Reviews
the tour was very well planned and executed! a lot of explanation regarding the sites we had visited. dinner was a new experience and stargazing at night. thank you to our female guide (i forgot the name but was from NZ), for her hospitality and shared knowledge
our guide Erin was a great guide and highly knowledgeable about the land, history of the region along with a expert astronomy guide. and the picnic spread and telescope was well organized. I would recommend this tour for anyone keen on a outdoor desert tour with a stargazing finale.
one of the best tours i took in WA. I enjoyed the Pinnacle and stargazing as the highlight of the tour. I highly recommend you taking this tour! 😉 attractions on the way: breath taking views of indian ocean itinerary: could skip the place where it looks a barren area due to bush fire guide: very knowledgeable about what’s up there in the sky.
Nice trip like the pinnacle so much…at night we enjoy the food and tour guide explain the star and zodiac signs to us…the sky so beautiful…btw i forget the tour guide name but my bus is 718 (17.2.26)…She is so nice and beautiful tq
it is a long day with the tour, on the way, we will get off at a few spots to see the Indian Ocean, grasstree, sand dunes, and finally pinnacles. you will have an hour on your own to explore, the sunset is awesome, and cold dinner will be available and followed by star gazing, and 2 hr ride back to Perth city
I like the in-between stops at Guilderton and another spot to quickly see some native wild plants, before going to the Pinnacles. Guilderton is a small town built around the Moore River estuary and some nice viewing spots of the Indian Ocean. Pinnacles tour was nice , we had an 1 hr plus to walk around by ourselves, while Kasper prepared dinner for us. Dinner is more like picnic food but good enough. Jasper provided good commentary along the way about history, industry, ecology etc, and is friendly and approachable. The bus had around 20 pax, so it is a good size, not too big. The day we went was abit cloudy but cleared up in bits so we could still see quite alot of stars and a faint Milky Way. There was a blood moon on the way back as well.
We had a great experience in this trip ! Erin, our guide and driver was cheerful and friendly. She shared some of her knowledge in astronomy during the stargazing session. Indeed, we had a enjoyable time.
I enjoyed the trip..And so amazed with all the places we visited..The tourist guide and our Lady driver at the same time is so friendly and so hardworking to prepared our dinner..It was a great dinner under the moon and stars. Indeed I will tell friends how good your service to us.

Emma was great tour guide, on time and very attentive and helpful in providing information. Pick up was on time. Great sunset homestyle dinner and the telescope was setup to see moon and jupiter in close. Truly enjoyed every moment.
