Perth to WA’s Pinnacles Desert for sandboarding at Lancelin, sunset BBQ, and guided stargazing with telescopes and astro binoculars.

The sunset was breathtaking, and stargazing under that vast, open sky felt truly magical. An experience I’ll never forget!”

“Wir hätten uns bei der Buchung wohl besser informieren sollen, da dies überhaupt nicht unseren Vorstellungen entsprach. Es war sehr eng, dreckig und es hatte viel zu viele Personen auf dem Schiff. Ausserdem keine wirklichlichen Sitzgelegenheiten um zu Essen oder einfach auch mal zu chillen. Man durfte weder vom Schiff ins Wasser springen, noch gab es iregdnetwas an Bord zu kaufen (Bier, Snacks oder sonst was). Die 2te Nacht verbrachten wir im Hafen, wobei alle nur noch froh gewesen wären vom Schiff zu kommen. Die Crew war auch nur mässig unterhaltsam oder wirklich anwesend. Ich denke, die hatten selbst keinen Bock. Informiert euch daher lieber besser, nehmt etwas mehr Geld…”
