Pinnacles Koalas & Sand Boarding Guided Tour

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 😂😂

Would highly recommend this for a day-trip out of central Perth! Stargazing at the gorgeous night sky at Pinnacles was beautiful and photos can't do justice to it. Also got to see bull ants, which are endemic to Australia (very cool). Special shoutout to our guide Annaliese (sorry if we spelled it wrong!), who was so friendly and a big pro making the entire trip comfortable and safe. Every stop was beautiful and we were given great trivia along the way. She even thoughtfully communicated the best (read: cleanest) stops to take a bathroom break, haha. One of the highlights of our holiday for sure. Cheers!

This tour was the highlight of our time in Perth! It offered incredible value and a truly unique itinerary that made the long day feel completely worth it. Our guide, Erin, was absolutely fantastic! She was so knowledgeable, very entertaining, and made the whole journey engaging—from the stops at the sand dunes and coastline to the final stargazing session. Seeing the Pinnacles Desert as the sun set was breathtaking. The changing colours over the limestone spires created an otherworldly atmosphere. It was timed perfectly to avoid the daytime crowds. The picnic dinner under the stars was delicious and well-organized. The stargazing session was a magical way to end the night—we got to see the Moon's surface through the telescope and learned so much about Aboriginal astronomy. The entire experience was seamless, comfortable, and highly professional. We couldn't recommend Autopia Tours and Erin more for this unforgettable journey!

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!

The Pinnacles Tour offers a captivating experience through Western Australia’s otherworldly desert landscape. The limestone formations of Nambung National Park are truly stunning, especially during golden hour when the sunlight casts dramatic shadows. The tour is well-organized, with knowledgeable guides sharing fascinating geological and cultural insights. Highlights often include sandboarding at Lancelin Dunes and visits to local wildlife parks or coastal lookouts. It’s a full-day adventure perfect for nature lovers and photographers. Bring sun protection, water, and comfortable walking shoes. Overall, the Pinnacles Tour is a unique and memorable excursion that showcases the raw beauty of Australia’s natural wonders.

its a must to join this tour. im amazed with the tour guide/coach driver roll into one. highlight would definitely be the pinnacles but along the way there are stopovers on some lookouts of indian ocean

the guides are very knowledgeable on astrology and made the trip interesting. The bus driver will give the passenger a call when he is not at the pickup point yet. very good service in doing the sand dune ride and preparing the dinner. just that the desert is very cold and it will be good to have more blankets. worth every cent!

I received a detailed email the day before the trip with all the necessary information, which made me feel prepared and at ease. The bus arrived punctually to pick us up, which set a positive tone for the day. After gathering the rest of the group, our first stop was a bakery where we could buy food and use the restroom. Then, our next stop was a scenic lookout point where we had 10-15 minutes to enjoy the views before heading to the sand dunes for an exhilarating sandboarding session. The boards were provided, and our guide was fantastic, assisting each of us with going down the sand slope. This was an exciting highlight and lasted about 30-45 minutes. Following the sandboarding, we visited another lookout before making our way to the Pinnacles Discovery Centre. This stop included a gift shop and restroom facilities, ensuring everyone had what they needed. The driver made sure we had plenty of opportunities to use the restrooms throughout the day, which was very considerate. Exploring the Pinnacles was a unique experience. We had 45 minutes to free roam and take pictures of the stunning desert. This was the perfect amount of time to appreciate the natural beauty of the area. Dinner was a lovely experience with a variety of starters including cheese & crackers, wine, coffee, tea, hot soup, and for the main course, there were four different types of salads and freshly grilled hotdogs with sausage buns prepared on the spot by our guide. It was a delicious and hearty meal after a day of adventure. After dinner, we waited for the stars and the Milky Way to show up. The tour provided telescopes, binoculars, and camera stands, which was fantastic for stargazing and photography. The guide also gave us tips on how to take great photos with both iPhones and Androids, which was incredibly helpful. Once everyone had their fill of stargazing and photo opportunities, we packed up and headed back to our accommodation. Overall, this tour was a fantastic experience. It was well-organized, and each activity was thoughtfully planned and executed. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured everyone had a great time. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Perth in a fun and stress-free way
