5.00The pick-up time was accurate and the main event was stargazing at the Pinnacles. Last year, I visited Pinnacles during the day and was moved by the spectacular landscapes created by nature. This time, I tried to revisit the site because I wanted to see the full starry sky. You can watch the sunset with lots of clouds but the sun gradually setting, and expect the starry sky at night. However, more and more clouds came, and we were unlucy and sad. Only five stars are visible. What a sudden break in the clouds, a starry sky appears! Impressive, inspiring, inspiring! Strange feelings that make you feel tiny in the wilderness. The food provided by the tour staff is also delicious! Thank you so much for the amazing tour. It's midsummer Perth, but the Pinnacles are windy and cold at night. I brought my own light down and was lent a blanket.

5.00This was a wonderful experience for me. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw Saturns rings and Jupiter through a telescope! It felt very emotional and uplifting. Pinnacle Desert was amazingly beautiful. And the sandboarding is a fun activity.
Awesome day trip from Perth

4.00Stars don’t always show. But we still had a beautiful sunset. Interesting places and a bit of fun with the sand boarding so there was something for the whole family to enjoy.
Simply amazing

5.00What an amazing experience! The staff was so organised, fun and knowledgeable. The bbq was lovely but the best part was the star gazing experience. We were lucky because there was no moon which allowed extra visibility of constellations. Grazie Adrian!
Not worth the money

2.00The trip was uninformative, we expected mutch more. There were no beach walk with information on plants. The star gazing was so quick with no information about the stars, if you didnt ask. We had to hover around the big telescope and ask for infomation and where it was pointing the hole time. We got normal binoculars and told to just look up, again no information sahred. Ths was dissapointing for a $1000. We where expecting a much more informative stargazing experiance, as it was advertized as just that. The tour opperators was not equiped for a windy day or night, and fell short in making this an unforgetable experience.
Go with the flow. ...

5.00Go with the flow. Stopped at a very good pub for those who didn’t want to do the sand boarding, good views
Desert was great. Tour was not

2.00I recommend a self guided tour of the desert as it was quite beautiful. The tour included an “authentic Aussie dinner” which was actually hot dogs. The sunset was beautiful, but all sunsets are. Stars were brilliant, but they were brilliant without the tour. Their telescope could not pick up Saturn. Leighton blamed the wind, however I’ve peered through portable high powered telescopes, and what they used was not. Finally, Leighton spent more time pushing his conspiracies about gun control and renewable energy than giving us information.
Great Pinnacles Experience
