We were briefed on how to navigate into the pinnacles desert and were given time to explore the desert by ourselves. We were given the luxury to choose a preferred spot to witness sunset, which was a magnificent view.
Ellie was friendly and funny. She gave a great and informative talks on the history of Australia, Perth, Guilderton and also the Pinnacles Desert. We enjoyed our time with her.

Would definitely recommend the sunset Pinnacles tour. Our guide Carolina was excellent. Very knowledgeable, friendly and informative.
The trip was organised well, and I have a good experience。 The tour guide was very professional。 I am happy with the tour。
A fantastic day and especially evening with a picnic and watching stars. Thanks for a good trip and lot of info about the nature.
Long day on the bus. But very good tour.
Star gazing was a highlight.
Time at some of the stops seemed shorter than what was expected

This tour takes you to see dream-like scenery north of Perth embodied in fabulous beaches, fascinatingly white sand dunes and eerie pinnacles that will live in your memories forever. Stargazing takes place in absolutely pristine environment and expands our concept of the beauty of night sky. Our tour guide Annelies was very capable, very friendly and had a terrific grasp on a wide variety of topics, all relevant to the beautiful places she took us to. It was very fortunate to have her lead us for the day.

Our tour guide driver was Annalise, she was excellent made us feel very welcomed, she was a safe driver and very knowledgeable. If one of my friends or family go on the tour I would recommend to request her as a tour guide. We had a great clear sky day we seen wild kangaroo 🦘 in the Pinnacle. The stargazing was amazing, didn't want to leave, the food was good plenty of options. The tour company contacted me the day before asking about dietary restrictions, that was very considerate.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

