Fun tour, with some unique experiences! The Pinnacles are beautiful, and I think this is the best time of day to see them as there are less people, and the wildlife (kangaroos, emus, goats, birds) comes out for the cooler weather. Tour guides were very knowledgeable of the area and stars. If you're keen on the stars, best to try to choose a tour day when the moon is new (opposite of full) so you can see the stars better. Sandboarding stop on the way was fun, and approachable even for many children and those scared of heights etc (take your shoes off as the sand is cool all year). Bus doesn't have much leg room, but otherwise good.

The photographer who pointed out the stars to us was unnecessarily rude and impatient. Expect insulting "jokes" at your eyesight if you don't immediately pinpoint the exact star he's pointing at--he called our entire group "blind" at one point. No one found it funny. Also, it's already 2025--could he stop addressing women as "darlings" and “dears”? It's not endearing, only extremely weird.

We enjoyed the stops on the way to the Pinnacles Desert and the music en route. We especially enjoyed the sand boarding stop. The Pinnacles Desert has more pinnacles than I thought there would be and they are beautiful in the late afternoon light. The food provided for dinner was good and the Pinnacles Desert is far enough away from the city to see the stars really well. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the night sky.

This tour was fantastic! The tour guide Neil was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of the cultural and local history along the tour. We had a great time, had fun at the Lancelin Sand Dunes, and enjoyed the sunset dinner and the Pinnacles Desert, we would have loved a little more time for stargazing but otherwise it was great. Thank you!

Very exciting day, with the best at the “end”. The time at the Pinnacles was a little short, with the sunset, the food and parallel the starglazing-It felt like rushing . This can ge better organised. Our guide was very nice and I learned to use my phone differently to do these night star photos!

Started off with fun and ending the day in the desert under the stars. I enjoyed getting more from the Pinnacles desert - dinner with a beautiful sunset, followed by stargazing.

Great opportunity to explore a but of the Australia's outbacks near Perth. Guide was amazing and so was the food. There is plenty of time to explore around but also to meet new people and talk around.

The trip itself was excellent. The guides were very informative and the BBQ meal really good. Seeing the Pinnacles was excellent and when it went dark we had the BBQ. Plenty to eat / drink and the food was good. The guides gave out information on what we could see throughout the trip and were happy to answer questions. We unfortunately couldn’t see the stars at the pinnacles as it was cloudy & a bit rainy but they did stop enroute back as the clouds cleared a little. The only negative was the ac mini bus that we were in. It would be fine for children but for adults the leg room was tight. If you were unfortunately over the wheel hub you would have your knees up the whole trip. They do seem to have more than one minibus so it depends on numbers which one you get.

The pinnacles were amazing and the tour had plenty of time to explore and photograph the closest ones to where we stopped. The route to and from the stop enabled a feel for the quantity of them to be obtained. The food was good and the guides were very knowledgeable on the stars and pointed out the key ones. Overall a fantastic trip
