What we do
An ancient landscape blessed with stunning sunsets and dark night skies full of stars. This is the Pinnacles Desert, now an internationally renowned stargazing destination.
This small group tour includes the use of the latest Astronomy Equipment to help you get the most out of your stargazing experience. We have a powerful computerised telescope and astro binoculars for your use so that you can see the planets and our moon in great detail. There is also the option to attach your smartphone to the telescope to take pictures of the moon.
The tour runs all year round, the night sky changes throughout the seasons and although it is a bit colder, autumn, winter and spring are some of the best times of the year to see the Milky Way and Planets in the Southern Hemisphere.
While you wait for the stars and planets to appear, enjoy a traditional Australian Barbeque Dinner with a glass of Swan Valley wine as you watch the sun set over the Indian Ocean.
We specialise in small group tours using our modern luxury Mini Buses which allows us to drive in to the middle of the Pinnacles Desert for your Stargazing Experience. This tour regularly sells out so please book early to avoid missing out.
The first stop on the tour is the Lancelin Bakery for a quick coffee/food & toilet stop before heading in to the sand dunes for sand boarding. We then follow the turquoise coast along Indian Ocean Drive doing a few stops along the way to see wildflowers in season as well as a guided walk to see native plants used the the Aborigines for food and medicine.
We end the tour with dinner under the stars in the Pinnacles desert where you will get the opportunity to get a close up look at the stars and planets through our telescope, try your hand at Astrophotography, learn about Aboriginal Astronomy and hear stories from the Aboriginal Dreamtime as they relate to the night sky.
The final part of the evening is a Sound Healing session by candelight in the desert. This ancient healing practice is the perfect way to slow down and connect with nature as you listen to a live performance of a didgeridoo and crystal sound healing bowl.

Bookings can still be made right up until the departure date of the tour if seats are available.

Who travels with us
Is this tour for me?
Our tours are made up of small groups with a range of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds. Generally people who travel with us are between 20 and 49, though we also get alot passengers much older onboard - everyone is welcome! On tour we get equally as many males as females and everyone shares an enthusiasm for the out doors, nature, adventure and culture. Our tours are for those wanting to really explore and share the experience with likeminded travellers. Whether we are camping by a billabong in Kakadu National Park or sharing a cabin in Tasmania, our travellers want more than just a site seeing tour. They are chasing a hands on group experience. The trips are packed with many highlights and the pace can be fast. There may be some long drives and passengers should expect to help out when setting up camp or cooking food - this is a group adventure. However, there’s always time to chill out, have a cold beer ( or wine! ) and soak up your surroundings. As always, if in doubt then contact us directly with your concerns.
Cost and Fees
What does "Paid Locally" mean?
Some tours require you to pay national park fees directly, in cash, to the tour guide on the morning of departure. Rest assured this will be subtracted from the tour price when reserving your tour.
Will I need additional money?
Visitors are advised to bring some cash as ATMs and banks can be few and far between depending on where we are during the trip. Its handy to have some extra cash as we do stop by local shops and cafe.
Do I need to tip our guide?
If you had an amazing time on tour and wish to tip the guide, then that is completely up to you. However, tipping is not customary and is not at all expected.
Are there any hidden fees I need to know about?
Our tour prices are completely transparent. There are no additional fees involved that are not included in the overall tour price shown. If you wish to do optional activities such as helicopter rides or wildlife safaris, then an extra cost may be needed. However, this will always be made clear at the time of your booking.
Whilst on tour
What type of tent will I get?
Tents are generally designed to accommodate a minimum of 2 people. This means there is plenty of room to move about and store your luggage. However, most Uluru tours we try and encourage the use of swags and mattress rather than tents. This is the ideal way to camp in the centre of Australia; Around a campfire, under the stars!
What will the food be like?
Our emphasis is on fresh food wherever possible and our meals are nutritious and varied on these tours. If you are vegetarian or gluten intolerant we can cater for you, but if you have very specific dietary needs you may need to provide your own food, please discuss this at time of booking. For breakfast we supply cereals, fruits, toast, tea and coffee. Lunch is usually a self-serve picnic sandwich and salads; in the evening we have a cooked dinner - This can vary between pastas, bbqs, rices and other hearty food to keep you energized! We always carry water in the vehicle and you will often have the chance to buy your own drinks, ice-creams etc at stops. Please refer to each individual tour/package to establish which meals are included.
Can you cater of special diets?
We can certain cater for most dietary needs. Please advise us at the time of your booking so arrangements can be made. For travellers with more extreme diets we may ask that you bring along additional snacks.
Can I book extra accommodation for the start and end of the tour?
We know our country inside and out and would be happy to give you good recommodations. Please contact us for recommendations.

