    Pinnacles was good. Tour guide was explaining a lot but we couldn’t hear as it was so blur. Tour guide was sneezing all the way without a mask. And music was blasting all the way back and we couldn’t sleep. Also the speaker was spoilt and was crackling all the way.

    The guide, Grant, was outstanding. His knowledge was excellent and warmly conveyed to the group. The bus driver was also excellent being thoughtful, careful and aware.

    I joined this tour on the 29 September 2024.
    What I absolutely loved:
    – Amazing dinner at the Cervantes Bar & Bistro. The price already includes fish and chips / chicken burger with fries / a vegetarian option. The fish and chips were lovely. But what was the bonus was that you could add on $20 for half lobster AND fries AND salad! This was THE freshest lobster I have eaten in my life and it was honestly huge (bigger than some whole Bostons lobsters than I have seen and eaten)! I am honestly considering flying back to Perth for this.
    – Amazing idea to visit the Pinnacles desert at evening time to catch the sunset. Absolutely stunning views – we were the only tour group there so you could take unobstructed photos of the surroundings as well.
    – Again, another amazing idea to visit the Pinnacles desert for stargazing at night, complete with coffee, tea and snacks under the stars! The sky was very clear and we could see most of the constellations and planets pointed out to us by our guide (who was very knowledgeable and humourous)
    – Also lovely visiting Yanchep National Park which presented a very natural habitat to see the kangaroos
    Cons:
    – Bus was slightly late on arrival but understandable as it was travelling to multiple pick up points for a tour of about at least 40 people
    – Didn’t manage to catch many koalas at Yanchep National Park (we could only spot 2 exhibits for 2) and there was limited time there
    The cons are hardly cons as they were more than compensated by the pros of this trip. A MUST TRY recommendation for anybody who visits Perth! It would be one of the highlights of your trip.

  6. Jillian_R

    Staff were wonderful and very caring for an older traveller that had some mobility issuesthe views were amazing
    The stargazing was mind blowing and very informative

  7. Louis_S

    Great Tourguide and driver! Plus the food was unexpectedly good. I’d highly recommend the tour for singles or couples (:

    Evan and Anton were lovely tour guides. They provided a lot of knowledge regarding WA during the ride up to The Pinnacles. The bus did have an issue with the microphone, but they overcome that obstacle!
    Yanchep National Park was lovely. Saw one Koala & several Kangaroos!
    The Pinnacles are stunning. It seems like another planet.
    Dinner was very good. My husband an I both had the Chicken Burger & chips.
    The final amazing scene was the stargazing! Absolutely breathtaking! We haven’t seen a night sky like that since 1995! No light pollution! We even saw a shooting star! I would recommend this trip to all!

    A good trip but some disappointing aspects – the bus was late to pick us up (with no communication), the commentary was overly detailed, to the point of being boring, with factual inaccuracies. The stop at Yanchep to see wildlife was a misuse of time, to see one koala and then wait around for half an hour. The promised afternoon tea was not served until directly after dinner, when we really didn’t need it. It was unfortunate that the cloud cover was so dense, we couldn’t see any stars. We also didn’t expect to be stargazing from a carpark. At the time of booking, we were told we would be back around 11pm. Once on the bus, we were told it would actually be 1am, which caused some anxiety. This was eventually resolved, but the situation was managed poorly. We were very warmly greeted by Evan and he continued to be of great assistance. Lee was a great driver and we felt safe at all times. It was great to see the Pinnacles, but we would find it difficult to recommend this tour.

    Unfortunately it didn’t really have a “wow” factor…a bit disappointing for the price that is charged

    Great trip, Luke was full of knowledge and Pete was a great assistant.
    The Pinnacles are fantastic and the night sky was amazing, highly recommend it.
    Dinner was great I had the lobster and my partner had the chicken burger.

  12. Sarah_W

    The pinnacles were far more impressive than I had expected and covered a much bigger area. I also enjoyed learning a great deal about the sky at night in the Southern Hemisphere.

