Strongly recommend this experience. It was an absolute blast racing down the sand dunes! We were incredibly lucky with the amazing weather, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. A big thank you to our wonderful guides, Emma and Hadrien, for their insightful and engaging sharing. We learned so much about the fascinating formation of the sand dunes and the Pinnacles, followed by an eye-opening astronomy session about the stars, planets, and satellites. The evening was accompanied by a delicious and filling dinner, and the day ended on a high note with a photography session on how to capture the Milky Way, an unexpected but unforgettable highlight.

Monty(not sure if that’s how his name is spelled) has been a great tour guide. He shares interesting stories and history of WA. We really enjoy the tour being under his guide. We really enjoy this tour especially the star glazing session .. We would come back again next time! It was also nice that pickup service was provided!

We recently joined the Pinnacles Sunset Dinner & Stargazing Tour from Perth with Autopia Tours Australia, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the very beginning, everything was so well organized. Our guide (I wish I remembered her name!) and driver, Olly, were both incredibly friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. You could really feel their passion for Australia’s unique wildlife and environment -they clearly care deeply about protecting the local flora and fauna. The whole evening was magical. Watching the sunset over the Pinnacles, spotting the Milky Way, and enjoying a delicious dinner under the stars made for such a special and unique night out. Sharing the experience with friends and family made it even better. We had so much fun and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Perth!

We chose the pick up point at the Hilton Hotel. The driver and guide were the same person who picked us up on time. It's been a long time since we've seen so many stars. Our guide was very informative and had stories and tales to tell.