What is the weather like in Western Australia?
WA is Australia’s largest state, comprising one-third of its land mass. In the north much of the landscape is barren. The Great Sandy Desert fringes the central-west coast. The Nullarbor, a vast dry plain, sweeps across the south and over the border into South Australia (SA). The southwestern corner of the state is a fertile area of forest and vineyards, and is only small in comparison to the size of the rest of WA.Interesting variations in landscape include the Kimberley in the extreme north of the state, a wild and rugged area with a convoluted coastline and stunning inland gorges.The Pilbara, in the northwest, is magnificent ancient-rock and gorge country from which the state derives vast mineral wealth. Away from the coast most of WA is simply a huge empty stretch of outback: along with the Nullarbor Plain and the Great Sandy Desert, the Gibson and Great Victoria Deserts cover much of the state.It’s tropical in the north, where the Dry and Wet seasons replace winter and summer. The Dry lasts from June to August and the Wet from December to February, with monsoonal rain falling from January onwards. The rain can render roads impassable and Port Hedland weathers a serious cyclone at least every two years. In the interior the climate is semi-arid and arid. The southwest of WA is temperate. It’s often above 25°C here while the average temperature along the Kimberley coast is a heavenly 28°C. Up in the Pilbara temperatures can soar to an enthusiasm-depleting 48°C.
What sort of accommodation, vehicles and facilities do we use?
Accommodation on the tour is a mixture of National Parks, camp grounds (with showers and toilets), bush camps (no facilities). Every night in your swag. When camping we use swags with foam mattresses. We like to be flexible with our camping spots as sometimes weather conditions will dictate the best place to camp. We travel in an air-conditioned Mini Bus (maximum of 18 passengers across the Nullarbor) with a purpose built camping trailer.

“Do not miss this tour!”
Travelled 27th June 2025
(5/5)
This tour had lots of fun activities wrapped into one tour.
The first activity involved sand boarding down sand dunes. Our guides provided boards and helped seat us and sent us flying down the dune. Great fun!
The second activity had us wandering among the pinnacles in the desert. The pinnacles are amazing. The sunset was gorgeous!
After dinner we looked at the stars. With no ambient light so many starts are visible. Our guides brought out telescopes and binoculars for our use. They were knowledgeable and pointed out many constellations. We even saw satellites!
This tour was so unexpected and I would recommend this to anyone who wanted to experience something out of the ordinary

Travelled 19th May 2025

This trip was amazing. It's quite a drive to get to the Pinnacles desert from Perth CBD, but is definitely worth it. We made a few stops along the way, which broke the journey up a little, and also showed us some amazing areas of WA.
The actual desert was definitely the highlight and such an interesting place. We had a BBQ dinner in the middle of the desert, and then had the amazing experience of the star gazing. The guides were knowledgeable and informative, and obviously loved what they do.
We were picked up at midday in Perth CBD, and dropped back at our hotel around 10.30pm, so a big day - definitely worth it though. I would highly recommend this day trip to visitors to Perth.

We had a fantastic afternoon with Don. His patience more than I would have in this tour role. Don was super knowledgeable about the areas & good fun to banter with.
We were picked up from our hotel & eventually picked up everyone (including those that we had to return for bc they couldnt be outside waiting on time like everyone else...) then finally off on to an adventure.
It did rain hard but brief when we arrived to sandboard but what a great area!! Everyone still had the opportunity to sandboard down & were allowed to go again if they wanted to fight the rain... We wenrlt up to the lookout & it was beautiful looking out over the water.
Pinnacles were spectacular. A shame cloud cover ruined our planet viewing from the telescope but the clouds cleared to see the milky way plus a few other constellations I never knew about.

Great day trip. Picked up at our hotel st about midday and we were dropped back at 9-45pm. Incredible clear skies provided us with probably a 9 out of 10 Stargazing experience. Our guide Adrian, was very knowledgeable and attentive throughout the day. He helped everyone with his extensive photographic experience to take an iconic Pinnacles /. Star photograph and his patient efforts to help we novices with our various Smart phones must be commended. Given it had been raining all week and we had beautiful skies - we were blessed. The dune sliding and lovely BBQ dinner really paled behind the incredible night sky and the star gazing opportunity we were provided. We had a great time.

