Enjoyable stargazing experience - We were lucky to have Jonathan as our tour guide. He is a professional astronomer (and possibly physicist as well), and while on our way he gave the tour participants a very good overview about stars and astrophysics. He also gave vivid descriptions about the spots that we visited during the daytime.
The most enjoyable part was the stargazing at the Pinnacles at night. It was not the best time of the month to gaze at the stars (as the moon was quite bright), but we did see a lot of stars which was almost mission impossible in cities. The experience was more enjoyable still with Jonathan's guide on which stars / constellations were which.
Thanks Jonathan for bringing us the wonderful experience!
Also thanks to Charlene the driver in taking us to the Pinnacles and safely back to Perth!

Fantastic trip - From the moment we were picked up at the very convenient pick up point we started to enjoy ourselves. The commentary about the surrounding area and beyond was second to none. We arrived in Yanchep National park in no time and managed to see a very sleepy Koala and several lazy kangaroos! After an Aussie style afternoon tea with yummy cake we travelled on to the Pinnacles passing terrific sandunes on the way. The Pinnacles were out of this world, stretching out into the desert but one of the highlights for us was watching the sunset over the ocean. After that, we enjoyed an trip exclusive meal in Cervantes then back to the Pinnacles to star gaze. Grant, our stargazing guide was excellent, pointing out many stars and constellations and we were very lucky, not only to see a shooting star but a quite rare fireball with a trail. Absolutely fantastic! After a safe trip back, with a detour through the suburbs due to extensive motorway roadworks, we arrived safely back, outside our accommodation. The trip was excellent and many thanks to everyone (Apologies - names are not our strong point)

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.

Great Day Out! - A fantastic trip out to the pinnacles along with a bit of sand boarding! Absolutly beautiful scenery and some good commentary from our guide!
A beautiful bbq followed by star gazing. A great way to meet people when travelling solo and a wide variety of people to chat to.
A wonderful day out.

Thank you Frank - Although we didn’t get the weather to see the stars, I really enjoyed this tour and getting to see the pinnacles in person and the kangaroos at Yanchep National Pork.
I had to write a review on how great the tour guide Frank was. He was friendly, charismatic and full of interesting anecdotes and facts on the history and geography of Western Australia. His enthusiasm hooked us all in. He went above and beyond to make the tour as informative and worthwhile as possible. Don’t make the mistake we did by not carrying cash, because you are going to want to tip him. If you are reading this thank you again Frank.

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.
