Things to do in The Pinnacles Desert

The guide David is awesome! He is friendly and passionate in sharing about the places he brought us to. 9 hours trip - pace was just nice and not too rushed. Stargazing and dinner at the pinnacles was definitely a vibe.

An extremely memorable trip, yielding experiences and lessons far more valuable than money. Our two guides, David and Mark, wore many hats; aside from driving and giving explanations, they also built the fire for the barbecue and set up the campsite for dinner. The food was fully stocked with things like grilled sausages, steak, chicken breast, salad, fruit, pasta, and hot drinks. As we ate, they explained the order in which the stars appear after sunset. Just like that, accompanied by the super strong sea breeze of the Indian Ocean and gazing at the sunset with its Tyndall effect, we enjoyed an incredibly relaxing open-air dinner. As night fell, stars began to twinkle in the distance one by one. Although there were too many professional astronomical terms to fully understand, it didn't diminish the awe of seeing the starry sky and the Milky Way filling the heavens at all. They even let us see the true appearance of a star, identical to the 🪐 emoji, with a ring surrounding the planet. Seeing a star with the naked eye through a telescope lens was truly amazing!!!! It's just a pity that cell phones couldn't capture it through the telescope lens 🥲 Such a perfect journey, this will forever remain my 'right now' moment.

I love how passionate about astronomy our guides were, they told us a lot about the stars that could be seen in the southern hemisphere and you could tell how much they loved stargazing. The whole experience was really enjoyable.

Annelise is a wonderful tour guide who made our experience truly memorable. She is highly professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire tour. She shared interesting and informative stories about the places we visited and explained the history, culture, and natural beauty of the area in a way that was easy to appreciate. Our trip to the Pinnacles, north of Perth, was especially enjoyable because of her excellent guidance. She made sure we were comfortable, well-informed, and able to fully enjoy the experience. Her passion for her work and her knowledge of the destination really stood out.

The best part for me was the stargazing. As a kid who grew up in cities, I had never seen so many stars in the sky in my life. Looking up at that endless sky made me feel so small in the middle of this vast nature and universe. Btw, our tour guide & driver Chris was amazing. I was really impressed by his knowledge, and it was the first time I’d met a tour guide who could introduce everything while driving without looking at any notes 😲. His respect for the little animals along the road, the cars coming from the opposite direction, and the night sky was one of the things that impressed me most about this trip. (Btw, if you’re planning to visit the Pinnacles at night, please be mindful of using lights as they affect the stargazing experience.) Also very grateful to his assistant Runa. After the tour ended, she accompanied us all the way to the train station to catch our train 😂😂

Highly recommended for this small group tour, especially our guide Kenny. He planned everything very well and helped us take great photos by avoiding peak times and crowds. He is like a professional videographer and cameraman, capturing memorable videos when we didn’t even realize it. He also made sure we had enough rest time between each attraction, which made the whole experience very comfortable and enjoyable.

Tour guide was very friendly and helpful. Very lucky to experience the pink lake. The itinerary was great and well planned.

itinerary: 10/10 — enjoyed it up until the very end. everything was clearly briefed and timing was well kept. • attractions on the way: 9/10— visited a number of beautiful beaches, it would’ve been perfect if there were some engaging activities in between on our way to the Pinnacles. nevertheless, views were breathtaking and enjoyable! • group size: 9/10 — there were roughly 26 people during the tour, it was an ideal group size for me, though we did have to squeeze in between our seats • guide: 10/10 — our guide was hardworking, friendly and sweet! she kept the energy consistent and was also inclusive in terms of providing vegetarian / halal meals for muslim tourists! also shared alot of her knowledge on the beaches and deserts we visited!

If you want a relaxing, stress-free trip immersed in natural scenery, this is an excellent choice! Tour guide David is amazing 👍 and very attentive, with delightful surprises at hidden gems along the way. From day to night, experience sandboarding and stargazing by moonlight 🔭. The itinerary is packed with activities, highly recommended!