I don't normally do google reviews but I needed to do one for this tour because of how spectacular the tour, and especially our tour guide Don was! Everything was well scheduled, from pick up to drop off, and you can be rest assured you're in good hands. Don is so friendly and inclusive towards every single person of the tour, constantly checking on the wellbeing of everyone. This is so appreciated and contributes to making the environment such a great one as we come to mingle with one another. I was initially afraid the journey to the dunes/desert was going to be long. However, Don had such knowledgable and fun commentaries, paired with a wonderful music playlist throughout the ride, and before I knew it, we had reached our destination(s). To top it off, the sandboarding and stargazing are activities I will certainly remember for a long time to come. It was an absolutely beautiful journey, and the tour is certainly recommended to anyone with an adventurous soul (-:

I was exceptionally happy with Hadrien (our tour guide). He was a lovely individual who had a lot of great stories and played the part of tour guide well. As for the tour, the sandboarding was fun (you can stand, sit, or just watch). You get stops along the way for toilets, for tea and snacks, and at picturesque views of the ocean or the bush. Lastly, the Pinnacles are fun scenery with interesting history. You are treated to a meal around sunset, where there's hot chocolate, wine, sausages, potatoes, and various kinds of veggies (at least when I went). Hadrien has blankets for those cold, but be prepared for the desert to get a little windy. He also brings a telescope (we got to see the rings of Saturn!) and binoculars. Lastly, the low light pollution is perfect for star gazing. Such beautiful sights as the universe opens up.

A very enjoyable tour. You visit some beautiful viewpoints along the coast and see stunning landscapes throughout the tour. As well as this you can try sandboarding which is great fun. Our guide Dom was fantastic and shared heaps of interesting facts and information about Western Australian. He added a good amount of humour and jokes too which added much to the experience. The Pinnacles were breathtaking and it was great to take in the views and also the stars and moon, although we did have some clouds during our visit (it happens). Finally the food was really good with some healthy salad and veggie options plus good wine, tea and coffee too. Overall

It was so much fun sand boarding, and then stargazing under the night sky. It was magical. Dinner was amazing too, courtesy of Don and Emma. And we learned alot about the milky way, the planets. A magical day I will cherish forever. Thank you to the wonderful guides from Lumineer. Really made our stay in Perth an experience to remember for a lifetime.

This is a MUST DO tour to explore the raw beauty of WA’s natural environment just north of Perth. Lumineer Adventure Tours provided exceptional customer service from enquiry stage right through to drop off after tour. Emma (our Guide) was exceptional - her unlimited knowledge, genuine kindness to all guests & incredible love of nature gave us an adventure we will never forget! Sand boarding, whale watching with true breathtaking experiences of the Pinnacles & surrounding desert from sunset to stargazing night skies left us buzzing. The delish evening BBQ was perfect after a big afternoon of fun (so many different salads to choose from). Great resources for all to use was so cool (telescope, binoculars, sand boards, blankets). Extra bonus of Emma teaching us simple phone photography tricks to capture the stars & Milky Way. I wishes I lived in WA PS would strongly recommend taking plenty of media storage as is photography utopia.

I took the Pinnacles Desert Stargazing Tour with them. It was great. I loved every moment. Leighton was our tour guide. First we went sandboarding, he help with tips and tricks on how to get down the best way. We then went to a beautiful beach for a quick walk and to the Nilgen Lookout. On the way Leighton explained about some animals living there and about the vegetation and bush fires, etc. Then we arrived at Pinnacles Desert and had an hour or so to wander on our own, take pictures, watch the sunset. It was amazing. When we came back to the vans, dinner was ready. First we got some appetizers, then sausages with salads. The salads were fantastic! I‘m not a big fan of sausages in general, but I enjoyed the ones they had, but for me the salads were the star of the dinner. While we were eating, Leighton set up a telescope and had us look at the moon and saturn. He gave tips on how to get the best night sky pictures. Then we headed back to Perth. Thank you so much! It was a great tour and Leighton was a great guide! Highly recommend!

