We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Gavin! - We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Gavin! He was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He has deep knowledge of the stars above the Pinnacles and he also shared a lot of interesting stories and history about the Pinnacles. The whole experience was informative, fun and very memorable.

Still good even in the cold - We went in the middle of winter so there was rain and cold weather to deal with but the guides were all great. Luckily the rain was on and off and we were able to go sandboarding which was really fun even though we crashed a few times. The dinner was good and it was nice to talk to so many people from different countries. There were not many stars out because of the weather. But we still enjoyed ourselves and learnt many things from our guides. I think it was all well planned and a great tour to go on. Good times

It was a great afternoon... - It was a great afternoon and evening. Although the Pinnacles are a long way from Perth, it was worth it just to see them. There are plenty of stops on the way there for the conveniences, viewing the dunes and sea, and, for those that wished to, sandboarding. The BBQ meal was excellent. It got quite cool and windy after dark and unfortunately, it was heavily overcast, so we were unable to enjoy the sunset or the stars. Adrian, our guide, did his best in spite of the weather which is no one's fault. To compensate, he took us to Kings Park to see the city lights.

Stargazing - A great tour and a great, knowledgeable guide. Even though the weather threatened to be against us we still got to see what we came to see and learned a thing or two about star photography with our phones.
