A great tour and experience, the tour guide Alessia was friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable. The stop at Guilderton was perfect and the stop at Nilgen lookout was interesting. The Pinnacles desert at night is unique experience. The food and wine was great.

Amazing experience band our guide Alisa was awesome. The bus ride was scenic and smooth, really enjoyed the informative tapis by our guide which really brought the spots to life. Although we couldn't quite see the the stars since it was a cloudy might but we did manage to see a few kangaroos which Kore than made up for it.

    The ride to the site...

    Quan_N, Jun 2026
    Quite a long ride but the final destination was definitely authentic and worth the time. Besides the main attraction, there was also plenty of other activities such as a pre-organized buffet at the Pinnacles parking lot and stargazing. Our tour guide, Anneliese, was very nice, informative, and equally as enthusiastic as every other tourist, so the overall trip felt even more enjoyable because of that. What to consider: the ride to the desert might take a long time, so it's best to bring along 1-2 700ml bottles of water (despite refilling stations at included pit stops) and to consider the weather, so as not to be under/over-prepared in terms of clothing.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback! We're delighted to hear that the destination felt authentic and that the additional activities like the buffet and stargazing enhanced your experience. We're also glad you appreciated Anneliese's enthusiasm and knowledge—she truly enjoys making sure everyone has a memorable trip. We appreciate your practical tips about bringing water and dressing appropriately for the weather; they'll certainly help future travelers have an even more comfortable and enjoyable journey. Your insights are invaluable, and we're grateful for your thoughtful comments. We look forward to welcoming you back on another adventure!

    Autopia Pinnacles Tour From Perth

    Roslyn_B, Jun 2026
    This tour was absolutely amazing & we would like to thank Annaliese (sorry, not sure of spelling) for sharing her wealth of knowledge on the Perth & surrounding areas. Our day was totally made when two kangaroos hopped on by, as we were walking out of the Pinnacles Desert. The picnic dinner that Annaliese prepared was very generous & much appreciated. Also your star gazing knowledge made the night extremely enjoyable, thank you so much for everything Annaliese, you're the best!!

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you so much for your heartfelt feedback! We're delighted to hear that you had an amazing tour experience and that Annaliese (she's wonderful!) shared her extensive knowledge of Perth and the surrounding areas, making your day even more special. How wonderful that two kangaroos hopped by as you were leaving the Pinnacles Desert - a truly memorable moment! We're also pleased the picnic dinner was appreciated and that her star gazing expertise helped make the night so enjoyable. Annaliese will be thrilled to hear your kind words. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to see you on another adventure soon!

    Room for improvement

    LeeAnne_T, May 2026
    Nice new vehicle and polite guide. We stopped at a small coastal town for a rest break and were advised to buy water from the general store as it was not provided. The second stop at a burnt out wildflower meadow seemed a pit pointless as the only thing to see was charred plants and there were no toilets at this stop. When we reached the pinnacles the guide pointed towards the discovery centre and the path towards the limestone formations. She did not accompany us and instead began setting up our picnic next to the car park. I noticed other tours had driven into the reserve as I was walking around: Dinner was simple supermarket salads and deli meats. There wasn’t enough room for everyone to sit a table and some of us ended up perched on a cold concrete fence to eat dinner: The star gazing was good and the guide was able to point out the planets and constellations. It was not as dark as it could have been as we were next to the carpark with people constantly coming and going.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We appreciate your honesty, as it helps us improve our future tours. We're glad you found the vehicle comfortable and the guide polite. However, we're sorry to hear that some aspects of the experience didn’t meet your expectations. The stop at the burnt-out meadow and the picnic setup may have felt underwhelming, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of amenities and the setup process. We're pleased to hear that the star gazing was enjoyable, even if the lighting conditions weren’t ideal. Your comments about the meal arrangements and the timing at the Pinnacles are very helpful, and we will take them into consideration to enhance future experiences. Thank you again for your insights!