Despite Perth being almost clouded in, we had the most wonderful evening under the stars. Skip, our driver, collected us right on time & we soon had everyone on board, a mixed collection of all ages & from a variety of countries around the world.
It's approximately 90 minutes to the first stop in a lovely little town called Lancelin where we stopped for a toilet break & some afternoon tea. The cafe had plenty of home made, delectable delights to choose from. There is also a bakery that is obviously a hit with the locals & an ice cream shop.
After a short stop we headed off to go sandboarding down the giant, pristine, whitest sand dunes you'll ever see. By all accounts everyone seemed to have a great time with lots of laughter & screams of delight.

My husband and I joined the Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner & Stargazing Tour, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. This was our first-ever guided tour, and we’re so glad we decided to do it!
The guides were fantastic, friendly, and passionate about sharing the experience. The sunset over the Pinnacles was breathtaking, and we were pleasantly surprised by how well-prepared and enjoyable the dinner was.
The stargazing session was magical, seeing the stars in such a clear sky and listening to the fascinating stories behind them made the night even more special.
If you’re considering this tour, go for it! It’s an incredible way to experience the Pinnacles and the night sky in the best way possible.

This was a very nice trip to be part of. It starts midday and gets you back late, so plan accordingly. The coastal stop had a beautiful view. The sandboarding was very fun and pretty much anyone can do it. They use wax on the bottom of the board before each turn so it easily glides down the dune. Fun for all ages! The Pinnacles is an interesting place and the story of how it came to be makes it more so. There was a good amount of time to wander and explore and take photos while dinner was being prepared. Dinner was very nice! One of the two guides was very knowledgeable about the heavens and had a great telescope for viewing many celestial bodies. Most people were asleep on the way back to Perth after a long, rewarding day.

I want to give a special shout out to our incredible guides. There were two vehicles and one experienced a flat about an hour in to our drive. After a rather lengthy repair stop, we found out that a nearby fire had resulted in the closing of a highway, which meant that we had to take a long detour (both directions). I don’t know how they did it, but our guides still made the trip happen. They were by far the most efficient and hard working guides I’ve ever seen. Both were working full out at each stop to provide everything on the itinerary. Beyond impressive. It ended up being a very long and exhausting day (can’t imagine how tired the guides were!), but the pinnacles and stargazing made it all worthwhile. Truly an incredible, awe inspiring experience. Definitely recommend!!

Our driver and guide were excellent and knowledgable. The Pinnacles were just magnificent and being there in the evening meant it wasn’t crowded. We watched the sun set and then headed over to a beach - a dark sky zone and watching the stars, planets and constellations was out of this world!! Our guide was an astronomer and provided fantastic info and stats - just magical!

Had an absolutely amazing Tour with Lumieer from start to finish
They collected us in Perth city where we were introduced to out Driver Don and our Mercedes Benz bus "Nova"
After collecting our tour mates for other locations we set off on our drive up north .
During the drive Don told us facts about the area in which we were travelling, including local flora and fauna and the history behind the area.
We stopped at a local bakey/ ice cream shop to stretch out legs before heading the the Lancelin Sand Dunes!
There we went sand surfing. All equipment provided. We then proceeded on to the Pinnacle Desert for an exploration around sunset followed by star gazing.
Dinner was provided an awesome BBQ with salads made by the Owner Claire with wines, hot beverages and soft drinks.
The team, Don, Gavin and Emma told us stories about the indigenous history as well as stories about the sky and constellations. Telescopes and binoculars were provided to see the stars close up as well as blankets to keep us warm

What a wonderful experience!
2 work colleagues recommended this experience, both telling me it was amazing. And amazing it was. My 12 year old daughter, 14 year old son and I were all blown away.
The 3 of us couldn’t believe what we could see through the telescopes.
Don, Emma and Hadrien were so helpful, patient, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Don’s story-telling is terrific.
Nicely structured, well thought out and very chill. Perfect amount of time too.
Lovely wine (I had the Cab-Shiraz) and v nice food, we especially enjoyed the fresh, tasty salads.
My daughter insists I mention the dips with fresh vege sticks.
My son loved having plenty of free time to run through the pinnacles…
Special mention to Claire who kindly and patiently helped me through canceling due to a sick child when most others would make that difficult and uncomfortable. I’m thrilled that we were able to make this possible a couple of months later.
Thanks to the team for a memorable experience. I will recommend to anyone I know who is visiting the area.

What a great experience. We didn't do the bus tour from Perth as we were staying in Cervantes so we met the group at the Pinnacles. Due to the cyclone up north, the park ranges wouldn't let the bus enter the park so we had to walk. We've never done it by bus so we can't compare but we LOVED that we walked in instead. We got to get up and close to the Pinnacles. The staff were all fantastic and we loved the stargazing and the knowledge they had about stars and planets. It was a fantastic place to see the sunset. We highly recommend the Lumineer Pinnacles tour. Thanks for a great night.

