★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,555 reviews · 9h 30m · from $176Our pick

Sandboard Lancelin dunes, watch sunset at the Pinnacles, enjoy an Aussie BBQ, and see the southern stars through telescopes from Perth.

“Leighton and Adrian were fantastic. Pick up was simple, they provided commentary on our drive and showed us flora, fauna, planets, stars and nebulas. The trip started during the day so we could see the national parks clearly. We had an hour to walk around the Pinnicles before the delicious bbq and stargazing. Both were professional, friendly and entertaining. The best value for money especially when visiting for a short amount of time.”

“Yes, it's a long day but absolutely worth it. We left Alice Springs at 7am and arrived at Ayers Rock by 12.30pm with a couple of decent toilet breaks and a chance for a coffee etc. along the way. Look out for Mt Connor along the way. Gary our bus driver was excellent throughout. We had a 40 minute break at the resort for lunch. The walks around the base of Uluru are easy and informative about Aboriginal culture and their stories. Cultural centre was disappointing - the videos are dated and one just kept pausing. A great bbq - lots of salad, pasta, sausage and steak with drinks of…”
