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.”

2.Sydney Harbour Sunset Dinner Cruise from Darling Harbour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,122 reviews · from $89

Review of Sydney’s 1-hour-45-minute sunset dinner cruise, with harbour views, three-course dining, window-seat tips, costs, timing, and honest drawbacks.

“Dinner was average at best. Fish was dry. The waitress did not come back to check how it was. I had to get her attention to ask for butter and told her the fish was terribly dry. She brought cold butter, but no other resolution was offered.”

Review of Sydney’s Blue Mountains sunset tour, with Wentworth Falls, kangaroos, Three Sisters views, guided walks, and practical booking advice.

“I only had a few days in Sydney, so decided to join a tour to make the most out of my time. Wow, did I pick the right one! We had Damo as our tour guide and he was phenomenal. He has extensive knowledge of the animals and area. He was friendly and fun and made the trip awesome. We managed to see kangaroos, wallabies and wombats. All out in the open. It was an incredible experience. I loved every second of the trip and would highly recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 554 reviews · from $122

See the Pinnacles at sunset, dine with local wine, and use a telescope beneath the stars on a nine-hour tour from Perth.

“It was a amazing day, the food, and our guide too. I just wanna suggest that maybe in the next tours, the kangaroo point should be included because we made 2 stops with more than 10 minutes and have nothing too much to do or see. In general, I loved the tour, the bus is a little bit small for 17 persons but it is ok, I recommended the Autopia ☺️🏜.”
