Perth Day trips

We would like to commend our tour guide, Mel (apologies if we have her name wrong), who led the Autopia Pinnacles tour on 7 July 2026. She was professional, knowledgeable, and exceptionally well organised. Not only did she safely drive the group for the 2–3-hour journey each way, but she also prepared a delicious picnic dinner, set up the telescope for stargazing, and shared an engaging introduction to astronomy while we admired the spectacular night sky. We also appreciated her warm hospitality and the personal recommendations she shared about places to visit in Perth. That said, at almost AUD 190 per person, the tour is relatively expensive, with the stargazing experience at the Pinnacles being the main highlight. Sadly, there wasn’t much to see at Guilderton and Nilgen Lookout, it was more of a rest stop for guests and driver. We also felt that a hot or warm meal would have been more suitable than a cold picnic dinner, particularly during winter.

Super fun and well thought out tour! We really enjoyed the activities and our guide Aaron was also very knowledgeable and friendly, helping to cook the barbecue and share fun facts about Western Australia and the different wildlife 😋 Thank you so much !!

informative tour by the ferry crew that toured the island on a bus come covering the main sites. well organized. would like to have visited the lighthouses and some stops of the tour but weather was quite bad on the day.

I heard rumors of its beauty and decided to join the stargazing tour. As a result, the starry sky was incredibly beautiful and deeply moving. But it wasn't just that; the entire day's experience was wonderful, including encountering kangaroos in the park during the day, the sunset view after exploring the desert, and dinner while waiting for the stars to appear. The bus ride was also very comfortable. Since the tour ended past midnight, walking from the bus stop to the hotel was a bit scary, but I made it back without any problems. If it's possible to be dropped off closer to the hotel, that kind of worry might be avoided.

The 1‑day Pinnacles, Lobster and Yanchep tour was excellent. Everything was well organised, and our tour guide - Elly was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. She shared great insights, kept the trip smooth, and made every stop enjoyable. Beautiful sights, delicious food and a truly memorable experience thanks to her outstanding service.

We were able to enter the zoo before it opened and see animals such as koalas up close and take pictures, just for tour members. It was an English tour, but the driver was friendly and announced things in a loud voice, so the English was easy to understand. We shared the bus with Japanese tour members. For lunch, you can upgrade the fish to lobster for an additional AUD25. It was windy, and sunglasses are a must for sandboarding on the dunes as the wind is strong and sand blows around. It was a fun tour.

We joined this local tour as a family of three and had a fantastic experience. The whole trip was very well organised and ran smoothly from start to finish. We visited the wildlife park and had the chance to feed the animals without needing to queue, which made the experience very relaxed and enjoyable. Lunch was fish and chips, which was nice, but we strongly recommend upgrading to the lobster as it was very fresh and definitely worth it. We also visited the desert, enjoyed an exciting off-road desert vehicle ride, and tried sandboarding. Everything was arranged very well, and the activities were fun and smooth. Overall, our family had a wonderful time. The tour was eye-opening, memorable, and gave us a great chance to experience the local scenery and activities. It was excellent value for money, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Taking a private car is very convenient, and the car ride is quite comfortable. This itinerary includes a visit to a winery for a self-funded wine tasting at 15 Australian dollars for 4 types of wine, and after the tasting, you can choose your favorite wine to purchase. It's very windy at the beach, so be careful not to let your hat be blown away. I ate lavender ice cream; the first bite might feel strange, but it becomes smooth as you eat it, it's all about the concept of trying. The little train is also a new experience, since you came all this way, just take a walk and see, so you don't waste the trip. Then, while riding the little train back, I saw dolphins, very lucky!

A great way to experience the diverse attractions of the WA region in one day, from coastal scenery to local food experiences and natural wonders. Highly recommended for visitors wanting to see the highlights comfortably. Thanks Jon for everything!