Everyone was very kind, from booking the reservation from America late one evening, to making sure my pickup location was correct. I was so impressed by everyone.
Sam picked me up at my hotel and we drove out to Lanclin to the sand dunes, then Hangover Bay, followed by a most epic visit to the Pinacles. Sam, Skip, and Gavin went the extra mile in every way. Attentiveness, kindness, and comradery. It was just the little things, like hot cocoa in the evening, an overabundance of food, the swiftness which the guys set everything up. I look back over the photos of that adventure and want to go back so much.

Sam was our tour guide that day, he is a great guy and an excellent driver. But on top of everything that made the tour unforgettable - the service was outstanding. When we were on the bus back, my friend recognized she had lost her bracelet at the Pinnacles while sitting on one of the blankets they had provided for us to lay on the sand and watch the stars. I told Sam when he dropped us at the hotel, and the next evening, we got a call from Claire, the director of Lumineer that Sam had found the bracelet (which means he has looked for it). He even brought it back to our hotel, and we cannot thank both, Sam and Claire, enough for helping us like this. Highly recommend!

Thank you for the amazing experience! We had a quite cloudy day and we only got a little glimpse of sun during at the sand dune and a little during sunset at the pinnacles that made everything special! We had a yummy dinner at the Pinnacles and our guides were very nice and friendly.
We unfortunately were very unlucky with the weather but our guide Adrian really tried to find different spots for stargazing on the way back to Perth and even if he could not find any as it was clearly raining we really appreciated the effort. To make the night special anyways he stopped on top of Kings Park to let us enjoy the views of Perth at nights as a consolation which we really appreciated!
Seeing the stars would have been cherry on top of the day but it is okay, they can’t control the weather and made it special anyways! I am sure on a clear day the experience is amazing!

The sandboarding was pure exhilaration and the boards themselves were in great condition. Definitely a highlight.
Then the sunset and stargazing was pretty special. You could tell that all the guides were passionate about astronomy, and the sky was ideal for seeing the stars and nebulas. The provided binoculars meant you could see the rings of Saturn if you squinted!
The food spread was also way better than expected.

So glad we picked this tour. Gavin and Sam were awesome. From the sand boarding to the pinnacles desert. The information provided was interesting and relevant. The food was lovely, and the whole operation was extremely professional. The pinnacles themselves are quite amazing and having the opportunity to see the planets of Saturn and Jupiter was also excellent with Gavin ensuring everyone had an opportunity to participate. Thanks for an excellent time.

Awesome tour! Despite the weather being unseasonably cold, wet and windy, Gavin still delivered a very worth while experience. From the convenient and on-time pick up, to the amazing BBQ (including a variety of salads, wines and accommodating different dietary needs) at the pinnacles, everything ran smoothly. While we weren't able to use the telescopes due to cloud cover, Gavin tried his best to find clear night sky for us and still provided us with amazing facts and stories from the first nations people of the land we were on. Thank you for a memorable day!

A great tour, super-knowlegeable. A coffee-stop and a couple of wee stops on the way, safe driving, interesting places - Lancelin Dunes and Wildflowers before ending at The amazing Pinnacles for good food, history, sunset(s) and woo the stars.
Walk away from the viewing point for unusual photos.
Take water, biccies and a jumper.
Thank you Gavin

The best tour I’ve ever done! Gavin our guide and driver was knowledgeable about the area on the way to the Pinnacles and gave us some great facts. Sand boarding was alot of fun on the way too. Once we got there, the BBQ and sunset were fantastic as were the telescopes once the sun had gone down. The whole tour was run very smoothly and was thoroughly enjoyable! Pick up and drop off were well organised and communicated. I would highly recommend to anyone!

It's a big afternoon out, but totally worth the effort. Fearing the rain in Perth was going to spoil our sunset and star gazing plans, we trusted Gavin's assurances, which were proven correct, and experienced a gorgeous sunset, hearty meal and cloudless night for stargazing. Throw in some sand boarding and wildflowers and it was an epic trip. Totally worth it despite the long bus ride, but nothing's close in WA! The Pinnacles are just stunning, and the tour was excellent.

