Summary:
Fantastic trip. Even though the bus was a bit unloved and the microphone didn’t work, we had a great time. Leighton, our driver/guide looked after us a treat. Safe driving, friendly, helpful and professional. The bbq dinner was terrific and our sunset watching and star gazing, just brilliant. The astronomy part was carried out by the driver of the other bus, Hadril, I think his name was. Very knowledgeable and delivered an informative and entertaining session. We just loved our time at the Pinnacles. Thank you Leighton for all your assistance.

My family and I enjoyed the tour to the Pinnacles desert...very otherworldly looking, especially at sunset! We enjoyed a delicious bbq dinner (with wine!) and then enjoyed some stargazing with a high powered telescope...saw Saturn, surface of the moon, and the Milky Way. Very cool experience!
