Fabulous tour & tour guide - highly recommend!
This was a fabulous tour from start to finish, and that includes the fact that it was a rainy day and I was jetlagged! Great communication, convenient pick up, comfortable vehicle and loved the small group size of no more than five! The tour guide, Cara, is an absolute pleasure to spend the day with, accommodates both individual interests and fluctuations in weather, such that it made it easy to get great photos, stop and get out at areas of interest (walk along the beach, up the sand dunes, through pinnacle desert), eat great food (fresh lobster!), and just generally enjoy what was a long tour day, but didn’t even feel like it! Particularly like Cara’s approach to leaving Perth early in the morning to avoid crowds at both pinnacles and the sand dunes. This tour is especially great for anyone who is an early riser (and/or is up early due to jet lag!) as you get back in time for dinner after getting to do/cease so many things.

Fun filled day out
A great day out of Perth with Cara, who was an awesome guide, in a small group tour. Everything was thoughtfully done, with loo stops, coffee, tea and snacks, the amazing Pinnacles, a view of a lake, super lunch, and fun sand boarding at Lancelin. A great fun filled day, I would thoroughly recommend!

A fabulous five star Pinnacles experience.
This was a fabulous experience. Cara was a terrific guide with lots of interesting facts and stories. The vehicle was very comfortable and the lobster lunch delicious. Cara made us feel that everything on the tour was about us and we had a fabulous day. Saw so many beautiful and fascinating sights and nothing was too much trouble.

Exceptional and Unforgettable tour
It was a wonderful experience for us and we are grateful for such a memorable day. Our tour guide, Cara, was outstanding. She was warm, friendly and caring throughout the entire journey. She was also very flexible and attentive, making sure our needs were met at every step. We absolutely loved the Pinnacles Desert experience. Cara knew all the best spots and showed us where to capture amazing photos, which made the visit even more special. The Lobster Shack lunch was another highlight. We enjoyed the delicious lobster and the abalone in creamy garlic sauce. The afternoon sandboarding activity was great fun and a unique experience that we will always remember. Cara took fabulous photos and videos for us. Overall, this felt like a personal, private and privileged tour, one of the best we have ever experienced.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4x4 Pinnacles Desert & Turquoise Coast Small Group Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does 4x4 Pinnacles Desert & Turquoise Coast Small Group Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $235 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 4x4 Pinnacles Desert & Turquoise Coast Small Group Experience take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perth is not rushed.
Is 4x4 Pinnacles Desert & Turquoise Coast Small Group Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4x4 Pinnacles Desert & Turquoise Coast Small Group Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 4x4 Pinnacles Desert & Turquoise Coast Small Group Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 10-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 4x4 Pinnacles Desert & Turquoise Coast Small Group Experience?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perth and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4x4 Pinnacles Desert & Turquoise Coast Small Group Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Perth?
+
On Outty we rank every Perth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Optus Stadium Tour, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour, VIP Swan Valley Wine Tour - Premium Small Group Wine & Gourmet Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Perth?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Perth?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
