Walk among the Pinnacles at sunset, eat a picnic dinner with wine, and use a telescope for stargazing. Guides such as Casper, Adam, Erin, and Gus add commentary on local nature, culture, and astronomy.

“That was my 3rd Autopia tour so I knew I was betting on a winning horse and this tour didn't fail to meet my expectations. A visit to the Pinnacles is a must for traveller photographers, Instagram addicted or just nature and landscape lovers. The tour was nothing short of perfect, we stopped in few beautiful locations on the way before a breathtaking full immersion in the beauty of the iconic desert. A special mention for our guides Ellie and Casper especially the latter who provided us an interesting astronomy lecture and comprehensive informations about the natural aspect of the locations. Definitely a tour to recommend!”