  13. Ryan_G

    Sunset was very cool. The stars, mars and moon. Make sure go on night with out full moon if possible. Kangaroos and wildlife. It was a cheap trip with lots to see. Definitely recommend.

  14. Katie_S

    It was a nice evening trip! Nice bus/coach they take you on. Was great to stop and see tome wildlife on the way and enjoy a lovely sunset at the Pinnacles. Dinner was enjoyable and it’s so great being able to see the stars away from light pollution! Would recommend!

  15. Birgit_S

    all was great The Park with the Kanguroos and Koalas. Was a little bit pity that we have had no more time. The Pinnacles a great to see and the meal was very good. The stars at the sky was wonderful to see and our Guide explainted it very good

    Tour started then cancelled while we were at Yanchep National Park. Bus broke down. We waitied about an hour and a half for a 2nd bus to pick us up. We lost so much time that we missed the sunset at the pinnacles and pinnacles themself. Not sure why their bus isn’t regularly maintained. Very disappointing! Driver Luke did not give any updates regularly, group of 20 passengers just standing around wondering….group had to ask him what’s going on. Since we lost so much time majority of group wanted to cancel. It seems the driver was still going to continue the tour still. That would’ve been a pretty expensive Dinner Only Tour. Drivers response….”It is what it is” to a group of people on vacation. This could’ve definitely been avoided if this tour company maintain their buses. I guess with an attitude of “it is what it is” shows what type of tour company this is

    The sunset view from Pinnacles was wonderful! Nice weather and cool breeze. The stargazing experience was amazing with the milky way clearly visible.

  18. Ron_J

    It is a long bus ride for some rocks in the ground. The weather was terrible- rain and clouds. No sunset. The dinner was good. The sky cleared for the star gazing.

    The tour was a great way to spend an afternoon and evening. There was a lot of sitting on the coach but it was worth it!
    The stop at the wildlife area was great as it was our first chance at seeing wild kangaroos and several koala’s too. All natural and on their terms – the best way to see animals. Had a mini “afternoon tea” before setting of – tea & biscuits in the car park (Might have been nice if we could have parked near to some benches or grass to sit on?)
    The drive to the Pinnacles did take some time, but I had my book, husband had earphones & my mum had a sleep! I think we may have been a bit delayed in arriving at the Pinnacles as it felt like we had a very hurried 20 minutes to wander down before being told we would miss the sunset otherwise – I didn’t want to miss the sunset (which ended up being too cloudy for anyway!) so we didn’t explore all the formations as much as I would have liked.
    We went about 20 minutes down the road for dinner. The place was busy and clearly popular – they didn’t seem overly great at dealing with a large coach party AND their normal clients – only 1 person serving at the bar, long waits for food (& ours had been pre-booked!) I’d love to say the food was good, but as a vegetarian I was given a cold salad (half hour after EVERYONE else on the tour had received theirs, despite asking staff 3 times where mine was!) I ended up buying a dessert just to have some substance, and even then had to hurry it down as the bus was leaving.
    After dinner we went back to the Pinnacles area, but stayed in the car park area (despite having been told we would be going to a seated area away from the car park) The stargazing and information provided by Grant was amazing, he clearly loves his job and talking about the stars – he was so factual without being boring! I could have stayed out there much longer listening to him describing and pointing things out!
    The drive back to the hotels took about 2.5 hours, but all went smoothly with no issues.
    Thank you to the driver (sorry I forgot his name!) and Grant for being friendly and helpful throughout. Had a lovely chat with the driver after dinner too. The only dampener was the food, my husband who was a meat eater said that his was really good!

    Arriving by Australian Pinnacles Tour bus the first impression walking down into the valley was a sight I will not forget. A beautiful sunny day with some clouds. The sunset was glorious and the story the guide could tell us about the stars we were gazing at later in the tour was very impressive.
