we enjoyed sandboarding down the dunes, went to the pinnacles to see the unique rocks where we watched the sunset. It was a wonderful sight. Dinner was hotdogs and bbq sausages with different sides and wine tasted amazing. We then went to the national park and even though the weather was not in our favour and we couldn't stargaze at the desert, we were still able to look at the sky full of stars and the moon using out binoculars as well as the telescope. Recommend to go!

Host Gavin is very knowledgeable about the local area and the Indigenous Australians that lived there. Very interesting learning how they live in conjunction with the land and created the Dreamtime stories to teach their young about living a life that respects the land and can give back to it. Gavin’s knowledge about the solar system and stars ect made for a very interesting star-gazing activity. I highly recommend doing his trip. Very comfy bus too. Very clean.

Simply amazing. If you are only doing 1 tour from Perth, this is a MUST. Gavin was brilliant, everything was well planned. Nice salads made by the Mrs was definitely a plus. The Pinnacle, the stars, it was spectacular. We had such a great time, will recommend this to anyone.
