Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour

This tour was a fun way to experience the beauty of the Pinnacles! We learnt some cool facts about astronomy, and had a delicious dinner under the desert sky!

Wonderful experience, knowledgeable staff, excellent bbq. We we were lucky the sky was clear and a full moon as well

It was an amazing experience. The places we saw were great and the food served delicious. Our guide (Mark) also made the drive very interesting by sharing his experiences and information about the places we visited.

The Pinnacles tour was a great experience. Our guide Mark was very friendly & knowledgeable. We stopped for a break & ice cream on the way to meet up with the other tour bus then headed for Sand boarding which was fun. The Pinnacles are amazing & the guys did a great job with our dinner. Pete explained all about the solar system while we were having dinner which was very interesting. We actually got to see Mercury through their giant telescope, another bonus. Would highly recommend this tour.

We loved sharing this adventure with our 10year old. A well organised day trip that packed in lots of fun! Great to do without the pressure to drive yourself, with a tasty BBQ dinner included.

The guide is very thoughtful, approachable and professional. He does everything on his own and the trip is an eye opening and enjoyable one even though the weather is very cold but blankets were being distributed to us so..all good! What a spectacular trip with Peter! :)

The tour to the Pinnacles Desert is made up of a number of stops along the way and our tour bus driver who is also our well informed guide Annalise kept us all in awe. The 1st stop at Guilderton was a beautiful sea side sight seeing village to enable stretching our legs ,toilet break and refreshments for the local shop. Then on to the 2nd stop at Nilgen Lookout to also view the abundant flora and fauna which was very interesting.Back on the bus to Hangover Bay a magnificent white sand beach that goes on for ever. back on the bus to Nambung National Park the home of the Pinnacles .We where guided to the viewing platform to view the Pinnacles standing in the for ground , who ever wanted to go for a short one hour walk on the trail through the pinnacles and get up close was absolutely fabulous experience. now it was almost dark we were presented with wine and juice and a lovely picnic dinner. With dinner done and the night sky in all its glory with a view of the stars that is not sen in our cities Annalise st up her giant telescope and set to view Jupiter which was amazing as the view was a crest shape that will not be seen for another 19 years. Annalise provided us with a full descriptive of the stars and pointed out the southern cross, scorpion , horse and many other shapes in the star’s arrangements. With a quick pack up we all got back on the bus for a drive back to Perth and drop off a various pasanger Hotels. What a fabulous day with an experience we won’t forget.

Even if the road is a bit long, it was worth it, simply extraordinary, magnificent, the guide and the speakers were exceptionally friendly and attentive.

We didn't have much time in WA and wanted to fit in as much as possible. This tour was a good choice for that as well. Our guide (Peter?) was very nice, funny, and found a very good balance between commentary and quiet during the longer drives. Sandboarding was fun and was also possible for less mobile participants while sitting. The barbecue was set up lovingly; here you just have to make sure that other participants don't load more onto their plates than is planned for everyone, so that you yourself still get some of everything. Nevertheless, we were easily able to get full. The Pinnacles themselves are an impressive backdrop and worth a trip. Unfortunately, the weather prevented us from seeing the stars. That was a real shame, as we had been especially looking forward to this. But of course, that was not in the guide's hands. It would certainly have been worth it; the guide obviously had a lot of knowledge about the stars and great equipment (telescope, blanket, etc.) was available. The guide was also visibly very sorry that we didn't have any luck. If we manage to, we will come back and try it again :)

Long drive to the Pinnacles in a rather cramped and uncomfortable small bus. Our tour guide, Peter, was very knowledgeable about all things astronomy and gave us a very informative talk about our galaxy and the planets within. Weather was very cold and windy and the blankets provided were very welcome. Peter did an excellent job of catering dinner for 18 of us, but he could use another helper with unpacking/packing up all the gear. A more comfortable mode of transport for 6 hours sitting on the 'bus'(?) would have made this experience more enjoyable.