This place has very strange stones but beautiful.
A must place to visit when you go to Perth, Western Australia.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We're delighted you find this place so intriguing and beautiful. It's definitely a unique and must-visit spot when exploring Perth, Western Australia. We hope others get to experience its natural wonder too!
Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate so our first stop was rained out and too many clouds blocking a good view of the night sky. That said, our driver/tour guide/chef was amazing! She was friendly, helpful and knew her stuff. The Pinnacles did not disappoint. It was a good trip and I would recommend it.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's unfortunate that the weather didn't cooperate, but we're glad to hear that your driver, guide, and chef made your trip special with their friendliness and knowledge.
It's great to know that the Pinnacles exceeded your expectations and that overall, you enjoyed the trip and would recommend it. We appreciate your feedback and hope for clearer skies on your next adventure!
Tour a little disturb by the rain but Annalise managed to work past the weather to explain all possible on Pinnacles desert and find us a place for the stargazing on the road.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear that despite the rain, Annalise was able to adapt and ensure you still enjoyed your tour. Her dedication to providing a memorable experience-explaining everything about the Pinnacles Desert and finding a great spot for stargazing-really shows her commitment.
We appreciate your understanding of the weather's impact, and we're happy Annalise was able to make the best of the situation. We hope the rest of the trip was just as memorable and look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
A great experience. Dinner was awesome.
The pinnacles were mindblowing. There was heaps of time ponder around
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks for the great review! 😊 We're thrilled you enjoyed the Pinnacles and had plenty of time to explore this amazing landscape. And we're glad dinner hit the spot too! Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you again on another adventure.
Wow! This tour was so worth the time and money. A truly unique experience. Beautiful vistas not only at The Pinnacles but throughout the tour. And the Pinnacles were like nothing I’ve seen before and I’ve been to Bryce Canyon, Arches NP, the Grand Canyon and the Badlands in the USA. The Pinnacles dispel any myth that deserts are featureless, lifeless and/or empty. It was just beautiful, especially at sunset. And I have never seen stars like that before. Highly, HIGHLY recommend this tour. And our guide Alexia was a sweetheart!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for your incredible feedback! We're delighted to hear that you found the tour truly worthwhile and enjoyed the unique vistas at The Pinnacles and beyond. It's fantastic that the Pinnacles left such a lasting impression, especially at sunset and under those amazing stars — it sounds like an unforgettable experience. We're also happy to hear Alexia made your trip extra special. Your high recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to see you again for more unforgettable adventures!
Annaliese was an amazing and patient tour guide. She was driven and fun to listen and follow. Unfortunately the weather was the only thing bad as the clouds covered quite a bit of the stars we could’ve seen but that is out of the guide’s control.
The dinner was simple but refreshing and lovely. Definitely recommend to all who wish to view more of Western Australia’s beauty.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback! We're delighted to hear that Annaliese provided an engaging and enjoyable experience despite the weather challenges. We agree-she truly is an amazing and dedicated guide. We're also glad you enjoyed the dinner and found the tour a great way to explore Western Australia’s beauty. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more memorable adventures!
Trip was good, great to see the Pinnacles and the desert at night. It was beautifully clear so the stars were amazing.
However, the trip description did not quite match the reality of the journey.
Gilderton was, according to itinerary, an hour's stop. We were there for a very rushed 30mins.
Although we were shown the constellations and there was some information given about the stars, there were no dream time stories told. This was specified in the itinerary description.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed seeing the Pinnacles, the desert at night, and the clear stars. However, we apologize for the discrepancy between the trip description and the actual experience, especially regarding the stop in Geraldton and the storytelling aspect. Your comments are valuable and will be used to improve our accuracy in the itinerary and the overall experience. We appreciate your honesty and hope to provide a more aligned experience in the future.
Disappointing trip, quick stops along the way
The tour guide had limited experience and offered little local knowledge
Disappointing with the star gazing, the sky was clouded over only visualised the moon, when the sky cleared there was no opportunity to gaze
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your trip did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the quick stops, the guide’s experience, and the star gazing experience. Your input is valuable to us and will help us improve. We apologize for the weather conditions that affected the star gazing and appreciate your honesty.
This trip is a must. The pinnacles at sunset were amazing and we were lucky to have a clear night for the stargazing. Analise (guide) and Amanda (driver) looked after us very well. Only part that was a bit disappointing was the stop at Nilgen Nature Reserve. There wasn’t much to see and it seemed a bit pointless to stop there, however that might have been down to the time of year I went (late April). The evening buffet meal was simple but tasty with a selection of meats and salads. We even had bubbles or choice of orange juice to wash it down with, as well as strawberries and chocolate biscuits for a dessert.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for joining our Pinnacles Sunset & Stargazing Dinner Tour! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the magical sunset, clear night skies, and the care from Analise and Amanda. Your feedback on the stops is appreciated, and we’re glad the dinner added a tasty finish to a wonderful evening
The star gazing experience, the different rock formation and the whole tour especially the tour guide Erin who is very knowledgeable about the constellation explaing everything that i have heard it the first time. To summarize it was an awesome tour.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for joining our Pinnacles Sunset & Stargazing tour! We’re delighted Erin’s knowledge and constellation stories made the evening so special. It’s wonderful to know the rock formations, stargazing, and the whole experience felt truly awesome for you.
Unfortunately due to the weather we didn't see any stars or the sunset.
The food looked lovely but I couldn't eat any of it as people had touched it with there hands some totally ignored the tongs provided by our lovely tour guide.
I think it should have been cancelled because $199.00 is a lot to see pay for something you could not see.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry the weather affected the sunset and stargazing, and we appreciate your comments on the dinner service. Your input helps us improve, and we hope you’ll join us again for a clearer night under the stars.
Good experience in a spectacular environment. The Pinnacles desert is simply amazing! The star gazing experience was the cherry on the top.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and that the Pinnacles Desert left such a strong impression-it's truly a spectacular place. It’s also wonderful to know the stargazing experience was a highlight of your trip.

Day trip went okay considering rain spoilt the day . The gift shop is not open for the afternoon star gazing tour . Stopped at nice stop for 30 minutes and had a lovely hot chocolate. Hangover bay I think it was called .

I honestly didn’t know what to expect going into the Pinnacles tour, but it completely blew me away. The whole place just feels surreal — like you’ve stepped onto another planet. Seeing all the limestone formations spread out across the desert in real life is something photos just don’t do justice.
What I really liked was how easy and well organised the whole day was. I didn’t have to think about anything — just turn up and enjoy it. Erin, our driver/guide, was great. Really friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience feel relaxed. She shared some interesting info along the way without overdoing it, which I appreciated.
Walking through the Pinnacles was probably the highlight for me. Just being able to wander around at my own pace, take it all in, and grab some great photos was unreal.
The whole experience felt relaxed but still packed a lot in, which I appreciated. It never felt rushed.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend it. It’s one of those places that’s just completely different to anything else, and I’m glad I went.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and heartfelt review! It’s wonderful to hear that the Pinnacles tour exceeded your expectations and that the surreal limestone formations made such an impression.

