park entry fee applies, and the site is best visited in the late afternoon to take full advantage of the changing light over the gorge. Sealed roads lead directly to the Skywalk, with well-maintained facilities and walking trails nearby.

Margaret River Coastline – Surfers Point & Redgate Beach

Why it’s special:
The Margaret River region is known for its dramatic coastlines, and sunset here is something special. At places like Surfers Point, you can watch the sun sink into the ocean while surfers ride the last waves of the day. Redgate Beach offers a more secluded, peaceful setting with striking rock formations and uninterrupted views.

How to get there:
Our Margaret River, Chocolate, Nougat, Wine & Coastal Tour takes you through the best of the region, finishing the day with a relaxing coastal stop to unwind and enjoy the scenery before heading back.

Rottnest Island – West End Boardwalk & Pinky Beach

Why it’s special:
Rottnest Island’s western edge offers some of the most untouched sunset views in the state. The West End Boardwalk looks out over rugged cliffs and crashing waves, while Pinky Beach near the lighthouse provides a gentler scene perfect for a beachside sunset.

How to get there:
With Rottnest Fast Ferries and day tour options, we make it easy to explore the island’s top sunset locations. Choose a package with a late return so you can enjoy the last light before heading back to the mainland.

Kings Park – Overlooking the Perth Skyline

Why it’s special:
Just minutes from the city centre, Kings Park offers panoramic views over the Swan River and Perth skyline. As the sun sets behind the distant hills, the city lights begin to glow, making it a favourite spot for both locals and visitors.

How to get there:
Fremantle is just a 30-minute drive or train ride from Perth, making it an easy and popular day trip. The Fremantle Line runs regularly from Perth Station, with a short walk from the terminus to the town centre. For those driving, there are several public parking areas throughout the city. Alternatively, a scenic ferry ride from Perth along the Swan River offers a relaxing and picturesque way to arrive. While, our Morning Perth & Fremantle City Explorer tour includes a visit to Kings Park in the morning, those wanting a sunset experience can speak to us about private charter options or flexible return packages.
