When you visit Hutt Lagoon in Western Australia, you'll be blown away by its stunning pink waters. This bright pink lake gets its color from lots of salt and a special type of algae called Dunaliella salina. You can even see glistening salt crystals along the shores! Check out this amazing place with a guided Pink Lake WA tour or take a scenic flight to see it from above. Popular activities include taking photos, walking along the shores, and catching the perfect sunset.

The customer service is great and so is Kenny! Use aerial photography to help us take pictures, and speak in Cantonese and Mandarin at the same time. Most importantly, he had a good hand car and was very comfortable for any of us to sit on such a long distance!

We had an amazing experience on this 4-day, 3-night tour, and a big part of that was thanks to the excellent tour guides and thoughtfully planned itinerary. Day 1 was led by Kenny, who got the tour off to a great start. From Day 2 to Day 4, we were with Yan—who truly stood out for her patience, attention to detail, and warm professionalism. Yan consistently kept us informed about driving times, toilet stops, and meal options, and even shared great food recommendations along the way. Her help with photography was much appreciated, and the aerial shots taken at the Pink Lake were absolutely stunning! The itinerary itself was well-paced, covering many beautiful scenic spots with sufficient time to explore without feeling rushed. It struck a great balance between activity and relaxation. What we especially appreciated was the small group size which made the tour feel more intimate and flexible. It’s a great option for travellers who prefer not to self-drive.

Would like to send my appreciation to our guide and driver Robert. He's indeed a gem. Responsible, organised, kind, smart, hardworking, humorous in the calmest way and infinitely genuine. Rob can practically has his own podcast channel to share his love and insights about WA, the people and life lessons. Learnt so much from how he carries himself over the last 2 days. We wish we could spend more time with Robert. Some observations of how Robert made our trip memorable: 1. He took time to set expectations and gently explained them along the way as he shared past experiences. 2. He timed the itinerary so well so we are not rushed and fun is not being compromised. 3. He made sure everyone is taken care well by making his rounds with us at each site. Yet, he is seen enjoying himself to be immersed in the beauty of WA. 4. He shared beautiful short stories of people living along WA. The Delhi man, who owned the petrol kiosk, bought over the pub in the small town and made the

Although the journey was long, we stopped at some scenic spots along the way. The sand boarding and rock formation beaches were very beautiful and it was just right for a break! Fortunately, the weather was very good and the water was abundant. The Pink Lake was really beautiful. It was worth a visit.

The CP value is super high!!! There is enough time. I recommend participating in all four days! The sharp stone formations, the window of the world, the pink lake, the wave rock, the rainy Bassetton without trains (no trains, more wine tasting in wineries 🍷) The beaches along the way are all beautiful! The guides Kenny on the first three days and Yan on the last day were very kind! A lot of yo-yo travel!

Highly recommended! Although the scenic spots are far away, you can catch up on sleep by stopping and walking on the road. Even if you get up early in the morning, you won’t feel tired! If time permits in Western Australia, it is highly recommended to participate! Each point is very special and can’t be seen in other places! The driver and tour guide are also very kind ~ great memories!

The tour guide Johnny arranged the time very punctually. We arrived at each attraction at the right time and was also very enthusiastic to help take photos.

A two-day, one-night tour that you must take when you come to Perth! Our tour guide Johnny picked us up at the hotel at the beginning of the trip. The hotel must be in the 6000 postal zone. Johnny drove us to Lancelin Sand Dunes for about two hours. Unfortunately, the weather was not as expected, so we did not succeed in sandboarding. If the weather is good, you will have to pay extra if you want to sandboard. The lobsters we ate at the lobster factory were steamed with butter, which was very delicious. The fries were also very large, and the salad had my favorite raw onions, which was included in the tour price, which was very cost-effective. After the meal, we took photos and checked in at the beach, and the scenery was beautiful. Then we drove for a long time, about 1 hour, to reach Leaning Tree. In fact, we saw these strange trees along the way, so they were not very special, but it was worth seeing when we passed by on the way. Then we drove for a long time, about 1 hour, to reach the Pink Lake that everyone is looking forward to the most. The Pink Lake is not as pink as everyone imagines, and Instagram has over-adjusted the color, but it is also very beautiful and suitable for taking pictures. It was about to sunset at that time, very romantic. Then we drove for a while and arrived at Kalbarri Nation Park. The waves under the cliff were magnificent. It was sunset and we took very satisfactory photos. We were very accommodating that night. The room was average but acceptable. The highlight was the starry sky of Kalbarri. We saw Milky Way. The whole night sky was full of stars, which was very memorable. In the morning after staying for one night, we saw kangaroos coming to graze, but if you want to see kangaroos grazing, you have to get up at 6:30. The next day, we set off very smoothly. We arrived at Kalbarri Skywalk, and it was just after sunrise. The scenery of the sun shining on the canyon was very beautiful. After driving for 5 minutes, we arrived at Nature's Windows. The rocks here are strange and the natural scenery is very spectacular. We all took very satisfactory photos. After Johnny drove for half an hour, we returned to the Pink Lake and had more time to take pictures, play with salt and stones. Then we drove for a long time, about two hours, to the restaurant. After dinner, we went to the beach to sunbathe. If you want to go to the beach, you should eat faster. Then drove for another two hours to the last attraction, pinnacles. Johnny stopped at a rest stop on the way to let us use the restroom, and also stopped at the beach for a short while to let us take pictures. Johnny took a lot of photos for us throughout the trip. His angles were uniquely researched, and we were very satisfied. Thank you very much Johnny. He also taught us how to see the aurora. Unfortunately, we didn't have the energy to go to the suburbs after the group dispersed that night. Thank you Johnny for being a very professional tour guide in addition to the high-intensity driving, which made our experience very good! This trip is very unforgettable!