    We went for my 40th birthday as it was something I had wanted to do for a very long time. Everything was wonderful, we were so happy with everything we got to see and the shooting star we got to see at the very last moment was just amazing and made it something we will never forget

    Fantastic trip

    Sam_F, Mar 2026
    Had an amazing trip to see the Pinnacles Desert. The guides were really helpful and informative. It was lovely to meet the others on the trip too. It was nice to stop off on the way at Gilderston and Hangover Bay. There were some interesting stories as well. It was really good to see the pinnacles at the end and there were clearly marked out routes to see them all. We even managed to meet a young kangaroo and take some pictures with him. The dinner was very well provided for at the end with plenty of the of selection of food including vegan options. Got some nice photos of the sun setting over the see. We then concluded with looking at the stars which was very interesting and the guide was very knowledgeable about which astronomical figures were in the sky; indicating which were there by torch and even seeing the Southern Cross. Fantastic

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you for joining our Pinnacles Sunset Stargazing Adventure! We’re thrilled the desert landscapes, helpful guides, and special stops made the journey so memorable.

    Down Under Skies

    Teri_V, Mar 2026
    It is definitely a great tour. You will learn many things about plants vs fire, see the Indian Ocean and maybe dip your toes, visit isolated areas, wander through the Pinnacles and create your own thoughts of mystery, and the star gazing even through passing clouds was beautiful. Erin was very knowledgeable about it all. The dinner was also perfect for a picnic and plenty for all. It was a long drive in both directions but Erin did a great job. Thank you...

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

    Do it!

    Karen_S, Jan 2026
    Highly recommend. The golden hour light at the pinnacles is beautiful. Tour structure gives you about an hour to explore on your own before sunset. Plus a couple of interesting coastal stops on the 2.5 hour drive from Perth to the pinnacles. We had a beautiful clear night for stargazing and took cool photos of the moon through the telescope.The picnic dinner is basic cold meat, salad, bread rolls, dips, Tim Tams, bubbly and juice, but it was nice. Erin was a fun and very informative guide.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you highly recommend the tour and enjoyed the stunning golden hour light at the Pinnacles. It’s great that the structure allowed enough time for you to explore on your own before sunset.

While the picnic dinner was simple, we're pleased it added to your experience. Erin is indeed a fantastic guide, and we’re happy she made your trip fun and informative. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

    Great experience, especially if you want to get out of the city and see something you can't see anywhere else. Casper was a fabulous guide, keeping us entertained with just the right information about Australia, the flora and fauna we saw, and the stars! The meal was very nice.

    First, our guide Kasper...

    Heather_H, Dec 2025
    First, our guide Kasper was great. Very knowledgable about area, animals, history and plants. For the cost of the tour, It wasnt really worth it. $154 and was really a bus ride for 1.5hr to a small park area where we walked for 40mjn. Than another bus ride to a little 20 min walk then another bus ride to hangover bay for 20 mjn then to pinnacles. We had about 1 hr to walk around to see the pinnacles before sunset . Meal was meats and salads, cheese, good for what it was. Star gazing was about 1-1.5 hr long and then a 2.5 hr drive back to Perth. Lots of driving. It was enjoyable and nice to see those places but not worth the pricey cost. Again, Kasper was great and the idea of the trip good just lots on on off little walks and not enough time for the pinnacles

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed Kasper’s guiding and the stargazing, and we’ll take your comments on pacing and value into consideration.

    We had a great time with Kasper and Erin. They were both friendly and gave us plenty of information about the local flora and fauna.

Highly recommend this tour and thanks again to Kasper and Erin.

    A day out of the city

    Gaye_S, Nov 2025
    Great day out of the city. Gives you a good glimpse of the Western Australia coast. And then the pinnacles are magical. Driver and guide Casper was very knowledgeable about the area, vegetation, wildlife and then at sunset he was a gifted astronomer. Take warm clothes just as it dropped cold at the meal and stargazing.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    We’re delighted you had such a magical Pinnacles Sunset and Stargazing experience! Casper will be thrilled to know his knowledge and astronomy skills made the day so memorable. Thank you for sharing your helpful tip about bringing warm clothes,it’s sure to benefit future guests.

    False advertising. That picture attracting to join this tour would never appear. However the overall experience was fine. The tour guide was very heavy in Australian English accent but was funny. It’s just another stargazing experience.
