5.00The guide was friendly, informative, and well organized throughout the tour. The itinerary was enjoyable, with enough time at each stop to explore and take photos. Everything ran smoothly, and it was definitely time well spent. I would happily recommend this tour to others visiting Melbourne.

5.00Our guide Peter is very knowledgeable about so many different things, from WA flora and fauna to the cosmos. He also cooked a pretty good BBQ.

5.00Peter, our driver and guide, was absolutely amazing! He took us through meticulous details of the area and its surroundings, and his in-depth knowledge of the stars and planets is awesome. We had a great experience.
Great Experience, Great Value! Do it!

5.00This was a brilliant way to spend the day - pickup in the CBD was easy, and the driver made the trip to Pinnacles Desert interesting. Of course there were stops for some sights, and of course the sand dune surfing was brilliant! We were on a small bus, which was adequate for the time/distance of travel. The Pinnacles themselves are really quite a unique experience - the tour allows plenty of time to explore, and then as the sun sets (amazing photo opportunities) you return to the bus where a bbq feast has been laid out with dozens of salads, various meats and vegetarian options, a generous number of drinks, and even a lovely dessert. While you eat this the tour guide gives a bit of a talk as the sky darkens, and then you get an astronomy tour with binoculars to use and a big reflector telescope for highlights visible on the evening. Pro-tip - if you have your own binoculars, bring them - some of the ones they provide have seen better days! The trip back in the dark seemed much quicker than the way there - I might have dozed off lol, but of course there were no stops on the way back either. Well worth it!

Pinnacles Sunset Dinner & star glazing with Peter

5.00We have a wonderful and beautiful experience for sand boarding, Pinnacles Sun Set and Star Glazing was indeed a memorable experience love it. Amazing sunset and peaceful night viewing many stars in the dark sky ❤️. Due to sudden rain we didn’t experience sand boarding much which is a pity. Overall experience was great and thank you very much to our guide Peter and teams who put together the buffet dinner at the Pinnacle. Dinner was good and appreciate your hard work for such a wonderful experience 🌈🥰 we miss it so much cheers🥂
Great family day trip to see the Pinnacles

5.00Myself, my mom and my 2 kids (9 and 11) all really enjoyed this trip. Despite a super cloudy day which meant no stargazing we made the best of it (and obviously this is no fault of the tour). Seeing the pinnacles was great and we had plenty of free time to roam around at our leisure before returning to the bbq dinner they had set up. My kids also really enjoyed the sand boarding and our guide, David, was great with encouraging them to try it when they were hesitant at first.
A unique fun day experience

5.00Lots of fun and sites packed into a day of adventures. The sand surfing was someone we had never tried before.
Very disappointing experience.

1.00Very disappointing experience. The tour did not meet the expectations set in the description. Organization was poor, and several parts of the trip felt rushed. I would not choose this tour again.
