Our guide and driver,...
Our guide and driver, Adam, was fantastic. Incredibly knowledgable about the wildlife/plant life of the area and the general history of the area. We had fantastic weather as well.
via Viator
An Enjoyable Day at the Pinnacle
Adam is an excellent guide for this tour. He is knowledgeable about the various locations we visited. He is well organised, courteous and very helpful, not to mention a good driver!!! We enjoyed hearing the narratives given, clear concise and well organised. The meal at the lobster shack was amazing and everyone enjoyed it with no rush. The Pinnacle was amazing and the information was very interesting and informative.

Pinnacles
Not enough time at Pinnacles - 35 mins. Tour was Pinnacles so disappointing and had been told longer and minimum walk 45min in the Pinnacles
Response from the operator: Thanks for letting us know! The Pinnacles are such a fascinating place, and we understand wanting more time to wander. While this tour balances several highlights in one day, we’ll keep your feedback in mind. We’d love to see you back for a longer adventure among the Pinnacles next time!

Worth doing to see the amazing countryside north of Perth
Mix up on pick up time but once we got going it was a good day. Coach was rather old and a bit cramped had it been full but luckily we could have a double seat each. Pinnacles fantastic. Lobster shack lunch fabulous. Itinerary was great. Chocolate tasting and saw koalas at r the fabulous Yanchek national park. Didnt get offered any lavender icecream as in the description though. Overall an easy way to experience the natural flora and fauna north of Perth.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the detailed review! We're glad the day turned out well despite the pickup hiccup and coach comfort. Sorry to hear the lavender ice cream didn’t make an appearance, hopefully next time! It’s great to know the tour offered a smooth way to soak in the beauty of WA’s northern countryside.

Good tour, great experience
Great tour and experience the lobster shack is an overpriced poor self service disappointment with dry tasteless old lobster settingis beautiful however the Pinnacles are fabulous and the tour scenery makes up for it Driver guide Olly is good. The transport bus was old and cramped No music on the bus or wifi
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the scenery, especially the Pinnacles, and that Olly, your driver guide, provided a good experience. It's unfortunate that the Lobster Shack didn't meet your expectations, and that the self-service setup, food quality, and pricing were disappointing. I also appreciate your honest comments about the bus-being old and cramped without music or WiFi can impact comfort and enjoyment. Your insights are helpful for others considering this tour. Cheers!

Pinnacles Desert Lobster Tour from Perth: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does Pinnacles Desert Lobster Tour from Perth cost?
+
Prices start at $124 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 Pinnacles Desert Lobster Tour from Perth take?
+
Plan for about 9.5 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 Pinnacles Desert Lobster Tour from Perth worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 5 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 Pinnacles Desert Lobster Tour from Perth?
+
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 Pinnacles Desert Lobster Tour from Perth suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pinnacles Desert Lobster Tour from Perth?
+
Around 2 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 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pinnacles Desert Lobster Tour from Perth 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, Discover Perth Walking Tour: History, Art, Local Insights + More!, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour. 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.
