Memorable day trip.

JennyL, Apr 2024

It was a memorable trip. Our guide Mr Gordon was friendly and professional in his duty. Pick up from nearby our hotel in CBD is great and highly appreciated. However the lobster shack lunch is quite late and we only have less than an hour to enjoy. The sand boarding is fun and exciting however there were too many flies in lancelin and pinnacles. Great day trip..

A pleasure journey

Yan_J, Apr 2024

Great family Day out

Nicholas_F, Apr 2024

Great bus driver with excellent commentary. Good variety of activities. Caversham wildlife park was amazing. Great seafood lunch at the Lobster Shack

Awesome tour

Ninad_M, Mar 2024

Fun ,exciting, thrilling experience in this dessert pinnacle tour.It was nice to be with this tour having friendly guides and yummy meal.

Timing the activities needs to be revised

Matteo_M, Mar 2024

Unfortunately I have to give only 3 stars, because I was really disappointed by the fact the we stopped only for 30 minutes at the Pinnacles, as apparently we were "a little" behind of schedule. All the rest was fine, from the Caversham Wildlife Park to the sandboarding experience and the tour with lunch at the lobster shack. The lunch was really good, actually, but when we headed to the Pinnacles we barely had time to get off the bus and reach the closest pinnacles to take at least a picture. I do not know if that happened because the bus drivers were trying to organise the different groups on the different buses in a way to avoid overlapping each other's scheduled activities, but is was really frustrating that we could not stay longer and have the chance to admire these amazing geological structures.

Lots of fun.

Sid_L, Mar 2024

We really enjoyed this tour. It was diversified and “Australian”. Our tour director was knowledgeable and easy to listen to.

A great tour. Definitely worth it!

JESHURUN_K, Feb 2024

This is the second time I have done this tour with my first being back in 2011. I loved it so much I did it again on revisiting Perth. The staff are great, the tour is timed perfectly to allow you enough time at each stop so you can return to Perth by about 6:30pm. Pick and up and drop off at major hotels are included. Would definitely recommend it!

Caversham, Lancelin, Pinnacle dessert lobster shack

PutriRoslina_A, Jan 2024

This is definitely worth going for. Many attractions in one day. First stop Caversham Wildlife- adorable koala, kangaroo, woombat. You got a chance to feed kangaroos, touch the animals and take photos with them. Next was Lancelin sand dune- adventurous 4x4 bus ride going through the hilly sand dune like going on a roller coaster. You then get to do sand boarding- a must try! After that headed to lobster shack in a fishing village Cervantes for lunch. Finally to the Nambung National Park to experience fantastic view of the pinnacle dessert. Really enjoyed the trip. Good narrative by the tour driver Pete.

Peter_F, Jan 2024

Excellent trip with great informative coach driver. It is a long day but you will fit so much into it. Well worth doing, highly recommended

tour to do I recommend it

Claudio_C, Nov 2023

a very well organized tour, there are many things to see, but the time given is sufficient, certainly each activity would be worth staying even for half a day, but in the end you are left happy, the driver is kind, and assists you in everything, with lots of stories about the realities you are visiting

Fantastic Day in Western Europe Australia

Allison_D, Nov 2023

What a great day trip! Covered so much in a little amount of time! Everything was well done & executed flawlessly! We loved all 4 stops

Good experience!

Zann_T, Nov 2023

The tour driver, Rose is fantastic! Sandboarding time is too short, we are only there not more than 20 minutes. Would prefer this to be longer. Lobster shack tour didn’t complete as we are behind time (as per the tour lady). Would prefer not to visit Pinnacles desert and spend longer time at sandboarding.

Great experience for the tour

Danying_W, Oct 2023

Very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Just a head up that do bring some snacks for the tour. Recommend it to everyone who wants to explore 3 different places in one day.

Andrew_B, Aug 2023

Was a fantastic day, I would recommend this tour to anyone. Peter was a fantastic guide, who has an excellent knowledge of Perth and WA. The Pinnacles are amazing, nothing else like them in the world. The fish and chips at the Lobster Shack, were close to the best I've ever had.
