Jon was our driver&tour guide for our first 2D1N tour from Escape to WA. 730am Pick up at Airbnb (allowed to pick at airbnb location as long within their postal code listed) (there was previous 2 stops before us to pick 1 solo + family of 3 + us 7 = max tour group of 11 pax) in the mini van. there was sufficient toilet breaks along the way, and guide was informative giving enough info and rest time as the whole journey is a long long drive. itinerary as follow: Lancelin Sand Dunes Lobster Shack Cervantes (lunch included) Leaning Tree Hutt Lagoon (pink lake) Natural Bridge Kalbarri Accommodation: Kalbarri Palm Resort (1N) Golden Wok (dinner, asian, not incl) Next day: Red Bluff Bakery Cafe (breakfast if not incl) 715am Check out Kalbarri Palm Resort Nature’s Window Kalbarri Skywalk Hutt Lagoon (pink lake, repeat visit) Central Greenough Cafe (lunch, not incl) The Pinnacles Desert 730pm Drop off Airbnb Gyide said we were lucky as the link lake was really really pink (pic cant do justice at all) and that other months it may looks greyish. To note: some attractions had lots of flies, very annoying will fly around your face and rest on your back and legs, the amount of flies is horrid, said in summer a million times worst that you definitely need to wear face hat net. so best to avoid this tour during summer. Day 3 of tour: another driver, Robert, picked us up with the same mini van (7 of us + family of 3 = total 10pax) 715am Pick up Airbnb Busselton Jetty Shelter Brewing Co (lunch, not incl) The Margaret River Chocolate Company Providore Margaret River Cape Lavender Teahouse Canal Rocks Broadwalk Lake Clifton Thrombolites 745pm Drop off Airbnb — overall super recommend this tour as price is affordable, hassle free and extensive coverage of tour outside of perth city. so go book!!

Join this 2-day/1-night (30-31/10) tour and be guided by tour guide YAN to visit some Western Australia attractions. The arrangements are very careful, and when you arrive at a scenic spot, you will be notified of how far it is to the destination. You will also be reminded of things to pay attention to. They will also be aware of your needs and will direct you to the restrooms or provide food locations. Knowing that everyone has come from afar, YAN will suggest some photography suggestions and angles, and even use aerial photography to help everyone take high-altitude photos. Her careful and cheerful personality makes everyone feel more friendly. This trip experience is worth recommending to everyone.

Our guides Gavin, Skip and Sam did a great job at making everyone feel at ease with their extensive knowledge and humor. Sandboarding was fun, I thought the Hangover Bay stop was unnecessary, and the Pinnacles Desert and stargazing was unreal. We saw Saturn on the telescope! Great experience overall! Would highly recommend for a different view of the desert.

incredible team of 3 guys who did all the long driving, tour guiding to share interesting trivia and history about the places, setting up of equipment and cooking. i was amazed at how smoothly and quickly the whole thing was run - very efficient and amazing experience. what i loved the most would be the experience of being under so many stars in a unique creation of mother earth. thanks so much for the magnificent experience. 20/10!

It's a lot of fun sandboarding. If you want to take portraits, it's recommended to wear a light-colored top to look better. The tour guide will give detailed explanations during the evening stargazing. In addition, there is a pick-up service, which is a great arrangement. You don’t have to worry about being late because you are not familiar with the local transportation. When you are tired, you can rest in the car and go directly back to your accommodation. It’s great!
