Perfect day - OMG how any one can rate this less than excellent I don't know. Sam our driver/guide was awesome from the minute we arrived at the pick up. Trying to pick a day sat in the rainy UK that would be nice is always pot luck but what a great day. Sandboarding was great fun. But the Pinicles and stargazing is what drew us and it so didn't disappoint one bit. Seeing the rings on Saturn was perfect. To see our first Shooting Star was an amazing end

Awesome way to adventure - What a super trip! We started the adventure sandboarding in lanclin, which was heaps of fun, and then travelled up to the desert. Madgical place. Lots of good infomation around the stories of the first nations people. Dinner was fab. It was a bit rainy and cloudy on our night, but the guides made an effort to track the stars and we found another spot. Good value for $ too.

Despite the minor delay... - Despite the minor delay in being picked up, the tour was amazing. So much fun at the dessert and the little pitstops along the way. Amazing views at night with delicious food as it was a cloudless night.

Enjoyable day trip - For a day trip around Perth, this is a must-do. The itinerary is well-organised, offering a comfortable ride with stops at scenic lookouts, a cozy café, and an exciting sandboarding experience in Lancelin. The day concludes with a delightful dinner under the stars at the Pinnacles. Highly recommended!

Great Guide, Great Experience, Great Tour - Our driver and guide, Don, is a humorous and nice guy. He is helpful and has a lot of stories to tell, not a boring moment. My wife and I enjoyed the tour thoroughly. Claire, the admin lady whom I called to make some enquiries before the tour, was also absolutely wonderful and helpful. Thanks Claire and Don!
