Well Worth It - We really enjoyed this trip out to the hinterlands. Even though it was a long weekend locally, we had the best staff escorting us out-and-about; very knowledgeable and friendly, making this a fabulous outing. More surprising was the cross-section of peoples who found this attraction worthwhile, and we were very happy to be a part of it ... Thx Again !

Don't miss this fabulous experience - A long tour but well worth it. Everywhere is far in WA and, when you have a personable and informative guide like Zac, the miles go by quickly enough. Super comfy coach and good food at dinner time, two refreshments stops . The mysterious pinnacles were fascinating, sunset beautiful over the Indian ocean and and star gazing was gobsmackingly wondrous. I'll never forget seeing distant galaxies. Worth every cent.

The Pinnacles are worth the trip - Wonderful experience, the Pinnacles are truly spectacular. We could have spent much longer wandering around admiring them. The timing was great, we got there just before sunset. Special compliments to our driver, Vic, for his expert driving and interesting commentary.

Stunning stargazing night - It is a nice trip although the driving time was about 5 hours up and down but the time spent at the Pinnacles for the stargazing is worthwhile for the long travel. I’ve never seen stars full of the sky and they are absolutely gorgeous.

46 degrees and no stars - We did what we could on an awfully hot but cloudy day… Obviously no one can control the weather and who could’ve known that it turns out to be one of the hottest days. Chris and Zaki did everything they could to keep us cool, keep us hydrated and make sure we still got as much as we could out of the tour. It was a shame though that after the drive we didn’t get to see the sun set in the Pinnacle desert, and star gazing was a bit of a hit and miss as well because it was a very cloudy day/night. Chris provided great insights as we drove out to our stops and still explained a lot about the stars we could see and those we unfortunately couldn’t. In those temperatures and those weather conditions I just wonder if the tour operator couldn’t make a decision to cancel the tour because while I understand that weather conditions are out of everyone’s control, I didn’t really get what I paid for despite everyone’s best effort.

it went really fast, too... - it went really fast, too fast, seeing koalas and kangaroos, eating dinner and seeing Pinnacles Dessert. I could have liked the time to walk the one mile round trip. The stargazing was fantastic. The guide was really good at telling.

Compliant and Big Disappoinment - I will never recommend my friends and other people to join. I departed from Pan Pacific Perth hotel and logically, and as promised, I should have been returned to same hotel on time. However the guide forgot my existence and by passed the hotel, sending all other participants back to their hotels one by one except me. When I realized I was not brought back, it was already 12 .30am midnight. I needed to wake up early next morning and I was very disappointed and angry about such poor serices and big mistakes made. I was even not being apologized for that! What a services to a tourist!!

A Pinnacles trip, In Which You Spend Virtually No Time There. - Please don't waste your money on this trip. I can honestly say the worst organised trip ever, I have never seen so many people upset and angry. It all stems from not having the regular driver, spent double the time at the wildlife centre, the result is less than 30 minutes spent at the Pinnacles, it should have been an hour. Majority of this trip is spent getting there and back, if you have a hire car go yourself, it's dead easy to get there from Perth and you will have a lot more time at the Pinnacles. The Stargazing is done in the Pinnacles car park. This trip is all smoke and mirrors, and leave a big hole in your pocket.

日本人女性ガイドの態度に非常に不愉快な思いをしました。 - Tour Driver was great,but Japanese Tour Guide made us so pissed off. パース到着後、ピナクルツアーデスクで直接申込を行いました。申込時に、ピックアップは近くの大型ホテル、ツアー終了時刻が午後11時頃であり、遅く危ないので、宿泊先のホテルまで送るので当日ドライバーへ申し出るようにと言われたため、申し込みを行いましたが、道が狭いためホテルまで送ることはできないと当日、ドライバーに言われました。結局、ドライバーと話し合いを行い、ホテルまで送り届けていただけましたが、ツアー中の日本人女性ガイドの態度に非常に不愉快な思いをしました。 基本は英語ツアーですが、オプションで日本人ガイドを追加できるようです。参加者は50名程度、そのうち15名程度が日本人でした。1組の日本人参加者の方が日本人ガイドオプションを手配されていたようで、その1組のみ、イヤホンが渡され日本人女性ガイドが同時通訳されていました。 日本人ガイドは当然、オプションをつけられた1組を気に掛けられていましたが、夕食時はオプションなしの日本人参加者と一緒に食事され、日本語で歓談。また他のオプションなしの日本人参加者への集合時間のアナウンスも日本語でされていました。 通常ならいない日本人ガイドですが、オプションなしの日本人とも日本語で話されてましたので、ホテルのドロップオフの件はよくあることなのか聞いてみようと日本人ガイドへ日本語で話しかけた瞬間、こちらが何の話をしようとしているのか一切確認もせず、「英語ガイドツアーの方はドライバーと話してください。」と真顔で答えられ、とりつくしまもありませんでした。ガイド自身がサービスで日本語で話しかけるのはOK、日本人が日本語で話しかけるのはNGという決まり事をご自身の中でされていらっしゃるのでしょうか。 オプションをつけていないので、当たり前といえば当たり前なのかもしれませんが、非常に不愉快な気持ちになりました。 1週間のパース旅行で1番不愉快な態度で接され、1番不愉快な思いをしたのは、まさかの現地日本人女性ガイドによるものでした。 非常に残念ですが、この日本人女性ガイドが参加するツアーには二度と参加したい気持ちにはなれません。
