Great afternoon/evening at the Pinnacles - We booked the tour from bqck home and in the UK. From the off, Pinnacles Tours (PT) showed exceptional customer service. Marisa tried applying the entertainment book discount but it wouldn’t allow it online. After a quick email, PT refunded the discount amount.
Regrettably as well, we made a booboo with our booking, and it was booked for the 17th, again after a quick call on the day, PT moved our booking on the day to the 24th! Hassle free, excellent customer service.
On to the trip, our tour guide and coach captain, Anton, picked us up from our holiday at 2pm in the afternoon. From there we travelled up to Yanchep to see the Koalas, and then up to Cervantes to the Tavern for our lunch.
After lunch, we went to the Pinnacles to take in the amazing sunset and views, and then down to Lancelin beach. We had a coffee and cake, and then back to the Pinnacles to stargaze! All amazing! Some breathe taking views.
Anton was a brilliant guide, very knowledgable and friendly.
Brilliant, brilliant trip! Thanks PT

The stars were the star of the show - Great trip. We absolutely lucked out and Jonathon was our guide. He is an actual astronomer, so we learnt a ridiculous amount about the stars and a whole heap of other stuff on the trip there.
Even though the trip was for the pinnacles the stars were the star of the show. If you go definitely go for the sunset and star gazing.
The driver was really nice, but even though it's a new bus there were a few hiccups with it. I still gave 5 stars, because Jonathon was brilliant. Some very intelligent people struggle to connect with the average person, but he was great.
The pub dinner was also good and we had enough time there have a bit of a walk around too.

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)

Good tour - Pinnacle visit was interesting and starkly beautiful. Tour guides were friendly and informative. Meal at Cervantes Pub was good. Cloudy night so star gazing was minimal. Would have liked to have had more time in the Pinnacles

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.