You cannot visit perth without doing this tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I absolutely loved this tour. Gavin our guide was fantastic and knowledgeable. I loved learning about the trees and flowers we drove past as well as the stories of the stars. The sand boarding over the beautiful white sand dunes was so fun and we were able to have many goes and even stand up!
This tour was not rushed. We got to spend ample amounts of time at the sand dunes and at the pinnacles which was very relaxing and meant we got to properly experience the sunset and see all the stars!

Yesterday, I attended the Pinnacles Sunset Stargazing Tour and had the best time. I have limited mobility but can walk a little. When we got to the sand dunes I assumed I would have to just wait in the bus BUT with the help of our tour guide, Gavin, (and The Happiness Crew team) I got to go down the sand dunes twice! I felt so happy and included. Also, sorry if you have a sore back today Gavin - soft sand mixed with a fully grown adult is not the best combo haha. Gavin was also happy to help get my walker in and out of the bus at every stop. The experience itself was very well planned and organized too. I loved learning about the stars and the Pinnacles (especially the dreamtime stories). Really could not recommend this company enough! Would give them 100 thousand million stars if I could (that's an estimate of how many stars in the Milky Way).

Absolutely loved this tour and would highly recommend to anyone. Its very informal and perfect for anyone who wants to experience something a little different. The sandboarding was great fun, but, it wasn't obligatory and an alternative was available for those not so nimble on their feet. Catching the Pinnacles at Sunset is just magical. It brought an emotional moment for me that just made my trip to Oz.

Great way to kill a day. Skip was a great guide and kept things light hearted and fun. We went on the night of the Geminid meteor shower but ran out of time since the shower really picks up at 2 AM but the park closes at 9 PM. However Skip was cool with stopping on the way back so we could get another chance at catching a few meteors (and we did!) Amazing day, highly recommend it you'll be absolutely spent by the end.

It was a very windy day but Gavin and Jack managed to set up a nice wind break and serve up a delicious dinner. The best part for us was the night sky views. I would make this my #1 tour when visiting Perth. Thanks Susan

If I could, I would give this tour even more than a five star rating!!!!
Where do start:
First of all loved that they offered pick up and drop off service.
Sandboarding in 'Australian Dubai' was soo much fun.
Afterwards on our way to the Pinnacles National Park we got to see an Emu and serval Kangaroos in the wild!
Once we were in the Pinnacles the sunset was just wow amazing and afterwards seeing the stars in the sky so clear was just another next level experience.
Thank you soo much to Gavin for taking some pretty amazing pictures of us with the stars in the background.
Uhhh did I mentioned we camped out there and had some lovely drinks and a barbie?
So as you can see this tour is 5/5 or even 10/5.
Big shout out also to skip loved your jokes and just to chat with you while driving up there!
Definitely recommend this tour of you hadn't notice it through all of my praise in this review

This tour is tops! Gavin cooks up a great BBQ at the end of the day. His knowledge of the stars and photography is outstanding and was a great comfort to me as new to astrophotography that I had the right settings and where to take the best shots. The Pinnacles is a definite must see if you go to WA. The landscape is full of history and keeps you wondering how these rock formations were formed. I would highly recommend Lumineer Adventure Tours to one and all.

I really enjoyed this tour; the itinerary was great and it was very well run. I was originally going to hire a car for the day, but the tour turned out more cost efficient. Our driver Gavin was super friendly and really knowledgeable on the history of the area and the universe. The main event is the pinnacles, but the sand dunes were equally as spectacular. Paired with dinner and a glass of wine, made for a great day trip.

From sand-boarding, short trek walk to desert stargazing, Gavin is a great tour guide who shared lots of Aussie stories and information/knowledge about Mother Nature. Pick-up and Drop-off service is considered as the tour goes from noon to night, we all got good care by Gavin. Overall it’s a great tour to participate, unique experience can be expected, the scenery outside of the city, and even rare in the world - highly recommended especially if you are a stargazing lover.

The tour exceeded my expectations, it starts with being super punctual for picking up at the meeting point, in fact it arrived up to 10 minutes early, the places we went through were super beautiful and the driver Sam was super friendly, kind and polite. The sky at Pinnacle is surreally beautiful, it was one of the most incredible and unforgettable sunsets and moonlights I've ever seen. The end of the night where Gavin explains about the stars was also really fun. There were many things that I didn't even expect, where I say that it exceeded my expectations, but that's just you going to check it out to find out because if not I won't write until tomorrow hehehe.
