Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner en Stargazing Tour

Very well run with extremely good guide (Peter). He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

I did Lumineer Adventure Tours’ Pinnacles Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour on 9 August 2026 and thought it was excellent from start to finish. Our guide, Peter, was experienced, extremely well organised and approachable, with a great sense of humour. Throughout the journey he provided interesting commentary about Perth, the surrounding region and the places we were visiting. Our first activity was sandboarding at the Lancelin Sand Dunes. The dunes are relatively modest (about 40 metres high), so they are ideal for beginners, and Peter explained the equipment and technique clearly. Everyone had plenty of opportunities to have a go. If you have sandboarded on far bigger dunes elsewhere (e.g., 100+ metre dunes), you might find this part a little tame. We then made a short roadside nature stop, where Peter showed us some of the distinctive local plants and trees, explaining how they are adapted to bushfires. The highlight was the Pinnacles Desert. We had around an hour to explore this extraordinary landscape independently around sunset, with plenty of time for photographs in a quieter part of the park. While we explored, Peter prepared a simple but enjoyable BBQ dinner (hotdogs, meat, salad, etc) and set up the astronomy equipment. After sunset, Peter gave us an interesting introduction to the night sky while we ate. Despite fairly cloudy conditions, we could still see the Milky Way and Venus, with one large telescope and lots of binoculars available for closer views. An excellent, very professionally organised tour and a thoroughly enjoyable day. Peter was an outstanding guide and I would strongly recommend the experience.

I was a little nervous about this tour because we have a two year old and you just never know if they're going to be into something or not, but it was a great experience. Minor problem with the pick up but otherwise a great trip.

What a great way to experience the Pinnacles, along with a bit of fun sand boarding along the way. It’s a long day but the view and the photography opportunities are worth it, and the stargazing through a telescope is an added bonus. Highly recommended.

We purchased a self-drive excursion to the Pinnacles Desert directly from the website from Italy, therefore without the transport service from Perth. Meeting at the parking lot where they showed up on time. We followed their minibus inside the desert until we stopped at a spot. We wandered around this spectacular place freely for about an hour; it feels like walking on Mars. They set up a delicious barbecue and a series of spectacular side dishes. During the barbecue, they then gave some general information about the Cosmos. When night falls, the view of the Milky Way is something wonderful; there is a telescope available with which we observed the Southern Cross. On the staff, there is a guy who is very good at setting up smartphones for night photos; the photo on the pinnacles with the Milky Way behind is worth the not-inexpensive price of the excursion. Fantastic.

The Stargazing was a wonderful, wonderful experience. The coach captain, David is such a great host.. He was very professional in his services and willing to go an extra mile which we appreciated. His knowledge of the milky way and which stars to point us to is impressive. His cooking at the Pinnacle was fabulous and the amount of food was more than enough for all of us. The only complaint we had is - the seats and leg room is too squeezy, our legs could hardly move once we are seated. It's a fully packed group thus every seat was taken up. We are glad that the group on the whole was a cooperative and cohesive one though we don't know each other.

It was an awesome experience. Sandboarding was a special treat and the stargazing experience was also a great experience. Such a great variety of activities and the dinner was also great!

Driver and guide, Pete was great. Pinnacles definitely the highlight of the trip but other aspects also enjoyable. Having the telescope to look at things only visible in the southern hemisphere was cool. Pete was very knowledgeable. Food was good, served buffet style. Would go again.

Was s wonderful experience and the guide Peter was extremely knowledgable, friendly and made the trip worthwhile. He made the trip a lot of fun.

It was a fun day out. Our guides took very good care of us and are very passionate! Sam made sure all of us had a chance sliding down the dunes and kept everyone on time Peter was very passionate during story telling, about the culture, showing us the stars and planets. We were blessed with clear skies as well. Highly recommended!
