Be prepared with lots of flies. Other than that, fantastic experience. Sand boarding was lots of fun. Star gazing was amazing and beautiful. David the guide, was remarkable and amazing

Beautiful stars over an unreal landscape.
The drive is long but the trip is worth it. The day we went it was extremely windy but the drivers made sure we still had a great experience. My husband and daughter both enjoyed the sandboarding and to my complete surprise I managed to have a go too! The pinnacles themselves were a very strange landscape which became an alien world after the sunset. Pete taught us lots about the stars while Sam cooked a delicious BBQ. The stars were the highlight of the trip. So many and so bright. We had binoculars to use and a chance to see them up close through a shared telescope. I saw the rings of Saturn. I definitely recommend this company and this tour.

A Truly Wonderful Experience
It's a long, long, way there (and back), but absolutely worth the time & effort. Stopovers at Lancelin (incl. sand boarding) & Nilgin help make the time & distance a lot easier to beat. Most importantly though, our fabulous driver/guide, Peter, really made the time pass enjoyably with his interesting anecdotes, stories & knowledge and understanding of the cosmos. He also knows how to run a very tasty & nutritious BBQ. Be prepared for a late night return to Perth though.

Fantastic tour!
We had a wonderful tour to The Pinnacles. From pick up to drop off, the guides Mark & Peter were friendly, helpful and very knowledgable - and brilliant cooks, the BBQ & salads were yum! Sandboarding was fun and The Pinnacles at sunset was beautiful, truly magical to see, just stunning. It was interesting to hear about the solar system, spy the rings of Saturn through the telescope (despite the clouds!) and even find out how to snap quality pics of the Milky Way with my iPhone! Highly recommend.

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $157 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 Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour 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 Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,140 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour?
+
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 Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour 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 Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour?
+
Around 399 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 Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour 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!, Ultimate Swan Valley Food and Wine Day Trip from Perth. 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.
What is included in Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour?
