Excursão Guiada de Koalas e Sandboard em Pinnacles

A melhor parte para mim foi a observação das estrelas. Como alguém que cresceu em cidades, eu nunca tinha visto tantas estrelas no céu em toda a minha vida. Olhar para aquele céu infinito me fez sentir tão pequena no meio dessa vasta natureza e do universo. A propósito, nosso guia turístico e motorista Chris foi incrível. Fiquei muito impressionada com o conhecimento dele, e foi a primeira vez que conheci um guia turístico que conseguia apresentar tudo enquanto dirigia, sem olhar para nenhuma anotação 😲. O respeito dele pelos pequenos animais na estrada, pelos carros que vinham na direção oposta e pelo céu noturno foi uma das coisas que mais me impressionou nesta viagem. (A propósito, se você está planejando visitar os Pinnacles à noite, por favor, tenha cuidado ao usar luzes, pois elas afetam a experiência de observação das estrelas.) Também sou muito grata à assistente dele, Runa. Depois que o passeio terminou, ela nos acompanhou até a estação de trem para pegarmos nosso trem 😂😂

Recomendo muito este passeio de um dia saindo do centro de Perth! Observar as estrelas no deslumbrante céu noturno nos Pinnacles foi lindo e as fotos não conseguem fazer jus à experiência. Também tivemos a oportunidade de ver formigas-buliçosas, que são endêmicas da Austrália (muito legal). Um agradecimento especial à nossa guia Annaliese (desculpe se escrevemos o nome errado!), que foi super amigável e extremamente profissional, tornando toda a viagem confortável e segura. Cada parada foi linda e recebemos ótimas curiosidades ao longo do caminho. Ela ainda teve a delicadeza de nos avisar quais eram as melhores (leia-se: mais limpas) paradas para usar o banheiro, haha. Com certeza, um dos pontos altos das nossas férias. Um abraço!

Este passeio foi o ponto alto da nossa estadia em Perth! Ofereceu um valor incrível e um roteiro verdadeiramente único que fez o dia longo valer totalmente a pena. Nossa guia, Erin, foi absolutamente fantástica! Ela era muito conhecedora, muito divertida e tornou toda a viagem envolvente — desde as paradas nas dunas de areia e no litoral até a sessão final de observação das estrelas. Ver o Deserto dos Pinnacles ao pôr do sol foi de tirar o fôlego. As cores em constante mudança sobre os pilares de calcário criaram uma atmosfera de outro mundo. O horário foi perfeito para evitar as multidões diurnas. O jantar de piquenique sob as estrelas estava delicioso e muito bem organizado. A sessão de observação das estrelas foi uma maneira mágica de encerrar a noite — pudemos ver a superfície da Lua através do telescópio e aprendemos muito sobre a astronomia aborígene. Toda a experiência foi perfeita, confortável e altamente profissional. Não poderíamos recomendar mais a Autopia Tours e a Erin por esta jornada inesquecível!

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