Walking through the Pinnacles at your own pace and capturing great photos sounds truly memorable. Your recommendation means a lot, and we're thrilled you had such a unique and positive experience. We hope to see you on another adventure soon!
It was a great experience overall, just unfortunate that we couldn’t do stargazing we were very excited about that. Shoutout to Fred he was very great in his work. Dinner under the sky was also great experience.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for joining our Pinnacles Sunset tour! We’re delighted you enjoyed dinner under the sky and Fred’s wonderful guidance. We’re sorry the stargazing wasn’t possible this time, but we’re thrilled the evening still gave you memorable moments. We’d love to welcome you back for a clear night!
Absolutely amazing natural phenomenon unlike anything we'd ever seen before. Ellie our guide was excellent

Great experience with a knowledgeable driver. Picnic dinner was excellent something for everyone. The night sky performed beautifully for us
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for joining our Pinnacles Sunset & Stargazing tour! We’re delighted you enjoyed the picnic dinner and the guidance from our driver. The night sky truly is a breathtaking performer, we’re so glad it shone beautifully for you. ✨
Our driver/tour guide, Erin, was exceptional. While we give a 3star rating, Erin was definitely a 5stsr rating. Her driving, knowledge and commentary was second to none.
Going up the coast the stops were frequent and timely and locations beautiful.
Got to Pinnacles. Amazing site but the fact the bus doesn't drive closer to view for the sunset makes it very difficult to navigate back to the carpark as it gets very dark after sunset. For anyone with sight problems you could easily get lost even with a powerful torch.
To get the full Pinnacles experience at sunset you need to be facing west as there is too much shadow if you are behind them.
Dinner was casual and well presented.
Return journey to Perth, unfortunately, and certainly not the Tours fault, was extended by over an hour due to a major highway detour. 3 straight hours on the bus was way to long sitting.
Otherwise 5stars to Erin for doing an exceptional job to get everyone back safely.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for joining our Pinnacles Sunset Stargazing tour! We’re delighted you enjoyed Erin’s exceptional guiding and care throughout the day. We’re sorry some aspects felt challenging, but we’re grateful for your thoughtful feedback. It’s wonderful to know Erin helped make the experience safe and memorable.
This tour was really great! Our tour guide, Adam, shared us a lot of his knowledge about Western Australian animal history. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate -- which made the trip very enjoyable. The stargazing event was the best part! We could see many stars even though it was not too late at night. Good was amazing, and some sparkling wine was provided :). Would recommend this trip to friends when they visit Perth.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for joining our Pinnacles Sunset Stargazing tour! We’re thrilled you enjoyed Adam’s passion and knowledge, the delicious dinner, and sparkling wine.

We were briefed on how to navigate into the pinnacles desert and were given time to explore the desert by ourselves. We were given the luxury to choose a preferred spot to witness sunset, which was a magnificent view.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled you found the tour so well organised, fun, and educational. It’s wonderful to hear Casper and the team made such a positive impression. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
Our tour guide/driver, Allie, was excellent. She was one of the best guides I have met while travelling way over 100 countries and thousands of cities/towns/villages. The other two guide/driver were also very knowledgeable and worked as a good team. The dinner was good and healthy. Only thing to be improved was car seats. It was uncomfortable for the long trip.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re delighted you found Allie and the guiding team so exceptional and knowledgeable, making the Pinnacles and stargazing truly memorable. We’re glad you enjoyed the healthy dinner, and we appreciate your comments on seating comfort, it helps us improve.
Wonderful, knowledgeable staff. Ellie was our driver and guide. Her knowledge, interjected with humor, made the long ride fly by. We learned more from her narration than from all our area guide books.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your lovely review! 🌟 We’re so glad you enjoyed the Pinnacles tour and that Ellie’s humor and knowledge made the journey engaging. It’s wonderful to hear her narration brought the landscapes to life even more than the guidebooks. Your kind words mean so much to us!
