This was a fantastic...
This was a fantastic trip! I highly recommend! We had the lovely Erin as our tour guide and she was very friendly and communicated lots to the group to make us all feel excited and comfortable! The bus drive was made interesting with lots of facts about Australia! The evening picnic was lovely and tasty with lots of selection! The stargazing was very interesting and full of interesting space facts! Loved it!

The Pinnacles, beaches and stargazing
Annalise was an excellent guide and driver. Friendly & knowledgeable. Beach stops were beautiful and tge Pinnackes amazing. Good time allowance each place. Dinner was yummy, buffet salads with bubbles or juice, strawberries & Tim Tam's to finish. Then stargazing with commentary before a smooth run back to the city. Highly recommend.

Excellent trip through...
Excellent trip through Autopia travels with a very well educated tour guide Anelise. Three stops on route to the Pinnacles followed by a lovely walk round the pinnacles and excellent food. Got to see Saturn and its rings through the telescope and the moon but unfortunately it was to cloudy to the south to see Venus, milkway etc.

Uncomfortable
The tour itself was good. Pinnacles were pretty cool and the star gazing was good. The reason for the 2 stars is because of the bus. My husband and I were Struggling to fit into the seats. If you are small framed and 100 pounds, no problem. I have a bruise on my bum because I had To sit on the belt buckle. I’m not a large person. Our shoulders overlapped and there was absolutely no way to get comfy in the seats. Also, no place to put the backpack. It was really hard to enjoy the tour being uncomfortable, especially when it’s a long drive.

A great tour
I had a great time and our your guide Annalise was the best. She gave good explanation and made sure we had the time of our lifes. Because of this I can't wait for my next tour.

Pinnacles Desert Sunset Stargazing Adventure Tour from Perth: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does Pinnacles Desert Sunset Stargazing Adventure 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 Sunset Stargazing Adventure Tour from Perth take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Stargazing Adventure Tour from Perth worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 81 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 Sunset Stargazing Adventure 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 Sunset Stargazing Adventure Tour from Perth suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pinnacles Desert Sunset Stargazing Adventure Tour from Perth?
+
Around 28 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pinnacles Desert Sunset Stargazing Adventure 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.
